How I Voted
By John Hubbuch
In order to avoid long early voter lines, I just voted at the Oak Park Conservatory. There were only 5 in line. I went with the old paper ballot. I like connecting the arrows. I voted for Barack because I think he's a cool guy, and I can tell my grandchildren that I voted for the first African-African president who was a Muslim Socialist.I can also argue that I am not a racist, which is good. Plus Romney reminds me of Judge Smails from Caddy Shack. What a tool.
I wanted to voted against all the Democrat candidates for state and county offices, but most of them ran unopposed, which might be part of the problem. Duh. Plus I don't want to encourage these hackers. I went with the Green Party candidates for Water Reclamation. Seems kind of obvious.
I forgot my list of "bad" judges, so I voted "No" on all of them. My apologies to the good ones if there were any. Maybe they should be appointed. I must admit I felt kind of like Danton or Robespiere going all anarchial on the judicial system.
I voted "Yes" on being informed about fracking whatever it is. And "No" on changing the Illinois Constitution . If the pols are for amending, I'm against it.
All in all I had a pretty good time considering that my vote this morning was utterly meaningless.

You voted for Obama because he is "cool." Be sure to remind your kids of that when they are arrested rioting in the streets a la a Greece when the bills come due from the party the "cool guy" kept going at their expense. Can you say QE4?

I do the same when voting for judges :)

Aurora's Gerald 'Bud' Switzer is a star.
Mr. Switzer, 83, placed third at Chartwell's national Senior Star final at the Scotiabank Convention Centre in Niagara Falls Monday.
He brought tears to the eyes of several people in the audience with his performance of Some Enchanted Evening from the musical South Pacific.
"I got an awful lot of compliments," Mr. Switzer said. "It was a real honour; quite a thrill. You concentrate on what you're doing. You're not even aware of the audience. I tried to put feeling into the performance and it went really well."
Ten finalists competed for the top prize in front of about 900 people.
It was quite an accomplishment to advance so far in the competition, considering about 2,000 seniors tried out across Canada, Mr. Switzer said.
"The whole week was just great," he said. "The people competing were all very skilled and the top people in their areas."
Now in its sixth year, Senior Star has given thousands of seniors a chance to showcase their skills.
Every year, organizers are astounded by the talent and the quality of each participant's performance, but even more impressed by the courage and passion they possess on stage, Chartwell president and CEO Brent Binions said in a release. "This event convinces us we must continue to honour and celebrate senior talent across Canada."
Mr. Switzer has only been performing publicly since 2006, when he joined a choir.
Since then, he has entered the Senior Star competition each year.
Last year, he won the right to go to the national final, but, unfortunately, was hospitalized with spinal stenosis, Mr. Switzer said.
"I was in bed for nine weeks. I fell to pieces because I missed it."
Granby, Quebec's Lucile Graveline, 72, won this year's competition.
Stouffville's Lloyd Knight placed second.
Chartwell owns and operates seniors housing communities across North America.

Rossiter's Harley and Manatee River are owned by same guy - Eric Rossiter. Neither dealership is people friendly. GM at Rossiter's is a big mouthed daughter and GM at Manatee is a big mouthed friend. Neither person is qualified to be a GM, or trained for it. When you go to either place, they act like you are interrupting their day. The garages turn out pretty shotty work and cut a lot of corners. Totalled motorcycles are put back together and sold with disclosing to the customers. No lie. Think twice before you go to either of these places. You will be ripped off, your bike will get scratched and you will be taken advantage of. Don't say that you haven't been warned.

It's not uncommon for tech CEOs to support their employees during San Francisco's annual Pride Celebration and Parade. Last year, Mark Zuckerberg was at the event.
The event was this weekend. Uber supported the LGBT community by running a promotion that made it easy to get married. Apple CEO Tim Cook was also seen sporting a Pride shirt with his employees. Here's a photo of Cook from the event (below), posted on Twitter by Apple employee Mark Bober.
Tim Cook has never spoken publicly about his sexuality, although it was an awkwardly debated topic of conversation on CNBC last week.

