Product Description

Review
[T]his book is perfectly appropriate as a textbook for an introductory course on computational statistics. It covers many useful topics, which in combination with the well-documented code, make the underlying concepts easy to grasp by the students. Overall, this is a very nice book to be used in an undergraduate or Masters level computational statistics course. It would also prove useful to researchers in other fields that want to learn and implement quickly some advanced statistical techniques.

Product Description
Focusing on the computational aspects of statistics rather than the theoretical, this book uses a down-to-earth approach that makes statistics accessible to a wide range of users. The authors integrate the use of MATLAB throughout the book, which allows readers to see the implementation of algorithms, and also include step-by-step procedures that allow implementation using any suitable software. Emphasis on the practical aspects, details of the techniques, and real implementation experience make this not just the first book to use MATLAB to solve computational problems in statistics but also an outstanding introduction to statistics for anyone in the many disciplines that involve data analysis.

3.0 out of 5 stars Type as you read, 26 Jan 2003

By	Alonso (Toulouse France) - See all my reviews

This book has proven very useful to me as it has allowed me to understand several computer intensive statistics through MATLAB. I have even successfully analysed my own data just following and slightly modifying the code. The secret to appreciate it is not to read it as a conventional book but to type every code using your MATLAB environment. I resolved to arrive two hours earlier than usual to my office since few months ago and every day I followed it page by page, code by code. For that you have to use the HELP on line command in order to find out why or how was done it, take out the semicolon at the end of every command and to see what came about, etc. And in that way, the book is excellent.

Not everything is stated on it, I guess that learning maths involves to think by yourself why you are doing this, and a lot of that is left to readers who really want to learn. Sometimes in two hours I ran through 10 pages, sometimes only half a page. I found a great aid to have the code perfectly dissected and I feel now sort of MATLAB basic literate.

The big, big, large and huge problem with this book is its big, big, large and huge price, which I found exaggerated,
especially for a PhD student like me.
