Abstract

Applied General Statistics-Frederick Emory Croxton 1939 "This book is intended for the use of readers who are interested in the understanding of statistical methods, and in their application in various fields, especially the social sciences. Consequently, the illustrative material has been drawn mainly from the fields of economics, sociology, and business, but occasionally from others. The arrangement of the topics treated in this volume is about the same as in the authors' earlier book, Practical Business Statistics. The present text, however, does not stress business applications of statistical methods, but does present a greatly amplified treatment of analytical methods. The extensive discussion of the description and analysis of statistical data and of the making of statistical inferences will, we hope, make it useful to a wide group of teachers emphasizing various aspects of statistics"--Preface.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
