Leslie Kish – Statistical Design for Research

The books in the Wiley Classics Library have become classics in their fields. WILEY hopes to extend the life of these important works by making them available to future generations of mathematicians and scientists with the new unabridged and inexpensive editions.

Basic aspects of research design are common to many related fields in the social sciences, health sciences, education, and market research. The work presents a unified approach to a common core of problems of statistical design that exists in all these fields, along with basic similarities in practical solutions. Statistical Design for Research deals with designs that are the primary basis of research studies, but are neglected in most statistical textbooks that focus on statistical analysis. The text takes a more general view of the statistics for the more fundamental aspects of design than the standard treatments of experimental design. The book can be easily consulted by research workers or graduate students.
