Review
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.

Book Description
Using table values, important formulas, and statistical distribution results, this handbook presents both common and specialized probability distribution models as well as applications with practical examples. It provides comprehensive coverage of plots of probability density functions, methods of computing probability and percentiles, algorithms for random number generation, and inference, including point estimation, hypothesis tests, and sample size determination. The author also offers a simple PC calculator that computes table values and other statistics for almost all probability distributions.
