Synopsis
Procrustean methods are used to transform one set of data to represent another set of data as closely as possible. The name derived from the Greek myth where Procrustes invited passers-by in for a pleasant meal and a night's rest on a magical bed that would exactly fit any guest. He then either stretched the guest on a rack or cut off their legs to make them fit perfectly into the bed. Theseus turned the tables on Procrustes, fatally adjusting him to fit his own bed. The text is the first systematic overview of Procrustean methods in one volume, presenting a unifying Analysis of Variance framework for different matching methods and the development of statistical tests.

Review
"The contents of this book are interesting and are not found in standard statistics textbooks...This book should provoke interest and curiosity amony statisticians about Procrustes analysis."--TECHNOMETRICS
"Although he authors go into many technical details of Procrustes methods, their style is still very clearI can strongly recommend Procrustes Problems to those interested in Procrustes methods."--Journal of the American Statistical Association

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Procrustean methods are used to transform one set of data to represent another set of data as closely as possible. The name derives from the Greek myth where Procrustes invited passers-by in for a pleasant meal and a night's rest on a magical bed that would exactly fit any guest. He then either stretched the guest on the rack or cut off their legs to make them fit perfectly into the bed. Theseus turned the tables on Procrustes, fatally adjusting him to fit his ownbed.This text, the first monograph on Procrustes methods, unifies several strands in the literature and contains much new material. It focuses on matching two or moreconfigurations by using orthogonal, projection and oblique axes transformations. Group-average summaries play an important part and links with other group-average methods are discussed. This is the latest in the well-established and authoritative Oxford Statistical Science Series, which includes texts and monographs covering many topics of current research interest in pure and applied statistics. Each title has an original slant even if the material included is not specificallyoriginal. The authors are leading researchers and the topics covered will be of interest to all professional statisticians, whether they be in industry, government department or research institute.
