The use of superpopulation models is covered in detail along with recent developments including estimation of distribution functions, adaptive sampling schemes etc. New to the Second Edition: * Contents reorganized to establish a coherent link between various concepts * Several numerical examples associated with real life solutions for bringing out the relevance of theory in real life context
