In this second edition many chapters now include considerable new material, especially in areas concerning the theory and practice of confidence intervals, including the important Feldman–Cousins method. Both frequentist and Bayesian methodologies are presented, with a strong emphasis on techniques that are useful to physicists and other scientists in the interpretation of experimental data and comparison with scientific theories. This textbook is suitable for advanced graduate students in the physical sciences, as well as a reference for active researchers.
