Preface
In scientific investigations, the collection of pertinent information and the efficientanalysis of the collected information using statistical principles and methods are veryimportant tasks. The purpose of this volume of the Handbook of Statistics is to providethe reader with the state-of-the-art of statistical design and methods of analysis that areavailable as well as the frontiers of research activities in developing new and bettermethods for performing such tasks. The volume is a tribute to all individuals whohelped in developing this particular area of knowledge to be useful in our everydaylife.Scientific experiments in medicine, industry, agriculture, computer and many otherdisciplines are covered in this volume. Statistical methods like parametric, semipara-metric, nonparametric, adaptive, univariate, multivariate, frequentist and Bayesian, arediscussed. Block, row-column, nested, factorial, response surface, spatial, robust, op-timum, search, singlestage, multistage, exact and approximate designs are presented.The chapters are written in expository style and should be of value to students, re-searchers, consultants and practitioners in universities as well as industries.We would like to express our deep appreciation to the following colleagues for theircooperation and help in reviewing the chapters.Deborah Best, Tadeusz Calinski, Kathryn Chaloner, Richard Cutler, AngelaDean, Benjamin Eichhorn, Richard Gunst, Sudhir Gupta, Linda Haines, ThomasHettmansperger, Klaus Hinkelmann, Theodore Holford, Jason Hsu, Sanpei Kageyama,Andre Khuri, Dibyen Majumdar, John Matthews, Douglas Montgomery, ChristineMuller, William Notz, Thomas Santner, Pranab Sen, Stanley Shapiro, Carl Spruill,Jagdish Srivastava, John Stufken, Ajit Tamhane, Isabella Verdinelli and Shelley Zacks.We are very grateful to the authors for their contributions. Our sincere thanks goto Dr. Gerard Wanrooy and others at North-Holland Publishing Company, also toDr. Rimas MaliukeviEius and others of VTEX Ltd. Subir Ghosh would like to thanktwo very special individuals in his life, Mrs Benu Roy (the late) and Mr. AmalenduRoy as well as his wife Susnata and daughter Malancha for their patience, help andunderstanding.S.
