Reviews

Praise for the First Edition:"… written in a clear and lucid style … an excellent candidate for a beginning level graduate textbook on statistical methods … a useful reference for practitioners."
—Zentralblatt für Mathematik"Being devoted to students mainly, each chapter includes illustrative examples and exercises. The most important thing about this book is that it provides traditional tools for future approaches in the big data domain since, as the author says, the machine learning techniques are directly based on the fundamental statistical methods."
