{wiki=John_Wishart_(statistician)}
John Wishart (1897–1956) was a prominent Scottish statistician known for his contributions to multivariate statistical analysis and the development of the Wishart distribution. This distribution is an important concept in statistics, particularly in the field of multivariate data analysis, as it serves as a generalization of the chi-squared distribution to higher dimensions. The Wishart distribution is used in various applications, including estimation and hypothesis testing for covariance matrices of multivariate data.
