On the Criterion that a Given System of Deviations from the Probable in the Case of a Correlated System of Variables is Such that it Can be Reasonably Supposed to have Arisen from Random Sampling
Let x1, x2 … x n be a system of deviations from the means of n variables with standard deviations σ1, σ2 … σ n and with correlations r12, r13, r23 … r n −1,n.

Contributions to the Mathematical Theory of Evolution
(1.) If measurements be made of the same part or organ in several hundred or thousand specimens of the same type or family, and a curve be constructed of which the abscissa x represents the size of… Expand

Contributions to the Mathematical Theory of Evolution. II. Skew Variation in Homogeneous Material
An asymmetrical frequency curve may arise from two quite distinct classes of causes. In the first place the material measured may be heterogeneous and may consist of, a mixture of two or more… Expand

Mathematical Contributions to the Theory of Evolution. III. Regression, Heredity, and Panmixia
There are few branches of the Theory of Evolution which appear to the mathematical statistician so much in need of exact treatment as those of Regression, Heredity, and Panmixia. Round the notion of… Expand

  • Proceedings of the Royal Society of London
(1) If the ratio of two absolute measurements on the same or different organs be taken it is convenient to term this ratio an index. If u = f1(x, y) and v = f2(x, y) be two functions of the three… Expand
