Statistical Hypothesis Testing in Context: Volume 52

'A necessary book for the applied statistician seeking to understand the theoretical underpinnings of statistical methods and for graduate students knowledgeable about statistical theory but lacking experience in application. The book is chock full of challenging examples that point to the complexities of choice of method. A particularly valuable feature of the book is the authors' description of competing methods coupled with their clarity in explaining and justifying why they prefer one method over others. Fay and Brittain should sit on every statistician's bookshelf.' Janet Wittes, WCG Statistics Collaborative
'Good statistical hypothesis testing and confidence interval construction involves mathematical aspects of finding a good test given a probability model and scientific aspects of determining the appropriateness of a probability model for answering a scientific question. This book provides a lucid discussion of both these mathematical and scientific aspects with compelling scientific examples. I most highly recommend this book.' Dylan Small, University of Pennsylvania
'Congratulations to Fay and Brittain for this wonderful reference book that does what its somewhat unusual title suggests: puts hypothesis testing in the context of science. The vast coverage of topics, extensive bibliography and notes, and easy to understand explanations make 'Statistical Hypothesis Testing in Context: Reproducibility, Inference, and Science' an indispensable tool in the arsenal of any applied or theoretical statistician or biostatistician. I enthusiastically recommend buying the book!' Michael A. Proschan, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases
