Tuesday, January 9, 2001 -- Improved statistical methods can contribute to more realistic solutions of automotive emissions
problems and to improved decision-making and policy setting, according to the new Journal of Transportation and Statistics released today by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Bureau of