New Jersey Devils Should Have Started Martin Brodeur Against Edmonton Oilers
Cory Schneider has started the last four games in a row for the New Jersey Devils, and the team has won one of those games. Although you cannot blame Schneider for all of those losses, it is eye opening to see that he has been in net for that many losses. The worst part about this is three of those games saw the Devils lose their lead in the last three games in the final two minutes of the game.
Martin Brodeur has not started a game since he was pulled from the Stadium Series game back on Jan. 26. I understand why you don't put Brodeur out there right away, but at this point, he has had plenty of time to get over what happened. The Devils have had trouble scoring all season, but seem to have a chance when Brodeur is in net. There is no real rhyme or reason for it, but numbers are numbers.
Another reason to start Brodeur is that he would love to get redemption on one of his worst games of the season. After shutting out the Edmonton Oilers over the first two periods, he allowed them to score four goals in less than eight minutes to take the lead. Brodeur would love to redeem himself from that terrible performance.
It seems really perplexing how coach Peter DeBoer has dealt with Brodeur all season. At some times, he is clearly the starter, while at other times, it seems like he has no chance to start. Both players have commented about how the season is going, goalie wise, and neither seems very happy about it.
He chose to go with Schneider to start this game, as he seems to be committed to him for the rest of the season. I understand he is trying to do this so he can get him to re-sign in the offseason, but don't always sit Brodeur in what could be his last season with the franchise even though he hasn't been terrible (outside of his last game).
Schneider needs a rest after the complete heartbreak he has felt in the last three contests. Brodeur needs a chance to turn it around after a debacle on national television. How Schneider was named the starter is a little perplexing.

NFL, Referees Union Agree to Collective Bargaining Agreement, Ending Lockout
The NFL and the NFL Referees Association have agreed to a collective bargaining agreement, ending a three week lockout.
After a series of blown calls and outrage from fans, players, coaches and even politicians, the league and the NFLRA worked late into Wednesday night to hammer home a basic deal, which will be finalized on Thursday.
"Our officials will be back on the field starting tomorrow night," NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement released with the NFLRA. "We appreciate the commitment of the NFLRA in working through the issues to reach this important agreement."

"Our Board of Directors has unanimously approved taking this proposed CBA to the membership for a ratification vote," the union's president, Scott Green, added in joint statement. "We are glad to be getting back on the field for this week's games."
The union wanted improved salaries, retirement benefits and other logistical issues for the mostly part-time referees. The NFL has proposed a pension freeze and a higher 401(k) match.
"Until somebody tells me differently, it's not really changed," Arizona coach Ken Whisenhunt said.
Talks resumed Wednesday morning and continued at league headquarters in New York past 11 p.m., EDT. The sides also held a marathon session Tuesday with Goodell present. He also attended four meetings last week.
STORY: NFL Replacement Referee Debate Sparks Player, Celebrity Outrage
"We want to go back to work but it has to be the right deal for 121 guys," NFL field judge Boris Cheek said. "We have to be patient and let this work itself out."
Some coaches, including Miami's Joe Philbin and Cincinnati's Marvin Lewis, instructed players not to speak publicly on the issue, especially after a barrage of comments that accompanied Monday night's Green Bay-Seattle game, which the Packers lost 14-12 on a missed call.
Fines against two coaches for incidents involving the replacements were handed out Wednesday.
New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick was docked $50,000 for trying to grab an official's arm Sunday to ask for an explanation of a call after his team lost at Baltimore Sunday. And Washington assistant Kyle Shanahan was tagged for $25,000 for what the league called "abuse of officials" in the Redskins' loss to Cincinnati on Sunday.
Two other coaches, Denver's John Fox and assistant Jack Del Rio, were fined Monday for incidents involving the replacements.
"I accept the discipline and I apologize for the incident," Belichick said.
But many players indicated the replacement-ref issues were too significant to ignore.
"Would you let a Toyota dealership work on your brand new Rolls-Royce? That doesn't work right, does it," Dallas safety Gerald Sensabaugh said. "Our brand is so big, it's so important to a lot of people. There's no way you can have guys that don't have experience at that level."
The replacement officials previously worked mostly in lower-division college ranks, such as Division III, and in minor professional organizations like the Arena League.
"I hate to say it," Carolina's Steve Smith said, "but if you are going to have these refs in a Super Bowl it's going to cost somebody a game.
"I'll probably get in trouble for this, but you have to have competent people," he said. "And if you're incompetent, get them out of there."
Rams quarterback Sam Bradford didn't mince words about the regular refs — "We need them back."
"I hope it happens soon," he said. "I just don't think it's fair to the fans, I don't think it's fair to us as players to go out there and have to deal with that week in and week out. I really hope that they're as close as they say they are."
Despite several field fiascos — like Dallas' Kevin Ogletree getting tripped in the end zone by an official's thrown cap — not everyone is necessarily pointing fingers at the replacements.
"Maybe we shouldn't be blaming the refs, but blaming the league, the owners, I don't know who it is," Pittsburgh quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said. "Maybe it's not just the officials. We're putting them in tough situations and it can't be easy."
Even Cheek, the NFL field judge, said the replacement refs are in a difficult position — though he noted the end-of-game call in Seattle, at least in his in eyes, should have been easy to get right.
"It's like expecting a high schooler to keep pace with Ray Lewis," Vikings punter Chris Kluwe said. "It's not fair to expect them to do that. I think you saw that through no real fault or lack of effort, they were just put in a position where they couldn't really succeed."
Even if a deal is at hand, it was still uncertain how it would affect the weekend's games. Week 4 opens Thursday night with the Cleveland Browns at the Ravens.
Titans coach Mike Munchak said he thought it might take a while before things return to normal, even with the regular refs.
"It's going to be hard for officials to come back since not doing a game since last December, a lot of them, and all of a sudden they're doing a game. I think it's going to be a tough transition either way. You want things to get settled. You want the best people to be out there, the guys who've been doing it a lot of years."
Bills coach Chan Gailey had a simple solution for all the recent angst.
"The biggest thing, if you get a big enough lead, it won't come down to a call," he said. "Go get big leads and it won't be an issue."

