Reviews & endorsements
"Professors Hand and Herzberg should be thanked for the efforts which have culminated with the publication of these two volumes. The work presents eighty-six of David Cox's papers, selected from those published up to the end of 1993. Also included is a complete list of David Cox's publications through 2004. There can be little doubt that the papers of David Cox provide a rich vein of statistical insight and their availability, in a very convenient form, will be very much appreciated by current and future statistical researchers...What makes this work of special value is David Cox's willingness to contribute commentaries on the papers...the task of providing the commentaries has been taken seriously and provides valuable additional insight and perspective on the papers, as well as some personal recollections."
