Fisher (1930). The authors' annotations put the articles in perspective for the modern reader. A special feature of the book is the large number of translations, nearly all made by the authors. The selected articles vary considerably in difficulty, some requiring only a basic understanding of statistical concepts, whereas others surprise by their early sophistication in "classical" statistics."--Jacket.  aMathematics aProbabilities and applied mathematics aMathematical statistics --  aStatistik aStatistique mathématique -- Histoire. aDavid, H.
