“The book is organized and structured well; most of the chapters are self-contained. This book includes many useful topics and techniques for established, early career researchers and doctoral students alike. … this edited volume will be of interest to researchers working in this area. The book offers substantial and stimulating information and knowledge for the benefit of a host of a larger research group. I enjoyed reading some of the chapters of the book and found them interesting and useful.” (S. Ejaz Ahmed, Technometrics, Vol. 59 (1), January, 2017)
