Reviews

From the reviews: This book will be useful for those who are interested in tractable models which allow one to go beyond the normal distribution. (ISI SHORT BOOK REVIEWS) A useful source of information for research in applied and theoretical statistics. No doubt, this volume will become a necessary part of any mathematical and statistical library as well as of a number of technical libraries. (MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS) This book is devoted to presenting properties, generalizations and applications of the Laplace distribution ! This distribution is a natural and sometimes superior alternative to the normal distribution ! The rich set of exercises is an integral part of the discussion. (ZENTRALBLATT MATH)
