<p>From the reviews:</p>
<p>JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN STATISTICAL ASSOCIATION</p>
<p>"…clearly written and accessible with relatively few mathematical prerequisites. I found surprisingly few typographical errors; the authors are to be congratulated for this…Each chapter contains numerous exercises. These exercises appear to be at an appropriate level for a graduate course in statistics, and appear to provide appropriate reinforcement for the material in the preceding chapters."</p>

<p>"The book is well written, and presents clearly an important and developing subject."<br /></p>
