Procrustean methods are used to transform one set of data to represent another set of data as closely as possible. The name derived from the Greek myth where Procrustes invited passers-by in for a pleasant meal and a night's rest on a magical bed that would exactly fit any guest. He then either stretched the guest on a rack or cut off their legs to make them fit perfectly into the bed. Theseus turned the tables on Procrustes, fatally adjusting him to fit his own bed. The text is the first systematic overview of Procrustean methods in one volume, presenting a unifying Analysis of Variance framework for different matching methods and the development of statistical tests.
