Title: Written by a mathematician for mathematicians
Review: The intended audience of this book are mathematicians. To understand this book, you should have prior coursework experience in at least several upper division undergraduate courses in mathematical statistics and probability theory. The structure of this book is also that of a typical math book; full of proposition, corollary, lemma, etc, and very limited use of illustrations (e.g., there is no single figure up to chapter 6).I wanted a book with a mathematical sophistication simliar to Durbin's book, but this book is way more than that. On the other hand, I showed this book to a mathematics graduate student and she said this book is perfect for her. So I guess this book is written by a mathematician only for mathematicians.
Is the review positive or negative?
