Opis

Sir David Cox is one of the seminal statistical thinkers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. In this selection of his work, Professor Cox reviews his most influential and interesting papers published before 1993. Each paper is the subject of a candid commentary written especially for this collection. In these he describes the context in which the papers arose and their subsequent influence. He also identifies avenues for future research. Organized in two volumes and grouped by theme, the papers and commentaries provide excellent coverage of many of the most significant advances in statistics in recent times.

Recenzje

'… David is a statistician's statistician. It is too early to speak of these volumes as a fitting memorial but there is no doubt that they will stand when all our work has become part of that history which David has done so much to create.' David Bartholomew, Sudbury
