Recenzje

"The analyses of the examples are sufficiently detailed to provide good illustrations of both general principles and important specific techniques of analysis, yet are presented insuch a way that tge informed reader will want to try his own hand at extending the analysis of the data. This book should be read by anyone interested in statistical methods."
-J.F. Lawless, International Statistical Institute
"I recommend anyone who teaches applied statistics at an advanced level to purchase this book."
