About the Authors
  • Sir David Cox is one of the seminal statistical thinkers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. In this selection of his work, Professor Cox reviews 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 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. But this collection is more than a record of scientific achievement. Professor Cox's writing is characterised by clarity and wit, so these volumes can be read as much for enjoyment as for edification.

    Reviews & endorsements

    'The style is distinctive: the ideas are at once clearly expressed and at the same time deep and revealing to even experts. A student could do well to adopt these volumes as a major part of the graduate curriculum!' Sankhya: The Indian Journal of Statistics

    'What makes this work of special value is David Cox's willingness to contribute commentaries on the papers … I think many will be pleased to have these two volumes on their bookshelves.' Publication of the International Statistical Institute

    '… David is a statistician's statistician. It is too early to speak of these volumes as a fitting memorial but there is no doubt that they will stand when all our work has become part of that history which David has done so much to create.' David Bartholomew, Sudbury
