Críticas:

From the reviews of the third edition:

“The third edition of this book continues the tradition of the authors of a two-column book that really does act as a self-learning text. The left-hand column is like a collection of PowerPoint slides, including generic-style computer output and diagrams to visualize the relationship between concepts. Each chapter contains about 10 exercises, some routine calculation and some asking for explanation of particular points. Answers are provided immediately. ... The reference list includes about 40 items and has been updated to include publications up to 2008.” (Alice Richardson, International Statistical Review, Vol. 79 (2), 2011)
