D. G. Kabe – författare

This volume is a collection of exercises with their solutions in Design and Analysis of Experiments. At present there is not a single book which collects such exercises. Theseexercises have been collected by the authors during the last four decadesduring their student and teaching years. They should prove useful to graduate students and research workers in Statistics. In Chapter I, theoretical results that are needed for understanding the material in this book, are given. Chapter 2 lists the exercises which have been collected by the authors. The solutions of these problems are given in Chapter 3. Finally an index is provided for quick reference. Grateful appreciation for financial support for Dr. Kabe's research at St. Mary's University is extended to National Research Council of Canada and St. May's Uni­ versity Senate Research Committee. For his visit to the Department ofMathematics and Statistics the authors are thankful to the Bowling Green State University.

Sample surveys is the most important branch of statistics. Without sample surveys there is no data, and without data there is no statistics. This book is the culmination of the lecture notes developed by the authors. The approach is theoretical in the sense that it gives mathematical proofs of the results in sample surveys. Intended as a textbook for a one-semester course for undergraduate seniors or first-year graduate students, a prerequisite basic knowledge of algebra, calculus, and statistical theory is required to master the techniques described in this book.
