  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;Letters to Pearson from Francis Edgeworth.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Folder 1, letters 1891-1895, regarding: papers contributed to the &lt;i&gt;Economic Journal&lt;/i&gt;; political economy, and Pearson's socialist perspective on the subject; mathematics applied to biological problems and political economy; skew distributions; probability; Pearson's papers on roulette; frequency deviations; graphical methods in statistics; the law of error; correlation coefficients; composite curves; curve fitting; his disagreements with Pearson; plus enclosed manuscript notes "on proof of law of error", November 1895.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Folder 2, letters 1896-1925, regarding: curve fitting; frequency and distribution curves; Pareto; the law of error; correlation coefficients; probability; goodness of fit; chi square formulations; and his disagreements with Pearson. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;/br&gt;
