"""Overall, the book provides a sound basis on which one can build when dealing with real data…I take pleasure in recommending this well-written text."" -Rainer Schlittgen in Statistical Papers ""This book provides an excellent introduction to statistical inference…Thanks to the clear and relatively complete treatment of many of the main ideas in this area, even theoretically oriented readers may find this book worthwhile."" -Mark Steel, Mathematical Reviews"
