SummaryAn account of the life of the second Commonwealth Statistician, Charles Henry Wickens (1872–1939), has been given. After a primary school education in a Victorian country centre, Wickens became Associate of the Institute of Actuaries. Having joined the public service of Western Australia in 1897, he was appointed Compiler in the Commonwealth Bureau of Census and Statistics in 1906; he served as Commonwealth Statistician and Actuary, 1922 to 1932, giving outstanding service as government adviser and head of an important government department. He was a leader among theoretical and practical economists. His contributions to the study of Australian demography, especially life tables and vital statistics, were of the highest quality and permanent value. He made also scholarly contributions to actuarial theory and to the popularization of the work of the Burea

摘要:

SummaryIn this paper problems of tests of symmetry about the origin with discrete samples are considered. Recently Vorličková established the asymptotic normality of linear rank statistics and signed rank statistics in [5] and [6]. Here we propose statistics which are conditionally the sum of independent variables, including the locally most powerful tests for a one sided one parameter family. Their asymptotic distributions are derived under the null hypothesis and the contiguous rounding off location alternatives. We propose four types of signed rank tests and investigate their propertie

摘要:

AbstractThe so‐called “principal formulae” of planar integral geometry are conventionally couched in terms of the “kinematic density”dxdydθ.Here a corresponding theory with respect to the “Lebesgue density”dxdy, that is with rotations suppressed, is developed. The only real difference is that the new “fundamental formula of Blaschke”contains a term depending upon the relative orientations of the two domains involved. In particular, the remarkable iteration property of these formulae carries over. The usual principal formulae follow as a corollary of the formulae given here, upon, averaging
