This is author-approved bcc: This is the third volume of a collection of seminal papers in the statistical sciences written during the past 110 years. These papers have each had an outstanding influence on the development of statistical theory and practice over the last century. Each paper is preceded by an introduction written by an authority in the field providing background information and assessing its influence. Volume III concerntrates on articles from the 1980's while including some earlier articles not included in Volume I and II. Samuel Kotz is Professor of Statistics in the College...

This book provides a survey of recent methodology, both theoretical and applied, regarding the statistical analysis and detection of defective (non-conforming) items in various types of inspection for attributes, when the inspection itself is subject to error. This error can be of two kinds: false positive (classifying non-defective as defective) and false negative (classifying defective as non-defective).
This book provides a survey of recent methodology, both theoretical and applied, regarding the statistical analysis and detection of defective (non-co...
This book aims to provide a rigorous, comprehensive yet succinct analysis of process capability indexes which have attracted great interest n the literature over the past decade.

Timely, comprehensive, practical--an important working resource for all who use this critical statistical method
Discrete Multivariate Distributions is the only comprehensive, single-source reference for this increasingly important statistical subdiscipline. It covers all significant advances that have occurred in the field over the past quarter century in the theory, methodology, computational procedures, and applications of discrete multivariate distributions in a wide range of disciplines. Distributions covered include multinomial, binomial, negative binomial, Poisson, power...

A comprehensive account of economic size distributions around the world and throughout the years
In the course of the past 100 years, economists and applied statisticians have developed a remarkably diverse variety of income distribution models, yet no single resource convincingly accounts for all of these models, analyzing their strengths and weaknesses, similarities and differences. Statistical Size Distributions in Economics and Actuarial Sciences is the first collection to systematically investigate a wide variety of parametric models that deal with income, wealth, and related...

This volume makes up one of two books in a series on continuous multivariate distributions (CMD). Johnson and Kotz published the original, single volume in 1972. The subject has developed greatly since that time, with possible applications such as understanding the complexities of flood, quake, rainfall, and wind control, and now constitutes two broadly classified areas: sampling and modelling.
