F.Y. Edgeworth: Writings in Probability, Statistics and Economics

This important three volume set is a collection of Edgeworth's published writings in the areas of statistics and probability. There is a newly-emerging interest in probability theory as a basis for economic thought and this collection makes the writings of Edgeworth more accessible.

A new introduction written by the editor covers the biographical details, a brief abstract of each of the articles and the basis of their selection is also included.
