Praise for the Second Edition:
The second edition introduces an especially broad set of statistical methods As a lecturer in both transportation and marketing research, I find this book an excellent textbook for advanced undergraduate, Masters and Ph.D. students, covering topics from simple descriptive statistics to complex Bayesian models. It is one of the few books that cover an extensive set of statistical methods needed for data analysis in transportation. The book offers a wealth of examples from the transportation field.

Statistical and Econometric Methods for Transportation Data Analysis, Third Edition
offers an expansion over the first and second editions in response to the recent methodological advancements in the fields of econometrics and statistics and to provide an increasing range of examples and corresponding data sets. It describes and illustrates some of the statistical and econometric tools commonly used in transportation data analysis. It provides a wide breadth of examples and case studies, covering applications in various aspects of transportation planning, engineering, safety, and economics. Ample analytical rigor is provided in each chapter so that fundamental concepts and principles are clear and numerous references are provided for those seeking additional technical details and applications.New to the Third Edition
