Parameter Estimation for Scientists and Engineers

"Despite its lean size, the book is able to cover many of the techniques and theories in parameter estimation that are core to applied sciences, and so this is certainly a valuable reference for researchers and graduate students alike. The book's exposition is lucid, making it an accessible reading for someone with a reasonable background in elementary statistics. Thus I think anyone in applied sciences and engineering dealing with the implementation of expectation models and aiming to estimate model parameters will find this book helpful. This is a great addition to resources in learning or reviewing statistical tools that emphasize taking advantage of valuable information from data and improving the precision of estimation." (Technometrics, November 2008)

"I highly recommend this book to practitioners who want to systematically learn and use, new, better techniques for parameter estimation." (Computing Reviews, September 10, 2008)

"…appropriate for students in advanced applied statistics courses…even more useful as a supplemental resource…" (CHOICE, January 2008)
