Studies in Statistics

Abstract

“STUDIES ” is a title appropriate to these somewhat detached investigations concerning at least three different classes of subject. The first few chapters, relating to vital statistics, are described by the author as “of an introductory and elementary character ”; though the discussion which is contained in one of them, on the fluctuation of death-rates, varying according to the cause of death, does not appear to us so very rudimentary.

Studies in Statistics.

By George Blundell Longstaff. (London: Edward Stanford, 1891.)