A First Course in Statistics
by D. Caradog Jones
Fifty years ago a large section of the general public were not only uninterested in what we now call the social problem, but they scarcely gave a thought to the existence of such a problem. They felt vaguely perhaps, during periods of acute distress due to lack of employment, that all was not well and they thought the Government or possibly the big landowner was to blame, but only the more enlightened realized the complexity of the body poHtic and how fearfully and wonderfully it is made. To-day all this is changed, and comparatively few imagine that a single panacea the prohibition of drink, the nationalization of land, or a levy on capital will cure all evils. The very fact that nearly the whole civilized world has given itself up for over four years to the destruction of life and the dragging down of the social fabric in all countries on so vast a scale has led to a surfeit and a reaction in which thoughtful men are eager to take part in proclaiming again a common brotherhood and in building a better world. Those who have always been interested in this kind of architecture welcome the change of spirit, but they also recognize the difficulty of the task undertaken and the need for no little mental effort to second the good-will, which is the jQrst essential for success. To pull down no teacher is needed, but we must learn to build. This leads one to the subject of the present book. The man who wishes his work to stand must make sure of its foundations. He cannot afford to rest satisfied, as too often the poUtician and social worker do, with wild and ill-informed generalizations where more exact knowledge is possible, and there are few human problems in the discussion of which some acquaintance with the proper treatment of statistics is not in the highest degree necessary.

An Essay on Probabilities, and on Their Application to Life Contingencies and Insurance Offices
by Augustus de Morgan
Treatise, it will be necessary to give a brief account of the science on which it treats. At the end of the seventeenth century, the theory of probabilities was contained in a few isolated problems, which had been solved by Pascal, Huyghens, James Bernoulli, and others. They consisted of questions relating to the chances of different kinds of play, beyond which it was then impossible to proceed: for the difficulty of a question of chances depending almost entirely upon the number of combinations which may arise, the actual and exact calculation of a result becomes exceedingly laborious when the possible cases are numerous. A handful of dice, or even a single pack of cards, may have its combinations exhausted by a moderate degree of industry: but when a question involves the chances of a thousand dice, or a thousand throws with one die, though its correct principle of solution would have been as clear to a mathematician of the sixteenth century as if only half a dozen throws had been considered; yet the largeness of the numbers, and the Un probleme relatif aux jeux de hasard, propose un austere janseniste par un homme du monde, a ete 1 origine du calcul des probabilites.

Essays on Probability and Statistics
by Not Available
Survey articles and lectures usually receive scanty attention from reviewers and abstracters, being dismissed as expository, or even without comment at all. Yet among the welter of new research contributions much represents temporary and even useless activity, which a little more general reflection might have avoided. Moreover, there is not often much opportunity to indicate one's general philosophy and outlook in research papers. I have consequently risked collecting together the present set of lectures, given by invitation since the last war in various places, in the hope that out of an apparently somewhat miscellaneous bag a unity and coherence of statistical theory, wherever applied, will emerge.

Many of these lectures have already been published in journals, and I am most grateful to the Editors and publishers in such instances for permission to reprint. As a rule (any exceptions to which are noted; for example, one or two added footnotes are put within square brackets) no alteration to the published draft has been made, for I believe that these articles stand the test of time reasonably well and while there is certainly nothing sacrosanct about the actual texts it is best to reproduce them in their original form. The reader is, however, requested to bear in mind their dates of publication. The set is not exhaustive; for example, my paper on 'The statistical approach to time-series', given at the Symposium on Information Theory in London in 1950, has been omitted because much of the material in it was in 1953 incorporated in my book on Stochastic Processes.
An Introduction to Statistical Methods
A Textbook for College Students, A Manual for Statisticians and Business Executives
by Horace Secrist
The following chapters are an attempt to work out an introductory, but at the same time a comprehensive, text on statistical methods for the use of college students and students in colleges of business administration. They are also intended to supply the need for a fundamental treatment of the methods of statistical investigation and interpretation. Statistical methods are regarded as means rather than as ends, as constituting simply one phase of general methodology, and as including not only methods of analyzing but also of collecting and assembling statistical data. The methods discussed are of general application although the illustrations, for the most part, are drawn from economic and business fields.

