Ex library copy, paper spine label removed. Very good. FIRST EDITION. This volume includes a number of papers by Karl Pearson, most notably a piece on "The mathematics of intelligence," which is an attack on Charles Spearman. Also included within this volume: On the approximate quadrature of certain skew curves, with an account of the researches of Thomas Bayes, by John Wishart. [Thomas Bayes (1702-1761) was an English clergyman and mathematician famous for Bayes's Theorem, a foundational concept in probability theory.] / On partial multiple correlation coefficients in a universe of manifold characteristics, by M. Tappan. / NOTES ON CERTAIN EXPANSIONS IN ORTHOGONAL AND SEMI-ORTHOGONAL FUNCTIONS: I. Note on Chebysheff's Interpolation Formula, by Leon Isserlis (1881-1966). [Leon Isserlis (1881â"1966) was a Russian-born British statistician known for his work on the exact distribution of sample moments, including Isserlis' theorem. He also brought to the attention of British statisticians the work of Russian mathematicians and statisticians, including Chebyshev and Chuprov]. / NOTES ON CERTAIN EXPANSIONS IN ORTHOGONAL AND SEMI-ORTHOGONAL FUNCTIONS: II Note on Orthogonalising Series of Functions and Interpolation, by Vsevolod Ivanovich Romanovsky (1879-1954). [Romanovsky gained an international reputation for his work in mathematical statistics and probability theory.]. / Determination of the cranial capacity of the negro from measurements on the skull or the living head, by Miriam L. [Louise] Tildesley (1883-1979). [Tildesley MBE was an English educator, anthropologist and museum curator. As an anthropologist, she specialised in human craniometry and osteology.]. / On the frequency distribution of the means of samples from a population having any law of frequency with finite moments, with special reference to Pearson's type II, by J. O. Irwin (1898-1982). [Joseph Oscar Irwin was a British statistician who advanced the use of statistical methods in biological assay and other fields of laboratory medicine. Irwin's grasp of modern mathematical statistics distinguished him not only from older medical statisticians like Major Greenwood but contemporaries like Austin Bradford Hill.] / A Study of the Badarian Crania Recently Excavated by the British School of Archaeology in Egypt, by Brenda N.
