Erste Ausgabe der dritten aus einer Reihe von 17 Veröffentlichungen. - "These lectures mark the beginning of a new epoch in statistical theory and practice. In retrospect, it is clear that Pearson's contributions during this period firmly established statistics as a discipline in its own right.In order to place the whole of Pearson's work in proper perspective, it will be helpful to examine his contributions to distinct areas of theory and practice. Consider, for example, his 'method of moments' and his system of wonderfully diverse frequency curves. Pearson's aim in developing the method of moments was to provide a general method for determining the values of the parameters of a frequency distribution of some particular from selected to describe a given set of observational or experimental data. This is clear from his basic exposition of the subject in the first (1894) of his series of memoirs entitled 'Contributions to the Mathematical Theory of Evolution'" (DSB). - Sauber und gut erhalten. - DSB 10, 447.

London, Harrison and Sons, 1898. 8vo. Later full blue buckram. Spine with gilt lettering. In: "Proceedings of the Royal Society of London", Vol. LXII. VIII,458 pp. a. 6 plates. Pearson's paper: pp. 386-417. First appearance of this importent paper in which Pearson, expressed what he christened "Galton?s Law of Ancestral Heredity" in the form of a multiple regression equation of offspring on midparental ancestry. It is a statistical formulation of Galton?s law in the form of a multiple regression of offspring on "midparental" ancestry, with deductions therefrom of theoretical values for various regression and correlation coefficients between kin, and comparisons of such theoretical values with values derived from observational material. (DSB).The title "Contributions to the Mathematical Theory of Evolution" or "Mathematical Contributions. . ." was used as the general title of 17 memoirs, numbered II through XIX, published in the Philosophical Transactions or as Drapers? Company Research Memoirs, and of 8 unnumbered papers published in the Proceedings of he Royal Society "Mathematical" became and remained the initial word from III(1896)on.

Proc. roy. Soc., 54. (1893) - London, Harrison and Sons, 1893, 8°, VII, 489, 25 pp., 4 Taf., Leinenband der Zeit; St.a.Tit. First annoucement of the "Mathematical Theory of Evolution", communicated by Prof. Henrici, F.R.S., Oct. 18, 1893" for Pearson. Karl Pearson FRS (1857-1936) established the discipline of mathematical statistics. Through Weldon and Galton's book, Pearson became interested in developing mathematical methods for studying the processes of heredity and evolution. From 1893 to 1912 he wrote 18 papers entitled Mathematical Contributions to the Theory of Evolution which contain his most valuable work. These papers contain contributions to regression analysis, the correlation coefficient and includes the chi-square test of statistical significance (1900). His chi-square test was produced in an attempt to remove the normal distribution from its central position.

All clean and fine. First appearance of the founding papers of modern mathematical statistics, out of which grew Pearson's creation of Biometrics."Founder of biometrics, Karl Pearson was one of the principal architects of the modern mathematical statistics. He was a polymath whose interests ranges from astronomy, mechanics, meteorology and physics, to biological sciences in particular, including.eugenics, evolotionary biology,heredity.Largly owing to his interests in evolutionary biology, Person created, almost single-handedly, the modern theory of statistics in his Biometric School at University College London. In his creation of biometrics, out of which the discipline of mathematical statistics had develoiped by the end of the nineteenth century, Person introduced a new vernacular for statistics (including such termss as the standard deviation, mode, homoscedasticity, heteroscedasticity, kurtosis and the producct-moment correlation coefficient." (Heyde in Statisticians of the Centuries).In the first paper offered here Person introduced the method of moments as a mean curve fitting assymetrical distributions ("point-binominals") and he applies the theory to crabs and prawns. This is a general method for determining the values of the parameters of a frequency distribution.In the second paper offered here, Pearson develpoed the general formula to use for subsets of six types of frequency curves, now known as "Pearson Type Curves".In his seminal paper "Regressin, Heredity and Panmixia", the third papers offered here, Pearson introduced matrix algebra into statistical theory and also introducing 'eta' as a measure for curvilinear relationship, the standard error of an estimate, multiple regression and multiple and partial correlation, and devises the coefficient of variation as a measure of the ratio of a standard deviation to the corresponding mean expressed as a percentage.In the fourth paper he deals with the theory of probable erros and of correlations of errors.In the fifth paper he deals with the theory as involving multiple correlations.stature in biology is shown to be best reconstructed from measurements of long bones.The last paper offered deals with a variety of biological correlations, inheritance of characters etc. etc.G.M.
