Statistical Research Group

The Statistical Research Group (SRG) was a research group at Columbia University focused on military problems during World War II. Abraham Wald, Allen Wallis, Herbert Solomon, Frederick Mosteller, George Stigler, Leonard Jimmie Savage and Milton Friedman were all part of the group in which 18 researchers participated.

Wallis, Stigler and Friedman met as graduate students at the University of Chicago. Despite their shared alma mater there is no evidence that Stigler and Friedman had grown close before serving on the SRG staff together in New York City.

The SRG was disbanded at the end of World War II. Provided by Wikipedia
