Rezensionen

'This book presents a rigorous and comprehensive coverage of the concepts underlying modern statistical inference, and provides a lucid exposition of the fundamental concepts. A distinguishing feature of the book is the large number of thoughtfully constructed examples, which go a long way towards aiding the reader in understanding and assimilating the concepts. As no particular domain expertise is assumed other than probability theory, the book should be widely accessible to a broad readership.' Kannan Ramchandran, University of California, Berkeley
