xii Preface<br />

Chapters 1 and 2 are on “probability”, some <strong>of</strong> their focus is more on what<br />

is usually covered in “statistics” courses, such as families <strong>of</strong> distributions, in<br />

particular, the exponential class <strong>of</strong> families.<br />

My notes on these courses are available at<br />