The order of treatment is the same as that followed in the planning and analysis of a statistical problem, and it is hoped that statisticians, business executives, and students of statistical methods generally will find the volume not only a compendium of statistical procedure but also a guide in the process of logical statistical analysis. Emphasis is given to the necessity of a clear formulation of the problem in mind, to the meaning, collecting, and assembling of data, and to the necessity of a rigid interpretation and use of units of measurements. All of these steps are held to be preliminary but indispensable to the formulation of a statistical judgment, and to the employment of the refinements of mathematical analysis which alone are too generally associated with "statistical methods."
Statistical Averages
A Methodological Study
by Franz Zizek
I have long felt the want of a general methodological work to be used as the basis of a college course in statistics. Die statistischen Mittelwerte, by Dr. Franz Zizek, seemed to me to meet the requirements of a non-mathematical text-book on statistics better than any work available in English and, consequently, this English translation was undertaken.

Statistical Averages, when used as a text-book, should, of course, be supplemented by lectures, assigned readings, and statistical problems. Lectures and assigned readings should cover such topics as the history of statistics, the organization and work of labor and census bureaus, the preparation of schedules, the accuracy obtainable in statistics, the construction and use of diagrams and maps, and the mathematical methods of computing the standard deviation and the coefficient of correlation. Numerous problems should be assigned so that the students may become familiar with frequency tables, graphic representation, the methods of computing the important index numbers (such as the Labor Bureau index numbers of wages and prices and the Economist index number of prices), the standard deviation, correlation tables, the coefficient of correlation, and the like. By the assignment of problems the students will become familiar with the sources of statistical data and with the facts of statistics as well as with the methods of statistics.
Primer of Statistics
by W. Palin Elderton
Wb wish to express our thanks to Sir Francis Galton for the original suggestion of this primer and for much kind help and interest throughout its preparation; to Professor Earl Pearson for suggestions and advice on many points; and to Mr. C.A. Sutton for reading the manuscript from the lay point of view. Wp. E.E. M.B.
The Probability That a Numerical, Analysis Problem Is Difficult
by James W. Demmel
Numerous problems in numerical analysis, including matrix inversion, eigenvalue calculations and polynomial zero finding, share the following property: the difficulty of solving a given problem is large when the distance from that problem to the nearest "ill-posed" one is small. For example, the closer a matrix is to the set of noninvertible matrices, the larger its condition number with respect to inversion. We show that the sets of ill-posed problems for matrix inversion, eigenproblems, and polynomial zero finding all have a common algebraic and geometric structure which lets us compute the probability distribution of the distance from a "random" problem to the set. From this probability distribution we derive, for example, the distribution of the condition number of a random matrix. We examine the relevance of this theory to the analysis and construction of numerical algorithms destined to be run in finite precision arithmetic.

To investigate the probability that a numerical analysis problem is difficult, we need to do three things:
1) Choose a measure of difficulty,
2) Choose a probability distribution on the set of problems,
3) Compute the distribution of the measure of difficulty induced by the distribution on the set of problems.

The measure of difficulty we shall use in this paper is the condition number, which measures the sensitivity of the solution to small changes in the problem. For the problems we consider in this paper (matrix inversion, polynomial zero finding and eigenvalue calculation), there are well known condition numbers in the literature of which we shall use slightly modified versions to be discussed more fully later. The condition number is an appropriate measure of difficulty because it can be used to measure the expected loss of accuracy in the computed solution, or even the number of iterations required for an iterative algorithm to converge to a solution.

The probability distribution on the set of problems for which we will attain most of our results will be the "uniform distribution" which we define as follows.

The Study of Statistics in Colleges
by Carroll Davidson Wright
America has no counterpart to the continental school of statisticians, whose members have entered their particular field of science after special training by a systematic course of instruction. We have our statisticians, to be sure, but they have taken up their work accidentally, and not as a profession. Men engaged in the practice of law or of medicine, or in the other learned professions, enter them only after careful preparation. Our government trains its soldiers and sailors; our colleges and higher institutions of learning fit men for various special scientific and professional labors, but we have not yet reached the advanced stage of educational work in this country which comprehends administration in its broadest terms. The European has an advantage over those engaged in statistical work in this country. Many of the leading colleges and universities of the continent make special effort to fit men to adopt statistical science as a branch of administration, or as a profession.

