Book DetailsThe Carus Mathematical MonographsVolume: 3; 1927; 181 pp
This monograph contributes toward shifting the emphasis and point of view in the study of statistics in the direction of the consideration of the underlying theory involved in certain highly important methods of statistical analysis. With this as the main purpose, it is natural that no great effort is made to present a well-balanced discussion of all the many available topics.
Considerable portions of this monograph can be read by those who have relatively little knowledge of college mathematics. However, the exposition is designed, in general, for readers of a certain degree of mathematical maturity, and presupposes an acquaintance with elementary differential and integral calculus, and with the elementary principles of probability as presented in various books on college algebra for freshmen.
