"""This is a graduate level/practitioner book in ten chapters covering expected, average and predicted power, assurance and Bayesian power followed by a shift in focus to priors, interim predictions and multiple decision criteria. The final chapter looks at surety. The book is logically laid out, with formulae for the normal theory case, some examples, and helpful figures."" Maia Lesosky, ISCB Book Reviews"
