This is the third volume of a collection of seminal papers in the statistical science written during the past 110 years. These papers have each had an outstanding influence on the development of statistical theory and practice over the last century. Each paper is preceded by an introduction written by an authority in the field providing background information and assessing its influence.

Klappentext

Volume III includes more selections of articles that have initiated fundamental changes in statistical methodology. It contains articles published before 1980 that were overlooked in the previous two volumes plus articles from the 1980's - all of them chosen after consulting many of today's leading statisticians.

Zusammenfassung
This is a third in a series of reprints of classic articles in statistics with original introductions by many leading researchers. These volumes are useful references for graduate students and researchers in statistics.
