Deals with the difficulties that comparative observational studies have because of bias in their design and analysis. Systematically considers the many sources of bias and discusses how care in matching or adjustment of results can reduce the effects of bias in these investigations. 410 0$aWiley series in probability and mathematical statistics. 606 $aAnalysis of variance 606 $aExperimental design 615 0$aAnalysis of variance. 615 0$aExperimental design. 676 $a001.4 676 $a001.42 676 $a519.5352 700 $aCochran$b William G$g(William Gemmell),$f1909-1980.$03179 701 $aMoses$b Lincoln E$0103130 701 $aMosteller$b Frederick$f1916-2006.$045482 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910144696203321 996 $aPlanning and analysis of observational studies$92163519 997 $aUNINA
