Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Census of the Commonwealth of Australia, Vol. 1: The Mathematical Theory of Population, of Its Character and Fluctuations, and of the Factors Which Influence Them
In the realm of official statistics there is an enormous amount of accumulated material, which, decade after decade, remains unanalysed and uninterpreted. This is due to several things, viz., to the fact that routine tabulations largely occupy the energies of the staffs of statistical bureaux; to the fact that much of the mass of material itself is defective and its correction involves more time than is available; and perhaps still more to the fact that appropriate schemes of mathematical analysis have as yet either not been developed, or are regarded as inapplicable.
