Statistics in Practice is an important international series of texts which provide detailed coverage of statistical concepts, methods, and worked case studies in specific fields of investigation and study.

With sound motivation and many worked practical examples, the books show in down‐to‐earth terms how to select and use an appropriate range of statistical techniques in a particular practical field within each title's special topic area.

The books provide statistical support for professionals and research workers across a range of employment fields and research environments. Subject areas covered include medicine and pharmaceutics; industry, finance, and commerce; public services; the earth and environmental sciences; and so on.

The books also provide support to students studying statistical courses applied to the aforementioned areas. The demand for graduates to be equipped for the work environment has led to such courses becoming increasingly prevalent at universities and colleges.

It is our aim to present judiciously chosen and well‐written workbooks to meet everyday practical needs. Feedback of views from readers will be most valuable to monitor the success of this aim.

A complete list of titles in this series appears at the end of the volume.
