"The book provides an excellent introduction for researchers approaching the concept of bioequivalence and is a complete and useful compendium for experienced statisticians." (Biometrical Journal, April 2009) "The book provides an excellent introduction for researchers approaching the concept of bioequivalence and is a complete and useful compendium for experienced statisticians." (Biometrical Journal, April 2009) "The book provides an important reference providing many worked examples with real data from drug development. Professionals from the harmaceutical industry and regulatory bodies will particularly appreciate the emphasis made on regulatory guidelines." (Statistical Methods in Medical Research, February 2009) "I recommend the book as an extensive reference on bioequivalence and as informative reading for a student or professional who is already acquainted with the basics of clinical trials." (Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, October 2008) "For anyone interested in any aspect of bioequivalence, the book is a very valuable reference." (International Statistical Review, 2007) "...my pleasure to review...I would like to add this book to my book collection of pharmaceutical research and development." (Biometrics, September 2007) "...those statisticians working in this area of research will find that this book will serve as a an excellent reference..." (Journal of Biopharmaceutical Statistics, Jan 2008)