Korosi, Neumann-Spallart, Ernst Engel, Block, Bohmert, Mayr, Levasseur, and their score or more of peers, may well excite our envy, but more deeply stimulate the regret that one of their number, from his brilliant training and his scientific attainments, can not present to you today the necessity of copying into the curricula of our American colleges the statistical features of the foreign school.
Texas Mathematics Teachers Bulletin, 1938
by Texas
Vol. 22
The University publishes bulletins four times a month, so numbered that the first two digits of the number show the year of issue and the last two the position in the yearly series. (For example, No. 3801 is the first publication of the year 1938.) These bulletins comprise the official publications of the University, publications on humanistic and scientific subjects, and bulletins issued from time to time by various divisions of the University. The following bureaus and divisions distribute publications issued by them; communications concerning publications in these fields should be addressed to The University of Texas, Austin, Texas, care of the bureau or division issuing the publication: Bureau of Business Research, Bureau of Economic Geology, Bureau of Engineering Research, Bureau of Industrial Chemistry, Bureau of Public School Extracurricular Activities, and Division of Extension. Communications concerning all other publications of the University should be addressed to University Publications, The University of Texas, Austin.
On a Novel Method of Regarding the Association of Two Variates Classed Solely in Alternate Categories
by Karl Pearson
Mr G. U. Yule in his recent Introduction to the Theory of Statistics, p. 66, suggests that the coefficient of contingency should not be used when m is less than 5 or so. But such advice could only result from wholly overlooking the essential nature of a contingency coefficient. The true position is that it is not comparable with a coefficient of correlation for like tables assumed to be Gaussian unless we use a 5 x 5 or finer classification. It actually measures the probability that the observed results arise from independent material, whatever be the classification.

Such a coefficient as Mr Yule's coefficient of association seems to me absolutely misleading on this very account, because it gives such tables a complete association of the variates, or a unity value for their coefficient. But the very essence of any theory of contingency or association is to proceed from purely logical grounds and avoid any assumption that our distribution is quantitative much less that it is Gaussian. Hence when the coefficient of contingency gives for a fourfold table with only entries in the diagonal cells •707 and for a 10 x 10 fold table with only entries in the diagonal cells •949, while a Yule association coefficient gives 1•0 in both cases, this is not as Mr Yule seems to argue a disadvantage of the contingency method, but one of its chief merits. It indicates how we pass to closer and closer relationship as we classify more finely, and any coefficient which neglects this essential is to that extent, I hold, defective.

The Mathematical Theory of Probabilities
And Its Application to Frequency Curves and Statistical Methods
by Arne Fisher
Vol. 1
Mr. Fisher has requested that an introduction be written to this, the second edition of his work on probabilities, which shall indicate some of the practical applications of the mathematical theory with which his treatise deals. The writer has only a limited knowledge of mathematical technique yet it has so happened that in twenty-five years of active work as engineer, statistician and executive he has had frequent occasion to call upon the skill of trained mathematicians for the solution of practical problems involving frequency curves and pi-obal)ilities. Among such mathematicians none has been more helpful, or quicker to perceive the possibility of making valuable applications of higher mathematics to business problems, than Ir. Fisher himself. For this reason it is a duty as well as a privilege to outline, at his request, certain actual practical experiences with mathematical applications and to indicate such possible applications for the future. The writers initial experience with frequency curves and probabilities was in the j-ears 1902 and 1903, when it became evident, in analyzing various problems in telephone traffic, that certain peak loads, which were superimposed upon the normal seasonal, weekly, and daily fluctuations, could be accounted for only by the laws of chance. Recourse was, therefore, had to the formulie then available for approximate summations of the terms of the binomial expansion, and from these a series of curves was drawn which indicated for an given normal hourly traffic (as indicated by studies of seasonal, weekly, and daily variations) the probability that any given short period load would be equalled or exceeded. Practical experience with these curves soon showed that, in spite of minor errors, they were close enough to the real facts to make them of primary importance in traffic studies of all kinds, and particularly in the development of mechanical switching devices. Their use for such purposes has now become a conmionplace in telephone engineering. As a by-product of the preceding application there have been other interesting uses of the same probability curves.

Introduction to Mathematical Statistics
by Carl Joseph West
It is the aim of this book to present certain topics of elementary statistical theory which have been found useful and workable.

The statement would seem warranted that no more than the very simplest methods should be used by one who has no knowledge of the principles underlying the methods. Busy though the scientist may be, he owes it to the science and to the persons who may accept his results to have some familiarity with his tools. The blind application of formulas in statistics has been made possible by the convenient manuals that have appeared and has been encouraged by the fact that the theory has been so surrounded by intricate and involved mathematics that it was only by an extended research that a knowledge of the theory could be obtained.

