 Item
Identifier: Coll-1064/17

Scope and Contents

Thomson stresses that he does not wish Ledermann to reply to the letter while his Mother is visiting. He refers to a manuscript he sent Ledermann regarding the connection between estimation and selection, outlining a point he can add to it and referring to matrices of Aitken's.

He discusses orthogonal projection, estimation of regression, the selection formulae, and how these can be seen as one; as well as the division of factorial analysis after selection into two parts.
