Jacques Bertillon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jacques Bertillon (November 11, 1851 – July 7, 1922) was a French statistician and demographer.
Born in Paris, Bertillon was the son of statistician Louis Bertillon and the older brother of Alphonse Bertillon. He was educated as a physician but turned to statistical analysis. In 1880 he wrote La Statistique humaine en France. In 1891-93 he chaired a committee that introduced the Bertillon Classification of Causes of Death, which was adopted by several countries; it was the precursor to today's International Statistical Classification of Diseases (ICD).[1]
He died in Valmondois, France.
