“This textbook is an introductory one which is intended first of all for researchers, analysts and practitioners in finance and economics which are not going to become professional statisticians. … the author introduces the readers to the complex technology through many examples and exercises which are simple and explicit at the beginning and grow up to nontrivial problems of economic practice.” (Vladimir Gorbunov, zbMATH 1407.62008, 2019)
