Review

Sheshkin's handbook has been considered a standard in the field of applied statistics, and the new material in this edition makes it a very worthwhile book. ... very organized and easy to follow. ... This handbook is carefully edited, and is written in a clear, jargon-free style. ... It is a useful reference book for practicing researcher as well as students who are just learning how to analyze statistics in a variety of fields. It is recommended for academic and special libraries, even libraries that already own the first or second edition of this title.

... useful to those wanting a single-volume reference on classical hypothesis tests...

A reference and teaching volume with so many strengths ... certainly a book that would be used repeatedly ... with its comprehensive information, integrative discussions, and well-directed reference lists following each test ... [it] provides the researcher in behavioral and medical sciences with a wealth of information ...

... a perfect guide to understanding and choosing the appropriate statistical test ... lays down clearly the basic foundation behind any statistical analyses by providing clearly the guidance to choose the right statistical method ... I strongly recommend this book for students who are taking statistics classes.

... useful to non-statisticians who want an in-depth understanding of the statistical tests that they use.
-Biometrics, Vol. 57, No. 3, September 2001

...an impressive compendium...The author has given much care to organization, notational consistency, convenience, user-friendliness, and examples in each chapter describing the tests. Consistent with the author's objectives, researchers from various applied fields who want to know about a particular statistical procedure will find this book quite useful...
