Reviews / Votes
From the reviews: "This book claims to concentrate 'on the most important topics' (of Statistics) and explain those 'as deeply as space has allowed'. . in general, the book is quite easy to read, and the cross-references are useful. . In all, it is a useful reference that should be found in many academic and corporate libraries." (Kimmo Vehkalahti, International Statistical Review, Vol. 76 (3), 2008) "The aim has been to provide a short and concise encyclopaedia for those who do not wish to purchase any of the several large or multi-volume encyclopaedias in the field. . I am inclined to see this as a library reference book for most scientists. Practising statisticians, particularly those teaching, will probably find this a useful reference book with its original references . worked through mathematical aspects and worked examples."
