The product is in very good condition. The cover was without any damage as was the inner.

I used this book in grad school as my textbook and constantly use it now in my job as a six sigma black belt.

Examples are excellent.

The book is based upon biostatistics courses taught by the authors. It is designed to be used as a self-tutorial if so desired. The explainations and examples are excellent.

I have previously reviewed this book. My review pertains to the second edition as that is the only edition I have.

Recently I did some consulting for a colleague. He had some data that he wanted to test for the presence of a single outlier. I referred him to the procedures due to Grubbs and Dixon. I also mention the book by Barnett and Lewis which has the most detailed account of outlier methods. However, Barnett and Lewis is so detailed that it can be overwhelming for a beginner. Fortunately my friend has a copy of Sokal and Rohlf's book. I believe he has the same second edition that I have. They provide a good elementary treatment of these methods and have tables to use. Unfortunately, I discovered that the tables are in a separate supplement. My colleague has the supplement but I don't. The reader should be aware that the supplement is needed to implement some of the procedures in the book that require tables. It is not expensive but it is essential. I imagine that the same is true for the third edition but I am not sure.

Regardless this is an excellent refer for biostatisticians and practitioners including regulatory affairs analysts and medical writers.
