Author Description

Revised and expanded, this popular text explores the basic methodology of paired comparisons, incorporating recent developments in research by statisticians, psychometricians, mathematicians, and economists. The emphasis continues to be on nonparametric procedures that are widely applicable, and on the analogy between comparisons and tournaments. Design, analysis, and the choice of probability models are fully discussed. The number of bibliographical references has nearly doubled since the book first appeared. This extensive reference work will interest readers from many fields, including statistics, psychometrics, epidemiology, and economics.
