Recenzje

Two experienced statisticians here stress practical usage with emphasis on design, planning, usage and data handling. A rich assortment of worked examples and problems with solutions. SAS and Minitab software packages support the examples with clear command sequences. Straightforward and readable, it has excellent format and clear layout of computer output displays, statistical tables and glossary. It is an above average work on experimental designs, and a good resource for upper-division undergraduates and researchers through to professionals., Choice
