Nearby towns are Longford 12 km to the west, Mullingar 26 km to the east, Athlone 40 km to the south and Cavan 42 km to the north. Name The area was named Edgeworthstown in the 19th century after the Anglo-Irish Edgeworth family. An estate was built there by Richard Lovell Edgeworth. His family—which includes Honora Sneyd (his second wife), writer and intellectual Maria Edgeworth, botanist Michael Pakenham Edgeworth, economist Francis Ysidro Edgeworth, and priest Henry Essex Edgeworth—lived at the estate. The area's original name was the Irish ''Meathas Troim'' or ''Meathas Truim''. This was anglicized as ''Mastrim'' or ''Mostrim'' and variants. These names continued to be used by the locals. In 1935, at the behest of the local Town Tenants' Association, Longford County Council officially changed the town ...

Edgeworth Conjecture
Edgeworth's limit theorem is an economic theorem created by Francis Ysidro Edgeworth that examines a range of possible outcomes which may result from free market exchange or barter between groups of people. It shows that while the precise location of the final settlement (the ultimate division of goods) between the parties is indeterminate, there is a range of potential outcomes which shrinks as the number of traders increases. Theoretical outline Francis Ysidro Edgeworth first described what later became known as the limit theorem in his book ''Mathematical Psychics'' (1881). He used a variant of what is now known as the Edgeworth box (with quantities traded, rather than quantities possessed, on the relevant axes) to analyse trade between groups of traders of various sizes. In general he found that 'Contract without competition is indeterminate, contract with perfect competition is perfectly determinate, ndcontract with more or less perfect competition is less or more indetermina ...

Edgeworth Series
The Gram–Charlier A series (named in honor of Jørgen Pedersen Gram and Carl Charlier), and the Edgeworth series (named in honor of Francis Ysidro Edgeworth) are series that approximate a probability distribution in terms of its cumulants. The series are the same; but, the arrangement of terms (and thus the accuracy of truncating the series) differ. The key idea of these expansions is to write the characteristic function of the distribution whose probability density function is to be approximated in terms of the characteristic function of a distribution with known and suitable properties, and to recover through the inverse Fourier transform. Gram–Charlier A series We examine a continuous random variable. Let \hat be the characteristic function of its distribution whose density function is , and \kappa_r its cumulants. We expand in terms of a known distribution with probability density function , characteristic function \hat, and cumulants \gamma_r. The density is generally ...
