The original version of the book was inadvertently published without updating the following corrections:

Preface and Chapter 1:

A url for accessing data and code appears at the bottom or page vii of Preface and at the bottom of page 4 in Chapter 1. Unfortunately, the url contains ‘&’ and this has caused difficulties for navigation.

It should read :

Chapter 5:

Eqn 5.11 on p 62 reads:

$$\displaystyle{ g(y) = 1 -\exp \left [\left (-y/\sigma \right )^{-b}\right ]\ ,\ \ 0 \leq y \leq w\ . }$$

It should read:

$$\displaystyle{ g(y) = 1 -\exp \left [-\left (y/\sigma \right )^{-b}\right ]\ ,\ \ 0 \leq y \leq w\ . }$$

In the caption to Fig 5.2 on p 63, the eqn

$$\displaystyle{g(y) = 1 -\exp \left [(-y/\sigma )^{-b}\right ]}$$

It should read:

$$\displaystyle{g(y) = 1 -\exp \left [-(y/\sigma )^{-b}\right ]}$$

Eqn 5.41 on p 83 reads:

$$\displaystyle{ g(y_{i},\mathbf{z}_{i}) = 1 -\exp \left [\left (-y_{i}/\sigma (\mathbf{z}_{i})\right )^{-b}\right ]\ \ 0 \leq y_{ i} \leq w\ . }$$

It should read:

$$\displaystyle{ g(y_{i},\mathbf{z}_{i}) = 1 -\exp \left [-\left (y_{i}/\sigma (\mathbf{z}_{i})\right )^{-b}\right ]\ \ 0 \leq y_{ i} \leq w\ . }$$
