Biography
Arijit Chaudhuri is a professor in the Applied Statistics Unit at the Indian Statistical Institute. Dr. Chaudhuri has published nearly 90 research papers in a variety of journals. He is the co-author of Survey Sampling: Theory and Methods, Second Edition (CRC Press, March 2005). His research interests include survey sampling and reliability.
The book compiles the important mathematical contributions in the area of RR … readers interested in a summary of the statistical advances on RR will certainly find this book to be a good resource. … It is a well-written and edited book and I congratulate the author for his work.
