4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent reference and text, October 4, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Forecasting, Principles, and Application (w/disk) (Hardcover)
I have a recent PhD in mathematics and some knowledge of basic statistics, but I had never learned any forecasting techniques.
I needed a good reference tool and a textbook for selfstudy. Mr Delurgio's book fits both. I have used many textbooks over my extended student life and this textbook fits all the requirements to be a well-used and often-consulted volume.
It is clearly written. There are many exercises for a simple spreadsheet program -- even if you have lost the enclosed data diskette, all the information is available for downloading from Mr Delurgio's website (accessible from the publisher's website). The index is clearly organised and exhaustive, and each chapter has a quick reference page of formulae and concepts -- perfect for review or for reference.
I strongly recommend this book for working on your own, and if you have to take a class in forecasting, you won't be disappointed if this is the text your instructor has chosen.
