Randomization Tests

Building on the previous editions that have served as standard textbooks and references for more than twenty-five years, Randomization Tests, Fourth Edition describes the randomization test theory, clarifies the hypotheses being tested, and discusses the role of random assignment. This edition also features updated material on N-of-1 randomi

Describes the randomization test theory, hypotheses, and the role of random assignment. This work also features material on N-of-1 randomization tests and includes randomization test programs and FORTRAN codes.

Overall, this is an interesting and well-written book that provides a useful discussion of the theory, design, and application of randomization tests, illustrated with appropriate examples using experimental data. The end-of-chapter questions and exercises make it useful also as a textbook for college students. It should be of interest for every experimenter who is interested in randomization or permutation tests or is skeptical about the reliability of the assumptions of parametric tests.
