Thank you to all of you who replied to my plea about statistics texts
for teaching next year. There were too many of you to thank
individually so please accept my thanks via this e-mail to the list.
For those of you interested in the outcome I append a list of
books/comments ( in no particular order). It is a pretty diverse list -
Rice got several mentions as did Chatfield. I am also sure Hogg and
Craig got a mention.
At present we use Rice and while it is a nice book it is a bit
expensive. Thanks again to you all - I will mull over the list
