Reviews

...the author notes that the text is intended for users who want to know more about how the Monte Carlo model does what it does. He goes on to further describe the book as telling the user how to cope with simulation models that are associated with two or more variables that are correlated and jointly related, that is, are multivariate in nature. The book will also help users who are confronted with a probability distribution that does not comply with those available in the software they are using...I like the fact that the author uses several examples that are fairly easy to follow for the analyst. Problems assigned to each chapter with corresponding solutions are presented in the appendices for the reader to test their knowledge of the material. Technometrics 56:1 2014
