Historical Statistics of theUnited States, 5 Volume SetMillennial EditionEditorsSusan B. CarterScott Sigmund GartnerMichael R. HainesAlan L. OlmsteadRichard SutchGavin Wright “For starters, it weighs 29 pounds. It has five vol-umes. And it’s densely packed with more than amillion numbers that measure America in mind-boggling detail, from the average annual precipita-tion in Sweet Springs, Mo., to the wholesale priceof rice in Charleston S.C., in 1707...The new edi-tion, which sells for $825 and is also available inan online version, is a gold mine for scholars, stu-dents and assorted nerds and numbers crunchers.”

Sam Roberts, The New York Times

Long the standard source for quantitativeindicators of American history, a revisededition of Historical Statistics of the UnitedStates is now available in both print andonline versions. Historical Statistics of theUnited States, Millennial Edition is a monu-mental work of collaborative scholarshipproviding a comprehensive compendium ofstatistics from over 1,000 sources. Over 80scholars have contributed their efforts andexpertise to select, assemble, and documentthe data, to write the introductory essays,and to analyze the material.

Data Analysis and GraphicsUsing RAn Example-based Approach2nd EditionJohn MaindonaldAustralian National University, CanberraJohn BraunUniversity of Western OntarioPraise for the first edition:“This book does an excellent job of describing thebasics of a variety of statistical tools, both classicaland modern, through examples from a wide vari-ety of disciplines…the book’s writing style is veryreadable, with clear explanations and preciseintroductions of all topics and terminology…thebook also provides a wealth of examples from vari-ous physical and social sciences, engineering, andmedicine that have been effectively chosen to illus-trate not only the basics of the statistical methods,but also some of the interesting subtleties of theanalyses that may require careful interpretationand discussion…I believe that they have created areadable book that is rich with clear explanationsand illustrative examples of the capability of adiverse set of tools. The packaging of the materialwith the R language is natural, and the extensiveweb page of resources complements the book’s use-fulness for a road audience of statisticians andpractitioners.”

Biometrics

This revised edition reflects changes in Rsince 2003 and has new material on sur-vival analysis, random coefficient models,and the handling of high-dimensional data.Assuming only basic statistical knowledge,the book is ideal for research scientists,final-year undergraduate or graduate-levelstudents of applied statistics, and practicingstatisticians.

Matched Sampling forCausal Eff e c t sDonald B. RubinHarvard University, Massachusetts

Matched sampling is often used to helpassess the causal effect of some exposure orintervention, typically when randomizedexperiments are not available or cannot beconducted. This book presents a selectionof Donald B. Rubin’s research articles onmatched sampling, and will be an indis-pensable reference for students andresearchers in statistics, epidemiology, med-icine, economics, education, sociology,political science, and anyone else doingempirical research to evaluate the causaleffects of interventions.

The Emergence of Pro b a b i l i t yA Philosophical Study ofEarly Ideas about Probability,Induction and Statistical Inference2nd EditionIan HackingPraise for the first edition:“This is not a technical book on probability,although of course Hacking is at home in this fieldand writes easily about it when necessary. His bookis an important contribution to the history ofideas, cutting new paths, joining some of the morestandard and known aspects of the early history ofprobability theory with lesser-known but equallyimportant works…not only does Hacking writewell, but he has a firm historical sense, and iscareful to get the views he discusses correct.His history of the idea of probability is careful,accurate, and absolutely absorbing.”

Random Fragmentation andCoagulation Pro c e s s e sJean BertoinUniversité de Paris VI (Pierre et Marie Curie)

Fragmentation and coagulation are twonatural phenomena that can be observed inmany sciences and at a great variety ofscales - from, for example, DNA fragmen-tation to formation of planets by accretion.This book, by the author of the acclaimedLévy Processes (CUP 1998), is the first com-prehensive theoretical account of mathe-matical models for situations where eitherphenomenon occurs randomly and repeat-edly as time passes. Written for readerswith a solid background in probability, itscareful exposition allows graduate students,as well as working mathematicians, toapproach the material with confidence.

Bayesian Inference for GeneE x p ression and Proteomics EditorsKim-Anh DoPeter MüllerUniversity of Texas, HoustonMarina VannucciTexas A & M University

This book discusses the development andapplication of Bayesian methods in theanalysis of high-throughput bioinformaticsdata from medical research and molecularand structural biology. The Bayesianapproach has the advantage that evidencecan be easily and flexibly incorporated intostatistical models. A basic overview of thebiological and technical principles behindmulti-platform high-throughput experi-

mentation is followed by expert reviews ofBayesian methodology, tools, and softwarefor single group inference, group compar-isons, classification and clustering, motifdiscovery and regulatory networks, andBayesian networks and gene interactions.

S t ructural Equation Modelingand Natural SystemsJames GraceThis book presents an introduction to themethodology of structural equation model-ing, illustrates its use, and goes on to arguethat it has re vo l u t i o n a ry implications for thestudy of natural systems. A major theme ofthis book is that we have, up to this point,attempted to study systems primarily usingmethods (such as the univariate model) thatwe re designed only for considering individ-ual processes. Understanding systemsre q u i res the capacity to examine simultane-ous influences and responses. St ru c t u r a lequation modeling (SEM) has such capabil-ities. It also possesses many other traits thatadd strength to its utility as a means ofmaking scientific pro g ress.

This book introduces the challenges posedby less-than-perfect samples, giving back-ground knowledge and practical guidancefor those who have to deal with them. Itexplains why samples are, and sometimesshould be, non-random in the first place;how to assess the degree of non-random-ness; when correction by weighting isappropriate and how to apply it; and howthe statistical treatment of these samplesmust be adapted. Extended data examplesshow the techniques at work. This is abook for practicing researchers. It is a refer-ence for the methods and formulae neededto deal with commonly encountered situa-tions and, above all, a source of realisticand implementable solutions.
