Chance or Chaos?

M. S. Bartlett

Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series A, 1990, vol. 153, issue 3, 321-330

Abstract: In my survey of mathematical statistics in 1940 the concept of chance was assigned a central role. Some remarks are now made on the comparatively new concept of chaos (which can arise in non‐linear systems even when ‘deterministic’), first of all in relation to two papers in epidemiology by Schaffer (1985) and Olsen et al. (1988), and then more generally on the recognition and properties of chaos and its relation with chance.
