I've read this book a number of times since I first discovered it a few years ago. The story & characters stay at the edge of my memory and as the details get blurry, I take it out & read it again.

F. Seber, C. J. Wild Wiley-Interscience, 2003 excellent coverage by accomplished authors I have recently reviewed for amazon the texts by Gallant and the one by Bates and Watts.
