"· Many additional real data sets to illustrate statistical methods or compare methods.
· Expanded use of the statistical software R, a powerful statistical language which is free and can run on all three main platforms.
· Expanded discussion of iterated integrals, with added figures to clarify discussion.
· Several important topics have been added, including a subsection on the bivariate normal distribution, Tukey's multiple comparison procedure and confidence intervals for the correlation coefficients.
· Discussion on standard errors for estimates obtained by bootstrapping the sample is now included."
