Abstract
Frequency distributions of parasuicidal episodes (suicide attempts) in Edinburgh [Scotland, United Kingdom] for 4 subgroups of people for each of the years 1970, 1973 and 1974 were presented. Probability distributions were fitted to these data and the log-series distribution best fits the data for 2 subgroups. The stability of the parameters of these distributions was examined and was demonstrated for 2 of the subgroups.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
