"The chapters in this edited volume cover an impressive array of innovative statistical techniques, with many of the contributors being acknowledged experts in the development and application of these techniques....This book provides a valuable introduction to the principles underlying their use as well as the substantive issues that can be addressed using these techniques, and will hopefully serve as an impetus towards their more widespread application."
