Media reviews

A well written specialized book by Fleiss et al. illustrates in detail the definitions and importance of rates in health and other data analysis. (Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation, April 2005) "...the definitive text of context, method and application for the efficient analysis of rates and proportions..." (Statistics in Medicine, Vol 24 (17), 15th September 2005) "...well written in a thoroughly readable style. I highly recommend this book..." (Statistical Methods in Medical Research, Vol. 14, 2005) "...persons who regularly encounter this type of data would certainly want this book available as one of their desk-top references." (Technometrics, May 2004)
