Selected Statistical Papers of Sir David Cox Edited by D. J. Hand and A. M. Herzberg In this selection of his work, Professor Cox reviews 86 of his most influential and interesting papers published before 1993. Each paper is the subject of a candid commentary written especially for this collection. In these commentaries he describes the context in which the papers arose and their subsequent influence. He also identifies avenues for future research. Organised in two volumes and grouped by theme, the papers and commentaries provide excellent coverage of many of the most significant advances in statistics in recent times. Professor Cox's writing is characterized by clarity and wit, so these volumes can be read as much for enjoyment as for edification. The volumes include, among many others, the landmark papers 'Regression models and life-tables' and 'An analysis of transformations' with G. E. P. Box. Either volume can be bought separately, or they can be bought together at a discounted price.
