This is author-approved bcc: This is the third volume of a
collection of seminal papers in the statistical science written
during the past 110 years. These papers have each had an
outstanding influence on the development of statistical theory and
practice over the last century. Each paper is preceded by an
introduction written by an authority in the field providing
background information and assessing its influence. Volume III
concertrates on articles from the 1980's while including some
earlier articles not included in Volumes I and II. Samuel Kotz is
Professor of Statistics in the College of Business and Management
at the University of Maryland. Norman L. Johnson is Professor
Emeritus of Statistics at the University of North Carolina. Also

A solid, rigorous, yet comprehensible analysis of process
capability indices, this work bridges the gap between theoretical
statisticians and quality control practitioners, showing how an
understanding of these indices can lead to process improvement.
Geometry of Derivation with Applications is the fifth work in a
longstanding series of books on combinatorial geometry (Subplane
Covered Nets, Foundations of Translation Planes, Handbook of Finite
Translation Planes, and Combinatorics of Spreads and Parallelisms).
Like its predecessors, this book will primarily deal with
connections to the theory of derivable nets and translation planes
in both the finite and infinite cases. Translation planes over
non-commutative skewfields have not traditionally had a significant
representation in incidence geometry, and derivable nets over
skewfields have only been marginally understood. Both are deeply
examined in this volume, while ideas of non-commutative algebra are
also described in detail, with all the necessary background given a
geometric treatment. The book builds upon over twenty years of work
concerning combinatorial geometry, charted across four previous
books and is suitable as a reference text for graduate students and
researchers. It contains a variety of new ideas and generalizations
of established work in finite affine geometry and is replete with
examples and applications.

This book provides a survey of recent methodology, both theoretical
and applied, regarding the statistical analysis and detection of
defective (non-conforming) items in various types of inspection for
attributes, when the inspection itself is subject to error. This
error can be of two kinds: false positive (classifying
non-defective as defective) and false negative (classifying
defective as non-defective).

McCrimmon, having gotten Grierson's attention, continued: "A
breakthrough, you say? If it's in economics, at least it can't be
dangerous. Nothing like gene engineering, laser beams, sex hormones
or international relations. That's where we don't want any
breakthroughs. " (Galbraith, 1. K. (1990) A Tenured Profes- sor,
Houghton Mifflin; Boston. ) To judge [astronomy] in this way [a
narrow utilitarian point of view] demon- strates not only how poor
we are, but also how small, narrow, and indolent our minds are; it
shows a disposition always to calculate the payolTbefore the work,
a cold heart and a lack of feeling for everything that is great and
honors man. One can unfortunately not deny that such a mode of
thinking is not uncommon in our age, and I am convinced that this
is closely connected with the catastro- phes which have befallen
many countries in recent times; do not mistake me, I do not talk of
the general lack of concern for science, but of the source from
which all this has come, of the tendency to everywhere look out for
one's advan- tage and to relate everything to one's physical
well-being, of the indilTerence towards great ideas, ofthe aversion
to any elTort which derives from pure enthu- siasm: I believe that
such attitudes, if they prevail, can be decisive in catas- trophes
of the kind we have experienced. [Gauss, K. F. : Astronomische An-
trittsvorlesung (cited from Buhler, W. K. (1981) Gauss: A
Biographical Study, Springer: New York)].

This work confronts the question of geometric processes of
derivation, specifically the derivation of affine planes - keying
in on construction techniques and types of transformations in which
lines of a newly-created plane can be understood as subplanes of
the original plane. The book provides a theory of subplane covered
nets without restriction to the finite case or imposing
commutativity conditions.
