David A. Freedman was Professor of Statistics at the Universityof California, Berkeley. He also taught in Athens, Caracas,Jerusalem, Kuwait, London, and Mexico City. He is the author ofseveral books, including a widely-used elementary text. He hasabout 200 papers in the professional literature, and was amember of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. In 2003, hereceived the John J. Carty Award for the Advancement of Sciencefrom the National Academy of Sciences, recognizing hisprofound contributions to the theory and practice ofstatistics.
Freedman worked on martingale inequalities, Markov processes,de Finettis theorem, consistency of Bayes estimates, sampling,the bootstrap, procedures for testing and evaluating models,census adjustment, epidemiology, statistics and the law. Hisresearch interests included methods for causal inference,and the behavior of standard statistical models undernon-standard conditions; for example, how do regression modelsbehave when fitted to data from randomized experiments? (Not asexpected, is the short answer.)
Freedman consulted for the Carnegie Commission, the City ofSan Francisco, and the Federal Reserve, as well as severaldepartments of the U.S. government. He testified as an expertwitness on statistics in law cases that involve employmentdiscrimination, fair loan practices, duplicate signatures onpetitions, railroad taxation, ecological inference, flightpatterns of golf balls, price scanner errors, sampling techniques,and census adjustment.

This book describes the important ideas in a variety of fields such as medicine, biology, finance, and marketing in a common conceptual framework. While the approach is statistical, the emphasis is on concepts rather than mathematics. Many examples are given, with a liberal use of colour graphics. It is a valuable resource for statisticians and anyone interested in data mining in science or industry. The book's coverage is broad, from supervised learning (prediction) to unsupervised learning. The many topics include neural networks, support vector machines, classification trees and boosting---the first comprehensive treatment of this topic in any book.
This major new edition features many topics not covered in the original, including graphical models, random forests, ensemble methods, least angle regression & path algorithms for the lasso, non-negative matrix factorisation, and spectral clustering. There is also a chapter on methods for "wide'' data (p bigger than n), including multiple testing and false discovery rates.
Trevor Hastie, Robert Tibshirani, and Jerome Friedman are professors of statistics at Stanford University. They are prominent researchers in this area: Hastie and Tibshirani developed generalized additive models and wrote a popular book of that title. Hastie co-developed much of the statistical modeling software and environment in R/S-PLUS and invented principal curves and surfaces. Tibshirani proposed the lasso and is co-author of the very successful An Introduction to the Bootstrap. Friedman is the co-inventor of many data-mining tools including CART, MARS, projection pursuit and gradient boosting.

David A. Freedman (1938-2008) was a Professor of Statistics at the University of California, Berkeley. A distinguished mathematical statistician, he revolutionized the teaching of statistics with his undergraduate (new edition, 2007) and graduate (new edition, 2009) textbooks that emphasize clear reasoning over mere technique and that use numerous illustrations and empirical examples that are vivid, real, and up-to-date. Freedman also published widely on the application--and misapplication--of statistics in the social sciences. This major aspect of his work is synthesized in his book "Statistical Models and Causal Inference" (2009). Freedman was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and in 2003 received the National Academy of Science's John J. Carty Award for his "profound contributions to the theory and practice of statistics."
