"This book provides a step-by-step manual on the application of permutation tests in biology, business, medicine, science, and engineering. Its intuitive and informal style ideally makes it suitable as a text for students and researchers, whether experienced or coming to these resampling methods for the very first time. The real-world problems of missing and censored data, multiple comparisons, nonresponders, after-the-fact covariates, and outliers are dealt with at length."--BOOK JACKET.
