ACM Computing Reviews Review #: CR129850, July 26, 2004.

    Usually, the authors of these kinds of books pay insufficient heed to 
the simple principle that the reader needs to understand the overall 
purpose of the work being discussed, in order to best assimilate the 
details. This book avoids that problem; starting with the introduction, 
it emphasizes the importance of correct statistical work in the social and 
behavioral sciences. ...This is not an easy book, but, despite the 
complexity of the approach, it is a very important one for researchers, 
social scientists, and, of course, graduate and post-graduate students in 
various disciplines who understand that they must have strong skills in 
statistics and mathematics. Students in particular will benefit from the 
development of the formulas on almost every page in the second section of 
the book....This will be an important book for anyone interested in 
computational statistics; such readers must understand that there is 
always a problem with any result of a statistical computer program, and 
most of these problems are not known to the program's users.
