Statistical Distributions in Engineering: Statistics

The author of the book Statistical Distributions in Engineering has stated two basic objectives: text and reference. The book fulfils its objectives as a reference but the number of included distributions could be extended. As a reference, the book could serve a great variety of readers, not limited to engineers only, but to all kind of readers involved in the application of statistics and statistical modelling. I cannot see the book as a text, especially as a primary text. As a supplementary text it could serve as a good and comprehensive reference. I highly appreciate the style, structure and format of the material presentation. The material is highly condensed but it is informative and comprehensive. Its structure allows relevant topics to be searched easily and the uniform format of presentation allows comparision between the properties of different distributions. The large number of well-selected examples illustrates the use of the given probability distribution and also some techniques of building statistical models. I found the examples highly useful.
