For a reader who is new to this book, we suggest that you read the prefaces to the first and second editions for an overview; what we wrote there is still relevant as an introduction to our subject and the method of the book. For the teacher who has used prior editions, this edition includes 14 new sections, 4 inserts to the statistical text, and 6 new answers, including the following: §3.3.2 (Insert on priors); §3.6 (Insert on the history of the word probability); §4.5.5 Lipitor and diabetes; §6.1.6 Harvard’s affirmative action practices in admissions (with answers); §7.2.2 New York City garbage trucks (with answers); §8.1 (Insert on tests of odds ratio homogeneity); §8. 1.4 Disparate impact of a pre-employment exam on minority applicants (with answers); §8.2.3 Liraglutide and pancreatic cancer; §9.1 (Insert on representative samples); §9.1.11 Reversals in death-penalty cases; §9.2.2 Technology assisted review in e-discovery (with answers); §10.3.6 Asbestos and colon cancer; §13.2.5 Guilty pleas in the federal courts and the IRNC (implicit rate of non-conviction, with answers); §14.1.8 The “financing secured” event study (with answers); and §14.11 Average marginal effects. As in the last edition, each data table that appears in the book is available for download as a plaintext file at http://www.columbia.edu/~bl6/ sfldata.htm. As in prior editions, much of the material for the new portions of this edition was collected and explored with help from statisticians involved in the cases or studies. We thank them all for their generosity in assisting us. In particular, we wish to thank Nathan A. Schachtman, William B. Fairley, Joseph L. Gastwirth, Maura R. Grossman, and Michael Hartzmark for their very helpful contributions to this edition. We especially thank our wives, Vivian Berger and Betty Levin, for their invaluable help and support in preparing this edition.
