Foreword

This book is an authoritative addition to the literature on measurement error and misclassification. I like to think of the field more broadly as statistical analysis when variables are subject to uncertainty of measurement, although the context of measurement error and misclassification is different from the context of uncertainty quantification in applied mathematics and computer modeling. This book differs considerably from previous books by Fuller (1987), Carroll et al. (1995, 2006), Gustafson (2004), and Buonaccorsi (2010) because of its comprehensive overview of topics in lifetime data analysis, often called survival analysis. If they touch at all on this important topic, which has quite a large literature, they touch it only very lightly. Grace Yi
