Rezensionen

From the reviews:
"Suess and Trumbo's book 'Introduction to Probability Simulation and Gibbs Sampling with R,' part of the 'Use R!' series, fits precisely into this framework of learning by doing-and doing again, with different distributions, or different parameters, or under different scenarios. ... The book also contains an Appendix with an introduction to R, which should make it particularly attractive to students, who won't have to go to another source to learn about the basics. ... an overall very useful book." (Nicole Lazar, Technometrics, Vol. 53 (3), August, 2011)
