About this book
Reviews
“This book is an excellent introduction to statistical methods for data analysis in general, not only in particle physics. … The contents are well structured, concise and easily understandable. Particular effort was made in illustrating distinct characters of frequency and Bayesian approaches. … I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in pursuing data analysis in all fields.” (Zhen Mei, zbMATH 1333.81007, 2016)
