“This new approach, developed in part by the authors over the last decade, is a compromise which promotes interpretable, comprehensible and transportable models.” (Zentralblatt Math, 1 October 2013)
“The book is very useful for practicing statisticians and can also be recommended for teaching purposes.” (Biometrical Journal, July 2009)“It is an excellent book on multivariable model-building, presenting the material in an easy-to-understand and informal style.” (Mathematical Reviews, 2009)
"This excellent book fills a gap in the current literature on statistical modelling. It is the first time that a book is devoted to the whole breadth of application of fractional polynomials. The authors are the experts on this useful methodology." (Statistics in Medicine, Feb 2009)
