Featuring a comprehensive approach to sample size determination for general statistical use, this book uniquely blends applications from a variety of fields including statistics, biostatistics, the health sciences, and engineering.

The objective of this book is to motivate an appreciation of contemporary statistical techniques within the context of engineering. The author presents an optimum blend between statistical thinking and statistical methodology through emphasis of a broad sweep of "tools" rather than endless streams of seemingly unrelated methods and formulae.

"Over the years, I have had the opportunity to teach several regression courses, and I cannot think of a better undergraduate text than this one. " ( The American Statistician ) "The book is well written and has many exercises. It can serve as a very good textbook for scientists and engineers, with only basic statistics as a prerequisite.
