Recenzje

"This impressive volume is highly recommended for all statisticians as well as anybody who is interested in applying statistics in any science."
- Perceptual and Motor Skills, December 2001

"Even though statistics is used in different disciplines in different contexts, this volume reveals an underlying cohesiveness of the field. With the growth of computer power and storage, researchers are analyzing large and complex data sets, leading to the need for new methods of model selection. Material is presented clearly and informatively. Extensive author and subject indexes. A valuable addition to academic libraries."
--CHOICE Magazine, May 2002
