Date22 June 1953
DescriptionPaper reference code: A210

Bailey remarks the paper is valuable, suggests the authors may like to mention 'equations that raise for moments on cumulants, which always constitute an infinite set, even when the probability equations are a finite system', and comments he has not had the time to check all mathematical details.

Written at Investigation into the Functions and Design of Hospitals, Nuffield Lodge, Regent's Park, London [England].

[Published in Philosophical Transactions A, 1954].
