Exercises are included throughout the book and selected answers (not solutions) are also provided.
Each section is followed by a selection of problems, from simple to more complex. Almost all statements are backed up with proofs, with the exception of the continuity theorem for moment generating functions, and asymptotic theory for logistic and log-linear models.
The Table of Contents provides flexibility for instructors who use the book for their courses. In the preface the author outlines possible sections to include and/or skip for instructors who have varied course objectives.
Simulations, using S-Plus® , are provided to show that the asymptotic theory provides good approximations. The freely available R software could also be used.
This book provides a large amount of figures, which typically are not found in mathematical statistics books.
