The origins of this book go back to the middle 1940s, when the author was Statistician in the Admiralty, and to work done in the middle 1970s, when he was a Senior Research Fellow in the University of Sussex. The earlier work is described, with the necessary background, and with extensive additions, in Part I, while the later work is contained - again with extensions - in Part II.
