The Advanced Theory of Statistics

THIS very handsomely produced volume is one which it will be a pleasure to any mathematical statistician to possess. Mr. Kendall is indeed to be congratulated on the energy and, unswerving perseverance needed to complete his heavy task, and encouraged in the still unflagging energy which will be needed for the second volume. So far as he has carried, his work, he has certainly done something to sustain the credit of Great Britain in mathematical scholarship.The Advanced Theory of StatisticsBy Maurice G. Kendall. Vol. 1.
