The Generalized Law Of Error: Or Law Of Great Numbers (1906) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781120883681)

The Generalized Law of Error, also known as the Law of Great Numbers, is a book written by Francis Ysidro Edgeworth in 1906. The book discusses the nature of errors in statistical analysis and provides a mathematical framework for understanding and quantifying these errors. Edgeworth's work builds upon the earlier work of mathematicians such as Laplace and Gauss, but extends their ideas to encompass a wider range of statistical distributions. In particular, Edgeworth's Generalized Law of Error provides a way to estimate the probability of an error occurring within a given range, based on the characteristics of the distribution being analyzed. The book is considered a seminal work in the field of statistics and has had a lasting impact on the development of statistical theory and practice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
