Negative Positive
Title: Written by statisticians for statisticians, not under grads
Review: Positive aspects: Many examples for practice.Negative aspects: Definition of terms are too complex and require further explanation. Most definition of terms refer to terms defined in previous chapters. This causes far too much searching and flipping through pages looking for previously defined terms. Guaranteed headache in 2.5 minutes.Recommendation: Only read if you are a hard core statistician. I had to suffer through this book only because it was required reading for an undergraduate statistics class at the university I attend. My classmates and I have asked our instuctor to never use this book again for an undergraduate level class. Ten editions and they still can't get it right!
