Negative Positive
Title: Hardly an introduction
Review: This book seems to be the standard detection and estimation text (it was used in a graduate-level EE course at my university). This is unfortunate as it's a pretty bad book. While the author is obviously knowledgeable about the subject matter, the writing is terse and unenlightening. There are many leaps taken with little explanation and lots of assumption. Although this is probably a decent reference book for those already familiar with detection and estimation theory, it makes an extremely poor choice for a class.
Is the review positive or negative?
