The analysis of variance. Fixed, random and mixed models (Q4948141)

This is a volume on analysis of variance covering the traditional topics in a very detailed manner. It goes slowly from the one-way classification model via the two-way crossed classification model without and with interactions, the the three-way classification model and models with nested or partially nested classifications. In each case there are discussions of fixed and random effects. The authors avoid the general theory behind all these models. This makes reading for a mathematically orientated user a little boring, but facilitates of course the practical usage. The chapter on design of experiments is rather disappointing (there is even a table of trivial latin squares). What I liked most are the great care in choosing and elaborating the examples, the exhaustive comments on the existing literature and the quite scholarly written introduction on historial developments.
