This is the new-in-paperback edition of The Oxford Dictionary of Statistical Terms, the much-awaited sixth edition of the acclaimed standard reference work in statistics, published on behalf of the International Statistical Institute. The first edition, known as the Dictionary of Statistical Terms, was edited in 1957 by the late Sir Maurice Kendall and the late Dr W.R. Buckland. As one of the first dictionaries of statistics it set high standards for the subject, and became a well-respected reference. This edition has been carefully updated and extended to include the most recent terminology and techniques in statistics. Significant revision and expansion from an international editorial board of senior statisticians has resulted in a comprehenisive reference text which includes 30% more material than previous editions. Ideal for all who use statistics in the workplace and in research including all scientists and social scientists, especially in law, politics, finance, business, and history, it is an indispensable reference.

**** The fourth edition (1982) is endorsed by BCL3. Written on behalf of the International Statistical Institute, the work reflects the importance of medical statistics and statistical computing, covers new techniques that have arisen through clinical trials, survival analysis and cancer studies, and includes 400 new entries and many new vocabulary terms. We wonder at the specialist lexicographers' common ignoring of pronunciation. Printed cheaply (and well) in Singapore on acidic paper. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