There is no real reason why the theory of statistical methods should remain in obscurity. The necessary mathematics is largely elementary arithmetic and except in a few cases there is no need for higher mathematics. This book presupposes a reasonable familiarity with elementary mathematics only.

Because of the desire to eliminate higher mathematics from the body of the book the discussion of the theory of the Generalized Frequency Curves of Pearson has been deferred to Appendix I. For the same reason a discussion of the promising method of variate differences is omitted, as is the mathematical theory of random selection.

While it is hoped that the statistical data of this book may be of interest in themselves they have been selected solely with reference to their usefulness in illustrating the theory. For this reason all examples and exercises have to do with very simple data. The author will appreciate notice of such numerical and other inaccuracies as may be found.
Introduction to Economic Statistics
by George R. Davies
The application of statistical methods to special fields such as demography, education, and economics has in recent years advanced very rapidly. As a result a study of statistical principles must be confined chiefly to one of the special fields if it is not to be lost in the multiplicity of specific methods and illustrations. This text-book has been written with the interests of the student of economics in mind.

A common difficulty which the teacher of statistics encounters is a lack of provision for laboratory work. An attempt has here been made to supply this need by furnishing illustrative problems, graphs, and data which may be worked over by the student, and by adding to each chapter a list of related exercises. The exercises will be found extensive enough so that the teacher may select those which are adapted to his requirements. The longer problems should be subdivided, and the parts assigned to different members of the class. Both the tables and the exercises may very well be supplemented by the use of data drawn from such sources as the Survey of Current Business, the Monthly Labor Review, and the Statistical Abstract of the United States (Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C). The topics covered in the text represent probably a maximum of what can be mastered by a college class in a term.
A History of the Mathematical Theory of Probability
by I. Todhunter
De Moivre's Doctrine of Chances formed a treatise on the subject, full, clear and accurate; and it maintained its place as a standard work, at least in England, almost down to our own day.

The tenth Chapter gives an account of some miscellaneous investigations between the years 1700 and 1750. These investigations are due to Nicolas Bernoulli, Arbuthnot, Browne, Mairan, Nicole, Buffon, Ham, Thomas Simpson and John Bernoulli.

The eleventh Chapter relates to Daniel Bernoulli, containing an account of a series of memoirs published chiefly in the volumes of the Academy of Petersburg; the memoirs are remarkable for boldness and originality, the first of them contains the celebrated theory of Moral Expectation.

The twelfth Chapter relates to Euler; it gives an account of his memoirs, which relate principally to certain games of chance.

The thirteenth Chapter relates to D'Alembert; it gives a full account of the objections which ho urged against some of the fundamental principles of the subject, and of his controversy with Daniel Bernoulli on the mathematical investigation of the gain to human life which would arise from the extirpation of one of the most fatal diseases to which the human race is liable.

The fourteenth Chapter relates to Bayes; it explains the method by which he demonstrated his famous theorem, which may be said to have been the origin of that part of the subject which relates to the probabilities of causes as inferred from observed effects.

The fifteenth Chapter is devoted to Lagrange; he contributed to the subject a valuable memoir on the theory of the errors of observations, and demonstrations of the results enunciated by De Moivre respecting the Duration of Play.

The sixteenth Chapter contains notices of miscellaneous investigations between the years 1750 and 1780. This Chapter brings before us Kaostner, Clark, Mallet, John Bernoulli, Beguelin, Micholl, Lambert, Buffon, Fuss, and some others. The memoir of Micholl is remarkable; it contains the famous argument for the existence of design drawn from the fact of the closeness of certain stars, like the Pleiades.

The seventeenth Chapter relates to Cordorcet, who published a large book and a long memoir upon the Theory of Probability.
Frequency-Curves and Correlation
by William Palin Elderton
The main object of the present Volume may be regarded as being to give a detailed description of the basis and practical application of those modern statistical methods that are associated with the name of Professor Karl Pearson.

The history of the work is briefly as follows: - In January, 1903, Mr. W. Palin Elderton read before the Institute of Actuaries an interesting paper dealing with the application of the Pearsonian frequency-curves to the graduation of a mortality experience, and it was then felt that the discussion of that paper suffered considerably from the fact that Professor Pearson's methods, which had attracted so much attention in purely statistical circles, were comparatively unfamiliar to the actuarial profession.

