Summary:"The most efficient and powerful statistical techniques are of little value unless application is possible within the resources of the statistical worker and, since statistical data are highly perishable in nature, unless the analysis can be accomplished in a minimum of time. A major obstacle to the use of important techniques available to the statistician often is the cost and time involved in the calculations necessary to complete the analysis. Many of these calculations can be simplified by resort to tables in which the required values are supplied directly without computation. There are innumerable tables that are of value for such uses. This book contains a selection of the most frequently used tables. Many other tables of great value had to be excluded in order to keep the size and cost of one volume within the bounds of utility. It is hoped that this collection of tables will not only facilitate the application of statistical methods but will also result in a more widespread usage of these powerful tools of analysis"--Preface.
