This is the fifth volume in the second edition of the collection of four
books on Distributions in Statistics coauthored by Norman L. Johnson
and Samuel Kotz and published in 1969-1972. The first four volumes in
the second edition are:
Univariate Discrete Distributions
Continuous Univariate Distributions, Volume 1
Continuous Univariate Distributions, Volume 2
Discrete Multivariate Distributions
The present volume is a thorough and comprehensive revision of the last
book in the original series, on Continuous Multivariate Distributions. Pro-
Professor N. Balakrishnan, who joined the original authors for all but the first
volume of the new series (which was coauthored with Professor Adrienne
W. Kemp), has played a prominent role, once again, in this revision.
