"Quite simply, this book is a masterwork. It is an essential resource for anyone
who models data, or creates applications which require reference to, or make use
of, statistical distribution functions or random variable sampling/generation.
The accompanying PC program is a true application in its own right, neat, tidy,
and very, very useful. To have this and the book represents a unique reference
work. The book is easily understandable by undergraduate as well as graduate
scientists and statisticians, and will be an essential part of the toolkit for
professionals working in the quantitative sciences, both applied and
theoretical. I think this is a remarkable achievement for the author who so
obviously has taken great care over many years to assemble and perfect the
software and reference work. This is a book worthy of a prize."

…it seems indeed that the book has a chance of becoming
a highly valued practitioner’s reference … .

I recommend the StatCalc software as a useful
quick way to obtain and/or check (relative) simple
statistical calculations, and the book as its
accompanying manual . . . many statisticians might find
StatCalc a handy addition to their computer
desktops, particularly (in my case) with teaching in
mind!

In summary, this book can be recommended to
statistical practitioners who need a comprehensive yet
brief reference on statistical distributions with
applications.
