<p>The new edition of this classic reference includes a wealth of information on the mathematics and practical applications of rank correlation methods. It represents the most extensive revision since the book first appeared in 1948 and provides clear explanations of the methods of rank correlation widely used by statisticians, educators, psychologists, and others involved in analyzing qualitative material. Among the many topics covered are the Goodman-Kruskal coefficient, partial rank correlation, trend tests, and regression techniques. Real numerical examples and problems are taken from interesting research in the social sciences. Expanded tables have also been added that include larger sample sizes and a table of distribution of Kendall's partial law. Reflecting the vast amount of research published in recent years, this edition updates the references and offers over 300 new bibliographic entries. The valuable appendix tables have been revised and expanded.</p>

<p>The original three-volume Advanced Theory of Statistics has long been regarded as the definitive work on statistical theory. The fifth edition of Volume I was published in 1987. Now, the fifth edition of Volume 2 is available. Considerably reshaped, this volume contains a great deal of new material and omits topics that will be treated in later volumes. Volumes 1 and 2 now present the essential topics that every statistician needs to know. These two core volumes will be supplemented in due course by a volume on Bayesian Inference and by a series of monographs on more specialized topics. Volume 2 covers the theory of estimation, testing hypotheses, regression, and comparative statistical inference. Part of the analysis of variance has been incorporated from Volume 3, which, with other chapters, provides a more complete treatment of the linear model than can be found anywhere else in the literature. This is a work that every statistician will find an invaluable source of insight and information.</p>
