The components of variance is a notion essential to statisticians and quantitative research scientists working in a variety of fields, including the biological, genetic, health, industrial, and psychological sciences. Co-authored by Sir David Cox, the pre-eminent statistician in the field, this book provides in-depth discussions that set forth the essential principles of the subject. It focuses on developing the models that form the basis for detailed analyses as well as on the statistical techniques themselves. The authors include a variety of examples from areas such as clinical trial design, plant and animal breeding, industrial design, and psychometrics.

The worlds wealthiest nations have expended vast blood and treasure in tracking and capturing traffickers, dealers and consumers of narcotics, as well as destroying crops and confiscating shipments. Yet the global trade in illicit drugs is thriving, with no apparent change in the level of consumption despite decades of prohibition. This Adelphi argues that the present enforcement regime is not only failing to win theWar on Drugs ; it is also igniting and prolonging that conflict on the streets of producer and transit countries, where the supply chain has become interwoven with state institutions and cartels have become embroiled in violence against their rivals and with security forces. What can be done to secure the worst affected regions and states, such as Latin America and Afghanistan? By examining the destabilising affects of prohibition, as well as alternative approaches such as that adopted by the authorities in Portugal, this book shows how progress may be made by treating consumption as a healthcare issue rather than a criminal matter, thereby freeing states to tackle the cartels and traffickers who hold their communities to ransom.

This volume describes methods for the analysis of relations between a set of variables, with the emphasis mainly on observational studies in the social sciences. Also examined is the role of intermediate variables serving as responses to some variables and as explanatory to others.

Helps researchers understand the theory of the design of experiments so they can easily adapt general principles to their specialties. This book brings the theory to non-statisticians at a reasonable mathematical level so that they can apply and adapt the special designs.

This book describes the properties of stochastic probabilistic models and develops the applied mathematics of stochastic point processes. It is useful to students and research workers in probability and statistics and also to research workers wishing to apply stochastic point processes.

This monograph brings together the older and newer ideas on the analysis of survival data to present a comprehensive account of the field.

This is a revised analysis in which the aspect of primary concern takes one of just two possible forms - success, failure; survives, dies; correct, false; nondefective, defective etc. Such data are called binary methods and it studies how the probability of success depends on explanatory features.

This text provides a systematic statement of the theory of statistics, with emphasis placed on general concepts rather than on mathematical rigour. A familiarity with standard statistical techniques is assumed.
