"This very informative book introduces classical and novel statistical methods that can be used by theoretical and applied biostatisticians to develop efficient solutions for realworld problems encountered in clinical trials and epidemiological studies. The authors provide a detailed discussion of methodological and applied issues in parametric, semiparametric and nonparametric approaches, including computationally extensive datadriven techniques, such as empirical likelihood, sequential procedures, and bootstrap methods. Many of these techniques are implemented using popular software such as R and SAS." Vlad Dragalin, Professor, Johnson and Johnson, Spring House, PA"It is always a pleasure to come across a new book that covers nearly all facets of a branch of science one thought was so broad, so diverse, and so dynamic that no single book could possibly hope to capture all of the fundamentals as well as directions of the field. The topics within the books purviewfundamentals of measuretheoretic probability; parametric and nonparametric statistical inference; central limit theorems; basics of martingale theory; Monte Carlo methods; sequential analysis; sequential changepoint detectionare all covered with inspiring clarity and precision. The authors are also very thorough and avail themselves of the most recent scholarship. They provide a detailed account of the state of the art, and bring together results that were previously scattered across disparate disciplines. This makes the book more than just a textbook: it is a panoramic companion to the field of Biostatistics. The book is selfcontained, and the concise but careful exposition of material makes it accessible to a wide audience. This is appealing to graduate students interested in getting into the field, and also to professors looking to design a course on the subject." Aleksey S. Polunchenko, Department of Mathematical Sciences, State University of New York at BinghamtonThis book should be appropriate for use both as a text and as a reference. This book delivers a "readytogo" wellstructured product to be employed in developing advanced courses. In this book the readers can find classical and new theoretical methods, open problems and new procedures.The book presents biostatistical results that are novel to the current set of books on the market and results that are even new with respect to the modern scientific literature. Several of these results can be found only in this book.
