Covering both finite-sample theory and asymptotic theory, this volume explains the application procedures for many data-analysis techniques and quality control. Attention is given to shortcut methods, robust estimation, life testing, reliability, L-statistics, and extreme-value theory. An appendix provides a guide to related tables and computer algorithms. David taught statistics at Iowa State University; Nagaraja teaches statistics and internal medicine at The Ohio State University.
