Media Reviews
I wish I had owned this book in graduate school. Instead of searching for busy professors to answer my statistical questions, I could have obtained timely and easy-to-understand answers in the page of this well-written and user-friendly text. -- C. Keith Haddock It is more than a reference work. It is a very well-written general work on statistics problems. -- W. Paul Vogt
