Mathematical Methods of Statistics

1946. xvi, 575pp. "During the last 25 years, statistical science has made great progress, thanks to the brilliant schools of British and American statisticians, among whom the name of Professor R. A. Fisher should be mentioned in the foremost place. During the same time, largely owing to the work of French and Russian mathematicians, the classical calculus of probability has developed into a purely mathematical theory satisfying modern standards with respect to rigour. The purpose of the present work is to join these two lines of development in an exposition of the mathematical theory of modern statistical methods, in so far as these are based on the concept of probability."

There are no other inscriptions and all contents are tight and clean. PLEASE NOTE: Heavy book so extra will be needed for shipping to non-UK customers.
