Comprehensive and up-to-date,
By
This review is from: Handbook of the Normal Distribution (Statistics: A Series of Textbooks and Monographs) (Hardcover)
This book provides the most comprehensive and in-depth treatment of the univariate and bivariate Normal distributions (for multivariate Normal see a book by Y. L. Tong). Both probability and statistics applications are considered. If you need an even deeper treatment, virtually every formula cites a source. This is a great reference book.
