摘要:
SummarySituations frequently occur in industry where a decision has to be made concerning the amount of technical effort to be expended. Included amongst these situations are the determination of the appropriate amount of testing on incoming raw material, the level of process control to be adopted, or the scale of finished product testing necessary to meet customers' specifications. Some examples are given from each of these areas of application. These demonstrate that the achievement of the optimum balance of effort requires a clear definition of the aim of the work, an assessment of the consequences that would flow from wrong decisions, together with some knowledge of the appropriate prior probability distribution.A more fundamental problem, which frequently faces management, is the allocation of a global amount of research and development expenditure amongst a number of competing projects. This problem is considered from the viewpoint of maximizing the expectation of gain. It is shown, on the basis of a simplified model, that dividing the effort equally between projects, or in proportion to their apparent values, may not always give the best results.

摘要:
SummaryJohn Graunt was a London draper who, three hundred years ago, published some “Natural and Political Observations on the Bills of Mortality”. These observations represent the first, and an extremely competent, attempt to draw scientific conclusions from statistical data. The present study illustrates Graunt's careful scientific approach, his ability to extract the essence from what by modern standards are distinctly untrustworthy demographic data, and his intuitive appreciation of the amount of interpretation his findings would stand. Graunt's analysis was largely based upon ratios and proportions of vital events and consideration of the way in which these altered in different circumstances, and is remarkably free of major statistical errors. His statistical understanding was considerable; for example, we owe to him the first scientific estimates of population size, the concept of the life table, the idea of statistical association, the first studies of time series, and a pioneer attempt to draw a representative sample. Graunt's book is well worth reading today, not only for entertainment and instruction, but because it laid the foundations of the science of statistics.

摘要:
SummaryWhen a number of characters are simultaneously under study in a sample survey, there is no single optimality criterion for the allocation of the sample numbers. In this paper a particular optimality criterion is developed and the use of nonlinear programming methods in the solution of allocation problems is discussed. The methods are illustrated by numerical examples from actual surveys.
