This is one of the best books that I have seen recently. -Technometrics, Vol. 40, No.3 The many examples are well selected and illustrate the use of the methods introduced on relevant data. the book introduces many statistical concepts, it is concise but careful and it has many good examples. could be used as a basic statistical textbook for researchers in environmental biology. -Statistics in Medicine, Vol. 20: 1143-1152, 2001 Author InformationWalter W.
