Statistics in Practice is an important international series of texts which provide detailed cov-
erage of statistical concepts, methods and worked case studies in specific fields of investiga-
tion and study.
With sound motivation and many worked practical examples, the books show in down-
to-earth terms how to select and use an appropriate range of statistical techniques in a partic-
ular practical field within each title’s special topic area.
The books provide statistical support for professionals and research workers across a
range of employment fields and research environments. Subject areas covered include medi-
cine and pharmaceutics; industry, finance merce; public services; the earth and
environmental sciences, and so on.
The books also provide support to students studying statistical courses applied to the
above areas. The demand for graduates to be equipped for the work environment has led to
such courses ing increasingly prevalent at universities and colleges.
It is our aim to present judiciously chosen and well-written workbooks to meet everyday
practical needs. Feedback of views from readers will be most valuable to monitor the suc-
cess of this aim.
plete list of titles in this series appears at the end of the volume.
