Recensione:

"It is to be hoped ... that experimenters in all fields will be encouraged to read this text." (Biometrics, June 1979)

"The authors are to be congratulated for having written an excellent book. Students fortunate enough to have this as a text will have the opportunity to learn much, and not the least from the review questions and numerous well constructed problems. Engineers wishing to advance their elementary understanding of statistical design and analysis will be delighted with this work. The writing is literate, and the technical aspect impeccable." (Journal of Quality Technology, Vol. 11, No. 1, Jan. 1979, Lloyd S. Nelson, General Electric Co., Louisville, KY)
