Editorial ReviewsReviewa comprehensive source of information for life sciences statisticians and statistical consultants to give advice to their research collaborators and clients about experiments that involve stereology…a valuable source of statistical concepts for practitioners in stereology wishing to understand the statistical background of methods used in stereology…written in a practical, applications-oriented approach with a combination of statistical formalism…Stereology for statisticians will certainly be of interest to anyone involved with statistical analysis in life sciences; practitioners in stereology will find an overview of statistical principles of modern stereology with a focus on design-based stereology while statisticians will get an insight into the practical side of stereology and use of statistical theory in stereology.
-Image Analysis and Stereology, June 2005

…obviously an essential volume for stereology practitioners.
-Technometrics, 2005

This book certainly fills an important gap and has no modern competitors. …The book should be of interest to scientists and engineers with a minimum background on calculus, geometry, and probability. …The book definitely contributes to set matters right in a discipline as complex as stereology, which not only encompasses mathematical theory, principles and methods, but also has to cope with the innards of the different sciences it serves, plus laboratory practice, instrumentation, etc. Scientists at large, with or without a direct interest in stereology, should own a copy of this book…
-Statistics in Medicine, 2005

Theoreticians looking for a precise mathematical reference to formalize intuitive geometric ideals will find Stereology for Statisticians up to the task.

Product DescriptionStereology is a series of mathematical methods developed for 3D image analysis, which is often called "sampling in 3 dimensions." Stereological methods are used widely throughout the sciences, particularly in the biological, medical and materials sciences. Currently there is no satisfactory resource on stereology for statisticians that deals with the techniques in a practical, applications-oriented way. Written by the pre-eminent statisticians working in the field, and intended for consultant statisticians, biometricians and quantitative scientists who may encounter stereological data in their work, Stereology for Statisticians fills this gap.
