Leslie Kish cover

Leslie Kish formulated, among other things, the "margin of error," an assessment of the accuracy of opinion polls. He was elected president of the American Statistical Association; and was a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences; the American Association for the Advancement of Science; and the Royal Statistical Society of England.  A co-founder of the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan and of the International Association of Survey Statisticians, Kish was at once a remarkable teacher, thinker, and leader in the field of survey statistics. This volume collects, for the first time, Kish's most important papers.

“…bringing together a lifetime of research and practice, this volume is both a fitting tribute…and a highly useful…compilation of insight into the art and science of survey statistics…” (Zentralbaltt MATH, June 2005)

“...collects, for the first time, the most important and influential papers by Leslie Kish...the editors have been immensely successful in bringing out this volume which will find a place on the bookshelf of every serious reader in the field.” (Mathematical Reviews, 2004c)
