The book celebrates the centenary of Biometrika, one of the
world's leading academic journals in statistical theory and
methodology by collating two sets of papers from the
journal. One set consists of seven articles that review the
journal's contribution to statistical science; the other
set contains ten seminal papers from the journals first
hundred years. The book opens with an introduction by the
editors Professor D.M. Titterington and Sir David Cox.
Readership: Academic and professional statisticians.
Secondary market in biology, social sciences, economic and
medicine where there has been important applications of
statistical research.
