    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 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 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.

  • Laura Vaughan
    Mapping From a rare map of yellow fever in eighteenth-century New York, to Charles Booth’s famous maps of poverty in nineteenth-century London, an Italian racial Laura Vaughan zoning map of early twentieth-century Asmara, to a map of wealth disparities in the banlieues of twenty-first-century Paris, Mapping Society traces the evolution of social cartography over the past two centuries. In this richly illustrated book, Laura Vaughan examines maps of ethnic or religious difference, poverty, and health Mapping inequalities, demonstrating how they not only serve as historical records of social enquiry, but also constitute inscriptions of social patterns that have been etched deeply on the surface of cities. Society The book covers themes such as the use of visual rhetoric to change public Society opinion, the evolution of sociology as an academic practice, changing attitudes to The Spatial Dimensions physical disorder, and the complexity of segregation as an urban phenomenon. While the focus is on historical maps, the narrative carries the discussion of the of Social Cartography spatial dimensions of social cartography forward to the present day, showing how disciplines such as public health, crime science, and urban planning, chart spatial data in their current practice. Containing examples of space syntax analysis alongside full-colour maps and photographs, this volume will appeal to all those interested in the long-term forces that shape how people live in cities. Laura Vaughan is Professor of Urban Form and Society at the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL. In addition to her research into social cartography, she has Vaughan Laura written on many other critical aspects of urbanism today, including her previous book for UCL Press, Suburban Urbanities: Suburbs and the Life of the High Street.

  • Major GREENWOOD (1880 – 1949)
    Major GREENWOOD (1880 – 1949) Publications Three previous publications have included lists of the books, reports, and papers written by, or with contributions by, Major Greenwood; none is complete. With the advantage of electronic searches we have therefore attempted to find all his published works and checked them back to source. Since both father (1854 - 1917) and son (1880 - 1949) had identical names, and both were medically qualified with careers that overlapped, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish the publications of one from those of the other except by their appendages (snr. or jun.), their qualifications (the former also had a degree in law), their locations, their dates, or the subjects they addressed. We have listed the books, reports, and papers separately, and among the last included letters, reviews, and obituaries. Excluding the letters would deprive interested scientists of the opportunity of appreciating Greenwood’s great knowledge of the classics, of history, and of medical science, as well as his scathing demolition of imprecision and poor numerical argument. The two publications in red we have been unable to verify against a source. Books Greenwood M Physiology of the Special Senses (vii+239 pages) London: Edward Arnold, 1910. Collis EL, Greenwood M The Health of the Industrial Worker (xix+450pages) London: J & A Churchill, 1921.

  • William Farr on the Cholera: the Sanitarian's Disease Theory And
    William Farr on the Cholera: The Sanitarian's Disease Theory and. the Statistician's Method JOHN M. EYLER N 1852 the British medical press heralded a major work on England's second epidemic of cholera. The Lancet called it 'one of the most remarkable productions of type Downloaded from and pen in any age or country,' a credit to the profes- sion.1 Even in the vastly different medical world of 1890, Sir John Simon would remember the report as 'a classic jhmas.oxfordjournals.org in medical statistics: admirable for the skill with which the then recent ravages of the disease in England were quantitatively analyzed ... and for the literary power with which the story of the disease, so far as then known, 2 was told.' The work was William Farr's Report on the Mortality of Cholera at McGill University Libraries on September 18, 2011 in England, 1848-49,3 which had been prepared in England's great center for vital statistics, the General Register Office. In reading the report and its sequels for the 1853-544 and the 1866 epidemics5 one is struck by their comprehensiveness and exhaustive numerical analysis, but even more by the realization that the reports are intimately bound up with a theory of communicable disease and an attitude toward epidemiological research 1.
