Identifying the sources and measuring the impact of haphazard variations are important in any number of research applications from clinical trials and genetics to industrial design and psychometric testing. Only in very simple situations can such variations be represented effectively by independent identically distributed random variables or by random sampling from a hypothetical infinite population. Components of Variance illuminates the complexities of the subject setting forth its principles with focus on both the development of models for detailed analyses and the statistical techniques themselves. The authors first consider balanced and unbalanced situations then move to the treatment of non-normal data beginning with the Poisson and binomial models and followed by extensions to survival data and more general situations. In the final chapter they discuss ways of extending and assessing various models including the study of exceedances the use of nonlinear representations the study of transformations of the response variable and the detailed examination of the distributional form of the underlying random variables. Careful signposting and numerous examples from genetic data analysis clinical trial design longitudinal data analysis industrial design and meta-analysis make this book accessible - and valuable - not only to statisticians but to all applied research scientists who use statistical methods.

If the buyer changes their mind about a purchase and wants to return an item, they may need to pay return postage costs, depending on the seller's return policy. Sellers can provide a return postage address and additional return postage information for the buyer. Sellers pay for return postage if there's a problem with the item. For example, if the item doesn't match the listing description, is damaged or defective or is counterfeit. By law, customers in the European Union also have the right to cancel the purchase of an item within 14 days beginning from the day you receive, or a third party indicated by you (other than the carrier) receives, the last good ordered by you (if delivered separately). This applies to all products except for digital items (e.g. Digital Music) that are provided immediately to you with your acknowledgement, and other items such as video, DVD, audio, video games, Sex and Sensuality products and software products where the item has been unsealed.
Sellers have to offer a refund for certain items only if they are faulty, such as: Personalised items and custom-made items, Perishable items, Newspapers and magazines, Unwrapped CDs DVDs and computer software. If you used your PayPal balance or bank account to fund the original payment, the refunded money will go back to your PayPal account balance. If you used a credit or debit card to fund the original payment, the refunded money will go back to your card. The seller will effect the refund within three working days but it may take up to 30 days for Paypal to process the transfer.
