Reviews

The book is written in a very educational style with a practical lay-out allowing easy access. Every chapter is introduced by a box overviewing its key points and most contain practical worked examples using real-world data. A sample data set is also provided. Most of the material discussed is backed-up by previously published papers by the authors and hence extra information is available if needed. The book clearly achieves its objective. It is highly recommended to all researchers whohave to sample and find the standard text books too complicated. It is also a perfect book for students in many disciplines. -Marc Van Meirvenne, Ghent University
