Statistical Analysis of Stochastic Processes in Time
J. K. Lindsey, Universit? de Li?ge, Belgium

'This book is an extraordinary piece of literature ? It is simply a 
masterpiece and even the most experienced statistician will learn a thing 
or two from this text. ? It is more than a mere cookery book type of 
statistical commands, output and interpretation but, rather, a deep 
understanding and appreciation of the statistical thinking process. ? The 
book is well written and would be good reading for applied statisticians 
as well as all post-graduate and faculty members who interact with data.

Statistical Models
A. C. Davison, ?cole Polytechnique F?d?rale, Lausanne

?? an almost encyclopaedic survey of modern parametric statistics. In my 
view this mammoth and scholarly undertaking invites comparison with 
Kendall's original Advanced Theory of Statistics, providing as it does a 
snapshot of the discipline at the present time. Anybody who is seriously 
involved in the theory or practice of statistics would be well advised to 
ensure that they have access to a copy.?
Short Book Reviews
*Blends theory and practice to give a useful general discussion of 
statistical modelling
*Unrivalled coverage of major modern statistical methodologies
*Many problems, with practical exercises based on the S language at the 
end of each chapter
