From the first page of entry Aldrich:2013:KPB:
``There were essentially only two editors of Biometrika in the first 65 years and only three in the first 90 years (Karl Pearson [27 March 1857--27 April 1936], Egon Sharpe Pearson [11 August 1895--12 June 1980], and Sir David Roxbee Cox [5 July 1924--]). ... Biometrika was founded for the statistical study of biological problems and it was still the leading journal for biometric anthropology in 1936. Though it established a niche in this specialized branch of biology, it did not realize the hopes of its founders and the real importance of K. P.'s Biometrika was in its role in establishing mathematical statistics as a discipline.''
Helen Walker, who knew Karl Pearson well,
wrote in her Pearson centennial memoir ``The
Contributions of Karl Pearson'', Journal of
the American Statistical Association 53(281)
11--22 (March 1958),

``A few years later he [Karl Pearson] was involved in a long struggle for the unpopular idea that mathematics should be applied to the study of biology. \ldots{} " Much bitterness arose over this question and the Royal Society, while ready to accept papers dealing with either mathematics or biology, refused to accept papers dealing with both. That refusal was one of the facts which led to the founding of Biometrika.''
Data for this journal have been derived mainly from the publisher Web sites, with contributions from bibliographies in the BibNet Project and TeX User Group bibliography archives, and from the MathSciNet database.
Numerous errors in the Web sources noted above have been corrected. Spelling has been verified with the UNIX spell and GNU ispell programs using the exception dictionary stored in the companion file with extension .sok.
BibTeX citation tags are uniformly chosen as name:year:abbrev, where name is the family name of the first author or editor, year is a 4-digit number, and abbrev is a 3-letter condensation of important title words. Citation tags were automatically generated by software developed for the BibNet Project.
The checksum field above contains a CRC-16 checksum as the first value, followed by the equivalent of the standard UNIX wc (word count) utility output of lines, words, and characters. This is produced by Robert Solovay's checksum utility.