It was therefore suggested by more than one member of the Council that it would be exceedingly useful to the profession if Mr. Elderton would contribute to the Journal of the Institute "an explanatory paper dealing with frequency curves, and giving illustrations of their use" based upon actuarial data. To this invitation Mr. Elderton replied in the most public-spirited manner by preparing a lengthy paper which forms the nucleus of the present volume.
A First Study of the Statistics of Pulmonary Tuberculosis
by Karl Pearson
Approaching pathological inheritance from the modern statistical standpoint it is almost heartrending to notice the great amount of effort and energy wasted in the collection of data bearing on the inheritance of disease. We want to know whether the tendency to disease may be assumed to be inherited at the same rate as other physical and mental characters in the organism. If this can be shown to be reasonable, the hereditary factor can be at once assigned its due influence and position. But the data by which this preliminary inquiry can be satisfactorily answered are wholly wanting. We are told, for example, that a "family history" of tuberculosis or of cancer exists in such and such a percentage of cases, and this information is extended even to the differences of such percentages for cancer in various parts of the organism. But in 99 cases out of the 100, while a brother or a sister, an uncle or an aunt will be recorded as having cancer, no record whatever is made of the total number of brothers and sisters, or of uncles and aunts of the sufferer. No record of family history is of the least value unless the absolute number of collaterals, and their ages living or at death are taken. The like remark applies to tubercle; the same statement "no family history" is often recorded in the two cases when the mother died in childbed at twenty-five, and when she lived to a post-tuberculous age, or when no aunt or uncle existed and when none out of thirteen suffered from the disease. Luckily there has recently been an awakening in the medical profession with regard to this matter. Starting with complete family pedigrees in the case of rare diseases, certain physicians of distinction have introduced the custom of taking a complete family history; careful inquiries are made with regard to every ascendant and collateral that is known to have existed, and in each case it is clearly stated whether the individual was normal, abnormal or no information available. Such pedigrees often mean a very large expenditure of labour, but their ultimate value to medical science, and especially to national eugenics, is incontestable. From special and rare diseases the formation of such pedigrees is spreading and must spread to the discussion of inheritance in cases of carcinoma, pulmonary tuberculosis and the various forms of insanity.

Quite recently the Biometric Laboratory at University College has had placed at its disposal series - in each case amounting to several hundred - of such family histories in the particular cases of pulmonary tuberculosis, insanity and mental. deficiency.

The present paper deals with a first series of this kind embracing 384 stocks in which cases of pulmonary tuberculosis have occurred.
A Treatise on Probability
by John Maynard Keynes
The subject matter of this book was first broached in the brain of Leibniz, who, in the dissertation, written in his twenty-third year, on the mode of electing the kings of Poland, conceived of Probability as a branch of Logic. A few years before, "un probleme," in the words of Poisson, "propos a un austere janseniste par un homme du monde, a eté Forigine du calcul des probabilites." In the intervening centuries the algebraical exercises, in which the Chevalier de la Mere interested Pascal, have so far predominated in the learned world over the profounder enquiries of the philosopher into those processes of human faculty which, by determining reasonable preference, guide our choice, that Probability is oftener reckoned with Mathematics than with Logic. There is much here, therefore, which is novel, and, being novel, unsifted, inaccurate, or deficient. I propound my systematic conception of this subject for criticism and enlargement at the hand of others, doubtful whether I myself am likely to get much further, by waiting longer, with a work, which, beginning as a Fellowship Dissertation, and interrupted by the war. has already extended over many years.

Fifty years ago a large section of the general public were not only uninterested in what we now call the social problem, but they scarcely gave a thought to the existence of such a problem. They felt vaguely perhaps, during periods of acute distress due to lack of employment, that all was not well and they thought the Government or possibly the big landowner was to blame, but only the more enlightened realized the complexity of the body politic and how fearfully and wonderfully it is made. To-day all this is changed, and comparatively few imagine that a single panacea - the prohibition of drink, the nationalization of land, or a levy on capital will cure all evils.

The very fact that nearly the whole civilized world has given itself up for over four years to the destruction of life and the dragging down of the social fabric in all countries on so vast a scale has led to a surfeit and a reaction in which thoughtful men are eager to take part in proclaiming again a common brotherhood and in building a better world. Those who have always been interested in this kind of architecture welcome the change of spirit, but they also recognize the difficulty of the task undertaken and the need for no little mental effort to second the good-will, which is the first essential for success. To pull down no teacher is needed, but we must learn to build.

