“The author has created a unique text about classical mathematical statistics which is distinguished by its example-based explanations of concepts and comparatively simple proofs of key results. … this is a unique contribution, with a nice collection of worked examples that should be helpful to students seeking to bridge the gap between example-sparse theoretical texts and mathematically inadequate applied texts.” (Todd Alan Kuffner, Mathematical Reviews, August, 2017)
