Books by D.R. Cox

The components of variance is a notion essential to statisticians and quantitative research scientists working in a variety of fields, including the biological, genetic, health, industrial, and psychological sciences. Co-authored by Sir David Cox, the pre-eminent statistician in the field, this book provides in-depth discussions that set forth the essential principles of the subject. It focuses on developing the models that form the basis for detailed analyses as well as on the statistical techniques themselves. The authors include a variety of examples from areas such as clinical trial design, plant and animal breeding, industrial design, and psychometrics.

This volume describes methods for the analysis of relations between a set of variables, with the emphasis mainly on observational studies in the social sciences. Also examined is the role of intermediate variables serving as responses to some variables and as explanatory to others.

This is a revised analysis in which the aspect of primary concern takes one of just two possible forms - success, failure; survives, dies; correct, false; nondefective, defective etc. Such data are called binary methods and it studies how the probability of success depends on explanatory features.
