All
The latest issue of Radical Statistics (Issue 79/80) is out very very soon.
Apologies for the delay but this was due to various reasons that I won't go
into here. There is a Troika statement about this delay in the issue and I
also mention it in my editorial.
Below is the contents page for this 176 page double-issue - i hope it has
been worth the wait.
The next issue of the journal WILL be out in January 2003 (as I will be
editing it) - please send any articles for inclusion by early December 2002.
If anyone wants to buy a copy (and you aren't already a subscriber) then it
is only £5 a copy. Please e-mail Pete on [log in to unmask] for details.
There will be some extra copies available but not a huge number (so get in
quick).
Best wishes,
Colin Clark, Editor.
