Review title: Great on review; terrible in introducing the target subject matter
Product review: This book is simply "okay." It is formatted nicely and easy to look at. The first few chapters on the review of statistics is generally nice (and even led me to question the negative reviews from others until I progressed further).Mid-way through Chapter 6, just about when stationarity is introduced, the text becomes useless to anyone who is not familiar with the subject matter. Intuition is none-existent in the topics presented - to the extent that I was confused by the presentation of subjects that I was already strong with.I am told Gardner's book is an excellent book with deep intuition; I have ordered it and will read it with the possibility of returning to peebles after I have a much better idea of what's going on.
