by G. S. Maddala (Author), Kajal Lahiri (Author)
Maintaining G.S. Maddala's brilliant expository style of cutting through the technical superstructure to reveal only essential details, while retaining the nerve centre of the subject matter, Professor Kajal Lahiri has brought forward this new edition of one of the most important textbooks in its field.
The new edition continues to provide a large number of worked examples, and some shorter data sets. Further data sets and additional supplementary material to assist both the student and lecturer are available on the companion website www.wileyeurope.com/college/maddala