This leads one to the subject of the present book. The man who wishes his work to stand must make sure of its foundations. He cannot afford to rest satisfied, as too often the politician and social worker do, with wild and ill-informed generalizations where more exact knowledge is possible, and there are few human problems in the discussion of which some acquaintance with the proper treatment of statistics is not in the highest degree necessary.
by William B. Bailey
The value of a knowledge of statistics grows every day in the fields of business, government and social work. Most of the books devoted to its acquirement are either intricate or too ex tended. This book has been written with the purpose of avoiding these difficulties. Professor Bailey has had especially before him the needs of social workers for a simple book in the statistical field and with the helpful suggestions of Dr. John Cummings of the United States Department of Commerce presents a useful book that will fill the statistical gap in the National Social Science Series to the satisfaction of its readers.
The Mathematical Theory of Probabilities and Its Application to Frequency Curves and Statistical Methods
by Arne Fisher
Vol. 1
I feel it a great honor to have been asked by my friend and colleague, Mr. Arne Fisher, of the Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States, to write an introductory note to what appears to me the finest book as yet compiled in the English language on the subject of which it treats. As an Examiner myself in Statistical Method for a British Colonial Government, it has been to me a heart-breaking experience, when implored by intending candidates for examination to recommend a text-book dealing with Mr. Fisher's subject matter, that it has heretofore been impossible for me to recommend one in the English language which covers the whole of the ground. Until comparatively recent years the case was even worse. While in French, in Italian, in German, in Danish, and in Dutch, scientific works on statistics were available galore, the dearth of such literature in the English language was little short of a national or racial scandal. With such works as those of Yule and Bowley, in recent years, there has been some possibility for the English-speaking student to acquire part of the knowledge needed. But it is hardly necessary to point out what a very large amount of new ground is covered by Mr. Fisher's new book as compared with such works as I have referred to.

Despite my professional connection with statistical and actuarial work of a technical character my own personal interest in Mr. Fisher's book is concentrated principally on the metaphysical basis of the Probability-theory, and it is with regard to this aspect of the subject alone that I feel qualified to comment on his achievement.
Elements of Statistics
by Arthur Lyon Bowley
This book is based on lectures given at the London School of Economics and Political Science in the five years following its foundation in 1895. There seems to be no text-book in English dealing directly and completely with the common methods of statistics. English writings on the various branches of the science are for the most part in the form of articles in the journals of learned societies. Professor Mayo Smith in his Statistics and Sociology proceeds almost at once to historical applications; while in Professor Meitzen's Geschichte, Theorie, und Tecknik der Statistik, issued in English by the American Academy of Political and Social Science, so much space is devoted to the history of the development of statistics, and the book is so slight, in comparison with the wide field it covers, that many elementary methods are treated very cursorily.

Parodying anti-Yasiel Puig hysteria is impossible
Oct 16, 2013, 8:13 AM EDT
One of these takes on Yasiel Puig is from a legitimately outraged columnist. The other is a parody of an outraged columnist. Don't hover over or click the links until you've guessed which is which.
Call me old-school and old-fashioned. Call me too conservative. Tell me to "get with the times." Whatever. The bottom line is that you don't show up the opposing pitcher and you don't "pimp out" a home run. It's disrespectful and it's a bad look, and anybody who has ever played the game at a high level knows that those "unwritten rules" we hear so much about actually have merit and are worth something … Just stop with the excuses, people. He lived in Cuba all of his life and is just having fun playing in America! That's my favorite excuse. The last I checked, he can still have plenty of fun, be a celebrity, play baseball for millions of dollars and be loved by the masses without playing like a fool.
The Dodgers have been doing Mickey Mouse stuff all year long. They admit it, too. As Gonzalez explained his behavior, "I did what I always do, but we are in L.A., so Mickey Mouse is only an hour away."
I know there's no cheering in the press box. But can we make an exception for booing?
Remember: It was just a few short weeks ago the Dodgers made fools of themselves parading through Arizona's swimming pool to celebrate their playoff berth.
It made everyone look bad.
It was lewd. It was crude.
It was everything the Los Angeles Dodgers have stood for all year long … This team may have the most expensive roster in the league and all kinds of money to spare, but it can't buy baseball's respect. It can't buy my silence, either.
No one has to be a Yasiel Puig fan. But the degree to which some are offended by him is laughable in the extreme.
- coloradogolfcoupons - Oct 16, 2013 at 4:56 PM
It's Puig being Pig…love him or hate him, he gets people excited. 55,000 screaming DODGER FANS. I've been to that stadium many times and many times you could hear Scully on a radio three sections over. Laid back? More like laid back in a coffin sometimes. This kid will tone it down, he's about 16 on the maturity level right now but may, in 3-4 years, be the most sought after FA in history. Time will tell, but he is doing this with little pro experience or coaching and a strange culture. I don't think he is stupid. But he sees the way the Dodger fans embrace his style, and WHY would he even think about changing much? He is already an icon on the level of Fernando. When he learns to make pitchers throw strikes, he could very well turn into a Cuban Mickey Mantle, with healthy legs.
