The Wiley Classics Library consists of selected books that have
become recognized classics in their respective fields. With these
new unabridged and inexpensive editions, Wiley hopes to extend the
life of these important works by making them available to future
generations of mathematicians and scientists.

This title addresses those basic aspects of research design
which are common to many related fields in the social sciences,
health sciences, education, and market research. The work presents
a unified approach to a common core of problems of statistical
design that exists in all these fields, along with basic
similarities in practical solutions. Describing many examples and
analogies that are 'portable' from application field to application
field, Statistical Design for Research deals with designs that are
the primary basis of research studies, but are neglected in most
statistical textbooks that tend to concentrate on statistical
analysis. This text takes a broader, more general and philosophical
view of the statistics for the more fundamental aspects of design
than do the standard treatments of experimental design. Extensively
illustrated and carefully organized into seven chapters and 44
sections, this book can be readily consulted by research workers or
graduate students!
