4 out of 5 stars definitely technical   January 3, 2007

but accessible if you have the appropriate background. A great treatment of the underlying theory, without too much obfuscation. The authors include many interesting examples and make available SAS code on their website.


3 out of 5 stars Not sure about the book   November 24, 2006

This book was recommended to me by Amazon. It looks very attractive as I would like to learn more about this area.

However, when I clicked on the sample pages online and read the first example, I realized there are typos already. First, the second covariance function should not have a conditional line, it is meant to illustrate the correlation or covariance between two observations in the same experimental unit, unconditionally. Second, I think the second covariance function is missing the tau_i which generates another variance component in the covariance function. This looks disappointing and I will not purchase the book now based on what I read.

Author, any thought?
