Amazing!,

This review is from: Encyclopedia of Statistical Sciences (Hardcover)
This is a volume with definitions of most statistical
terms. Some are missing, such as: Definition of chutzpah: someone who asks 4000 dollars for a 9000-page encyclopedia which was obtained by asking hundreds of statisticians to volunteer sections for free. Definition of mensch: someone who writes surveys on his field of expertise and places it on some web site for the whole world to enjoy. Luc Devroye, Montreal
