Cox D.R., Snell E.J. Analysis of Binary Data

London New York. Chapman and Hall. 1989, 247 pp.
The first edition of this book (1970) set out a systematic basis for the analysis of binary data and in particular for the study of how the probability of "success" depends on explanatory variables. The first edition has been widely used and the general level and style have been preserved in the second edition which contains a substantial amount of new material. This amplifies matters dealt with only cryptically in the first edition and deals with many more recent developments. Also the whole material has been reorganized, in particular to put more emphasis on maximum likelihood methods.
There are nearly 60 further results and exercises. The main points are illustrated by practical examples, many of them not in the first edition, and some general essential background material is set out in new Appendices.
A complete list of titles in this series appears at the front of the boook.
