Statistical Methods, Experimental Design, and Scientific Inference

The writings of R.A. Fisher have proved to be as relevant today as when they were written. This book brings together as a single volume three of his most influential textbooks: Statistical Methods for Research Workers, Statistical Methods and Scientific Inference, and The Design of Experiments. In a new Foreword, written for this edition, Professor Frank Yates discusses some of the key issues tackled in the textbooks, and how they relate to modern statistical practice.
