摘要：Maximum likelihood estimators of the Poisson parameter applicable to both truncated and censored samples are derived in this paper. Singly and doubly truncated samples are considered. The estimators obtained are presented in simple algebraic forms and their application to practical problems with the aid of standard Poisson tables is illustrated with numerical examples. Asymptotic variances of estimates for the different cases considered are obtained from second derivatives of the likelihood fu...

摘要：When populations are cross-classified with respect to 2 or more classifications or polytomies, questions often arise about the degree of association existing between the several polytomies. Most of the traditional measures or indices of association are based upon the standard chi-square statistic or on an assumption of underlying joint normality. In this paper a number of alternative measures are considered, almost all based on a probabilistic model for activity to which the cross-classificati...

摘要：A method is developed for obtaining maximum likelihood estimates of points on a surface of unspecified algebraic form when ordinates of the points are required to satisfy a set of linear inequalities. A production function with one variable input is considered in some detail. In this case the restrictions follow from the assumption of non-increasing returns. An illustrative computation is worked out using a procedure based on equivalence between the estimation problem and a certain saddle prob...

摘要：To test whether a correlation between two variables is genuine or spurious, additional variables and equations must be introduced, and sufficient assumptions must be made to identify the parameters of this wider system. If the two original variables are causably related in the wider system, the correlation is genuine.

摘要：The Poisson process and exponential distribution are described and examples of their occurrence in practice are given. Methods are presented for constructing interval estimates of the parameters of the distributions, for making one-sided tests of hypothesis, and for computing confidence intervals for the ratio and the difference of such parameters. A method is also given for comparing three or more Poisson processes.

摘要：The author shows how these problems are generated naturally as a consequence of the following hypergeneral principles: (1) Different ends require different means and different logical structures. (2) In each area, statistical method must and does evolve, mainly by adding both immediate ends and considerations. (3) While techniques are important in experimental statistics, knowing when to use them and why to use them are more important. (4) In the long run, it does not pay a statistician to foo...

摘要：This bibliography covers a special field of statistics to which an increasing amount of journal space is being devoted. Very little of it appears in text book form. Almost 1000 papers are listed alphabetically by author and each is assigned to one or more major groupings within the field. Following this listing, papers are classified by authors within the groupings to facilitate reference to a particular topic such as goodness of fit or systematic statistics. Supplements to the bibliography wi...

摘要：This paper presents the text, but not the appendices, of the report of a committee appointed in 1950 by the Commission on Statistical Standards of the American Statistical Association. The purpose of the committee was to appraise the statistical methods used in Sexual Behavior in the Human Male by Kinsey, Pomeroy and Martin. A critical examination was made of interviewing techniques, methodological checks, sampling methods, methods of analysis, and accuracy and validity of interpretation. In a...
