Review :
Praise for the First Edition:"… the book has a chance of becoming a highly valued practitioner’s reference …" — "The book is sequentially organized and well structured and many chapters are self-contained. 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. To have this and the book represents a unique reference work. … easily understandable by undergraduate as well as graduate scientists and statisticians … an essential part of the toolkit for professionals working in the quantitative sciences … a remarkable achievement for the author who so obviously has taken great care over many years to assemble and perfect the software and reference work. This is a book worthy of a prize." —Paul Barrett, University of Auckland, New Zealand ". . . the notes on implementation of distributions will be valuable to users seeking efficient ways to model or find the inverse of a wide range of distributions . . . this is a fairly comprehensive reference guide, well organized and with an authoritative style and many examples." —Mark Pilling, Royal Statistical Society Praise for the First Edition:"… the book has a chance of becoming a highly valued practitioner’s reference …" —Journal of the Royal Statistical Society "The book is sequentially organized and well structured and many chapters are self-contained.
