Summary: comprehensive treatment of the theory of record values
Comment: Records when analyzed in terms of sequences of events over time fall into the theory of extreme values. Resnick, Arnold and others have contributed to this theory. This book provides a comprehensive and current account of the theory. There are interesting questions about how long it takes to break a record or how high a record will go. People are particularly interested in this in sports where such records are often kept and publicized. The book is great for researchers and probabilists interested in the mathematical theory. I would have like to see more applications.

Rating: 5
Summary: Comprehensive text on record value theory
Comment: The authors have included all mayor topics of the statistical theory of record values and record related statistics up to date. The book constitutes a good text for a graduate-level course on record value theory. However, it is also an essential reference for researchers in the area. Be aware that it is targeted to students and professionals in statistics and scientists requiring statistical analysis (using records). It is not a collection of sensational world record data.
