Consumer Price Inflation Since 1750

Abstract
This article presents a composite price index covering the period since 1750 which can be used for analyses of consumer price inflation, or the purchasing power of the pound, over long periods of time. The index is based on both official and unofficial sources and replaces previous long-run inflation indices produced by the ONS, the Bank of England and the House of Commons Library. It shows that:

- between 1750 and 2003, prices rose by around 140 times;
- most of the increase in prices has occurred since the Second World War: between 1750 and 1938, a period spanning nearly two centuries, prices rose by a little over three times; since then they have increased more than forty-fold.

Put another way, the index shows that one decimal penny in 1750 would have had greater purchasing power than one pound in 2003.

This Electronic Statistics Textbook offers training in the understanding and application of statistics. The material was developed at the StatSoft R&D department based on many years of teaching undergraduate and graduate statistics courses and covers a wide variety of applications, including laboratory research (biomedical, agricultural, etc.), business statistics and forecasting, social science statistics and survey research, data mining, engineering and quality control applications, and many others.
The Electronic Textbook begins with an overview of the relevant elementary (pivotal) concepts and continues with a more in depth exploration of specific areas of statistics, organized by "modules," accessible by buttons, representing classes of analytic techniques.

Elementary Concepts in Statistics

Overview of Elementary Concepts in Statistics. In this introduction, we will briefly discuss those elementary statistical concepts that provide the necessary foundations for more specialized expertise in any area of statistical data analysis. The selected topics illustrate the basic assumptions of most statistical methods and/or have been demonstrated in research to be necessary components of one's general understanding of the "quantitative nature" of reality (Nisbett, et al., 1987). Because of space limitations, we will focus mostly on the functional aspects of the concepts discussed and the presentation will be very short. Further information on each of those concepts can be found in the Introductory Overview and Examples sections of this manual and in statistical textbooks. Recommended introductory textbooks are: Kachigan (1986), and Runyon and Haber (1976); for a more advanced discussion of elementary theory and assumptions of statistics, see the classic books by Hays (1988), and Kendall and Stuart (1979).

How to determine that a result is "really" significant
Statistical significance and the number of analyses performed
Strength vs. reliability of a relation between variables
Why stronger relations between variables are more significant
Why significance of a relation between variables depends on the size of the sample
Example: "Baby boys to baby girls ratio"
Why small relations can be proven significant only in large samples
Can "no relation" be a significant result?
How to measure the magnitude (strength) of relations between variables
Common "general format" of most statistical tests
How the "level of statistical significance" is calculated
Why the "Normal distribution" is important
Illustration of how the normal distribution is used in statistical reasoning (induction)
Are all test statistics normally distributed?
How do we know the consequences of violating the normality assumption?

wordcount - Most frequently used English Words

WordCount™ is an interactive presentation of the 86,800 most frequently used English words.
WordCount tracks the way we use language.
QueryCount™ tracks the way we use WordCount.

WordCount™ is an artistic experiment in the way we use language. It presents the 86,800 most frequently used English words, ranked in order of commonness. Each word is scaled to reflect its frequency relative to the words that precede and follow it, giving a visual barometer of relevance. The larger the word, the more we use it. The smaller the word, the more uncommon it is.

Die Flash-Darstellung finde ich nicht ganz glücklich.
Tipp: Statt wortweise nach rechts zu wandern kann man auch den Cursor im Balken direkt unter der Wortliste positionieren. Dann weiss man allerdings nie genau, an welche Stelle der langen Wortliste man springt.
