REVIEWS

“…Wilcox has greatly enhanced this ebook, which is now almost twice as big as the first edition. This would now look to be a good ebook for everyone to have in their library.” — Technometrics, 2005

“This textbook emphasizes applied aspects of major modern and robust statistical methods. Early chapters describe the aims and mathematical foundations of modern methods. The heart of the ebook describes methods for addressing general problems in ANOVA and regression, with a minimum of technical details, and judges their advantages using multiple criteria, giving advice on which ones to use for various situations. Chapter exercises are included. The ebook assumes a prior introductory statistics course and background on fundamentals of ANOVA, hypothesis testing, and regression. For the third edition, S-PLUS functions are no longer backed. Rather, R functions are supplied.” — Reference and Research Book News, Inc.
