This is the most comprehensive and up-to-date treatment of the analysis of variance models I have seen since the publication of the book by Henry Scheffe (1959) which is somewhat out of date. The mathematical and statistical prerequisites of Sahai and Ageel book are just about right for students in substantive fields who wish to take this course after completing one/two semester course in statistical inference. The book is well written and user friendly and contains a large number of worked examples and exercises which have been very helpful to me in assigning homework to my students. The coverage of SAS, SPSS and BMDP packages for performing analysis greatly enhances the practical usefulness of the book beyond any measure. The inclusion of a large number of appendices as review material and up-to-date and complete bibliography including a comprehensive set of statistical tables have immensely increased the reference value of the text. The authors deserve my most sincere and heartiest congratulations. I have prepared a more extensive and complete cirtique of the book for my students which can be obtained by writing to me. Dr. M.M.

This is the right book to use when you start studying Anova models.
(after obtaining the right prerequisites)
Unlike many books on Anova out there this book is highly readable.
It presents the ideas and techniques behind Anova in a clear and cohesive manner.
As an applied stat. phd student I have come across may books on Anova and this one strikes the perfect balance between intuition and rigorous statistics.
Wish I had come across this book earlier.
