Reviews
Fundamentals of probability and modeling are presented in a rigorous language and the transition to more advanced chapters is almost smooth. Explanations are precise, both verbally and mathematically. Throughout the book, cross-references are made so that the reader can find further or related topics in other parts of the book. Readers interested in mathematical rigor will find this book rewarding. ...Another strength of the book lies in the wealth and variety of exercises at the end of each chapter. The exercises (some with complete solutions) range from mathematical proofs and model building to programming. Solutions for select problems are presented at the end of the book. ... [This] book is outstanding in terms of coverage of topics, rigorous language and integration of computation. (Abdolvahab Khademi, Journal of Statistical Software, August 2015)
