The Generalized Law Of Error - Francis Ysidro Edgeworth - Bog

The Generalized Law of Error: Or Law of Great Numbers is a book written by Francis Ysidro Edgeworth and originally published in 1906. The book is a mathematical treatise that explores the concept of the law of error or the law of great numbers. Edgeworth was a notable economist and statistician who made significant contributions to the field of probability theory. The book begins with a discussion of the normal distribution and the concept of the mean and standard deviation. Edgeworth then goes on to explore the concept of the law of error, which states that the distribution of errors in a large sample will tend towards a normal distribution. He then generalizes this concept to include other types of distributions, such as the Poisson distribution and the binomial distribution. Throughout the book, Edgeworth provides numerous examples and mathematical proofs to support his arguments. He also discusses the practical applications of the law of error in fields such as astronomy, physics, and economics. Overall, The Generalized Law of Error: Or Law of Great Numbers is a seminal work in the field of probability theory and remains an important reference for researchers and students in the field today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
