An Introduction To The Theory Of Statistics (1919) - Paperback

by George Udny Yule (Author)

An Introduction To The Theory Of Statistics is a seminal work by George Udny Yule, first published in 1919. The book provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory of statistics, covering topics such as probability theory, the normal distribution, correlation, regression, and hypothesis testing. Yule's approach is highly mathematical, and the book is aimed at advanced undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics and statistics. The book is divided into three parts: the first part covers probability theory, including axioms, conditional probability, and the law of large numbers; the second part covers the normal distribution, correlation, and regression; and the third part covers hypothesis testing, including the chi-squared test and the t-test. Throughout the book, Yule emphasizes the importance of understanding the underlying mathematical principles of statistics, rather than simply applying formulas and techniques. An Introduction To The Theory Of Statistics is a classic work that remains highly influential in the field of statistics to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
