    School of Social Sciences Economics Division University of Southampton Southampton SO17 1BJ, UK Discussion Papers in Economics and Econometrics Mathematics in the Statistical Society 1883-1933 John Aldrich No. 0919 This paper is available on our website http://www.southampton.ac.uk/socsci/economics/research/papers ISSN 0966-4246 Mathematics in the Statistical Society 1883-1933* John Aldrich Economics Division School of Social Sciences University of Southampton Southampton SO17 1BJ UK e-mail: [email protected] Abstract This paper considers the place of mathematical methods based on probability in the work of the London (later Royal) Statistical Society in the half-century 1883-1933. The end-points are chosen because mathematical work started to appear regularly in 1883 and 1933 saw the formation of the Industrial and Agricultural Research Section– to promote these particular applications was to encourage mathematical methods. In the period three movements are distinguished, associated with major figures in the history of mathematical statistics–F. Y. Edgeworth, Karl Pearson and R. A. Fisher. The first two movements were based on the conviction that the use of mathematical methods could transform the way the Society did its traditional work in economic/social statistics while the third movement was associated with an enlargement in the scope of statistics. The study tries to synthesise research based on the Society’s archives with research on the wider history of statistics. Key names : Arthur Bowley, F. Y. Edgeworth, R. A. Fisher, Egon Pearson, Karl Pearson, Ernest Snow, John Wishart, G. Udny Yule. Keywords : History of Statistics, Royal Statistical Society, mathematical methods.
  • History of the Development of the ICD

    History of the Development of the ICD

    History of the development of the ICD 1. Early history Sir George Knibbs, the eminent Australian statistician, credited François Bossier de Lacroix (1706-1777), better known as Sauvages, with the first attempt to classify diseases systematically (10). Sauvages' comprehensive treatise was published under the title Nosologia methodica. A contemporary of Sauvages was the great methodologist Linnaeus (1707-1778), one of whose treatises was entitled Genera morborum. At the beginning of the 19th century, the classification of disease in most general use was one by William Cullen (1710-1790), of Edinburgh, which was published in 1785 under the title Synopsis nosologiae methodicae. For all practical purposes, however, the statistical study of disease began a century earlier with the work of John Graunt on the London Bills of Mortality. The kind of classification envisaged by this pioneer is exemplified by his attempt to estimate the proportion of liveborn children who died before reaching the age of six years, no records of age at death being available. He took all deaths classed as thrush, convulsions, rickets, teeth and worms, abortives, chrysomes, infants, livergrown, and overlaid and added to them half the deaths classed as smallpox, swinepox, measles, and worms without convulsions. Despite the crudity of this classification his estimate of a 36 % mortality before the age of six years appears from later evidence to have been a good one. While three centuries have contributed something to the scientific accuracy of disease classification, there are many who doubt the usefulness of attempts to compile statistics of disease, or even causes of death, because of the difficulties of classification.

  • The Justinianic Plague's Origins and Consequences

    The Justinianic Plague's Origins and Consequences

    The Justinianic plague’s origins and consequences Georgiana Bianca Constantin1, Ionuţ Căluian2 1Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy, Dunarea de Jos University Galati, Romania 2Valahia University Targoviste, Romania Corresponding author: Georgiana Bianca Constantin Abstract The bubonic plague is an extremely old disease (apparentely from the late Neolitic era). The so-called “Justinianic plague”of the sixth century was the first well-attested outbreak of bubonic plague in the history of the Mediterranean world. It was thought that the Justinianic Plague, along with barbarian invasions, contributed directly to the so-called “Fall of the Roman Empire.” Keywords: plague, pandemics, history Introduction The bubonic plague is an extremely old disease, and scientists have detected the DNA of the pathogen that causes it—the bacterium Yersinia pestis—in the remains of late Neolithic era [1]. The limited details in historical texts have led scholars to question whether the causative agent of Justinianic Plague was truly Yersinia pestis, a debate that was only resolved recently through ancient DNA analysis [2-4]. Three major plague epidemics have been recorded worldwide so far: the “Justinian” plague in the 6th century, the “Black Death” in the 14th century and the recent 20th century pandemic [5]. The plague first hit cities in the southeastern Mediterranean, and moved swiftly through the Levant to the imperial capital of Constantinople. It seems that the plague arrived in Constantinople in 542 CE and the outbreak continued to sweep throughout the Mediterranean world for another 225 years, finally disappearing in 750 CE [1,6]. It is difficult to approximate the overall mortality rate due to the 542 plague, because of the lack of demographical data.

The SSL as a collective entity played a crucial role in the formation of early statistics, as statisticians envisaged early statistics as a collaborative scientific project and prompted large-scale observation, which required cooperation among numerous statistical observers.

    © Smartboy10/DigitalVision Vectors/Getty Images CHAPTER 1 The Approach and Evolution of Epidemiology LEARNING OBJECTIVES By the end of this chapter the reader will be able to: ■ Define and discuss the goals of public health. ■ Distinguish between basic, clinical, and public health research. ■ Define epidemiology and explain its objectives. ■ Discuss the key components of epidemiology (population and frequency, distribution, determinants, and control of disease). ■ Discuss important figures in the history of epidemiology, including John Graunt, James Lind, William Farr, and John Snow. ■ Discuss important modern studies, including the Streptomycin Tuberculosis Trial, Doll and Hill’s studies on smoking and lung cancer, and the Framingham Study. ■ Discuss the current activities and challenges of modern epidemiologists. ▸ Introduction Most people do not know what epidemiology is or how it contributes to the health of our society. This fact is somewhat paradoxical given that epidemi- ology pervades our lives. Consider, for example, the following statements involving epidemiological research that have made headline news: ■ Ten years of hormone drugs benefits some women with breast cancer. ■ Cellular telephone users who talk or text on the phone while driving cause one in four car accidents. ■ Omega-3 pills, a popular alternative medicine, may not help with depression. ■ Fire retardants in consumer products may pose health risks. ■ Brazil reacts to an epidemic of Zika virus infections. 1 2 Chapter 1 The Approach and Evolution of Epidemiology The breadth and importance of these topics indicate that epidemiol- ogy directly affects the daily lives of most people. It affects the way that individuals make personal decisions about their lives and the way that the government, public health agencies, and medical organizations make policy decisions that affect how we live.
