Taylor and Francis Baddeley, A: Stereology for Statisticians

Stereology for Statisticians sets out the principles of stereology from a statistical viewpoint, focusing on both basic theory and practical implications. It discusses ways to effectively communicate statistical issues to clients, draws attention to common methodological errors, and provides references to essential literature. The first full text on design-based stereology, it opens with a review of classical and modern stereology, followed by a treatment of its mathematical foundations. It then presents core techniques. The final chapters discuss implementing practical sampling designs, summarize the variance of stereological estimators, and describe open problems for further research.
