ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
We would like to express our grateful appreciation to the many organizations and individuals
who have contributed to this book. Many instructors who used the first two editions provided
excellent suggestions that we have tried to incorporate in this revision. We also thank
Professors Manuel D. Rossetti (University of Arkansas), Bruce Schmeiser (Purdue University),
Michael G. Akritas (Penn State University), and Arunkumar Pennathur (University of Texas at
El Paso) for their insightful reviews of the manuscript of the third edition. We are also indebted
to Dr. Smiley Cheng for permission to adapt many of the statistical tables from his excellent
book (with Dr. James Fu), Statistical Tables for Classroom and Exam Room. John Wiley and
Sons, Prentice Hall, the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, and the editors of Biometrics
allowed us to use copyrighted material, for which we are grateful. Thanks are also due to
Dr. Lora Zimmer, Dr. Connie Borror, and Dr. Alejandro Heredia-Langner for their outstanding
work on the solutions to exercises.
