In 1922 R. A. Fisher introduced the method of maximum likelihood. He
first presented the numerical procedure in 1912. This paper considers
Fisher's changing justifications for the method, the concepts he developed
around it (including likelihood, sufficiency, efficiency and information) and
the approaches he discarded (including inverse probability).
