It includes many useful results that are handy for students and practitioners alike....I must say, it is a very useful and handy book for commonly used probability distributions, a one-stop shop! ...this is a valuable contribution to [the] scientific community, providing up-to-date coverage on probability distributions and their applications in a systematic fashion. I would like to see this book on my desk! -S.E. Ahmed, Technometrics, July 2016 Journal of the Royal Statistical Society I recommend the StatCalc software as a useful quick way to obtain and/or check (relative) simple statistical calculations, and the book as its accompanying manual ... many statisticians might find StatCalc a handy addition to their computer desktops, particularly (in my case) with teaching in mind! -M.C. Jones, Journal of Applied Statistics, January 2008 ... recommended to statistical practitioners who need a comprehensive yet brief reference on statistical distributions with applications. -Brian Wiens, The American Statistician, November 2007 Quite simply, this book is a masterwork. ... an essential resource for anyone who models data, or creates applications that require reference to or make use of statistical distribution functions or random variable sampling/generation. The accompanying PC program is a true application in its own right: neat, tidy, and very, very useful.
