Review of ´Detection, Estimation, and Modulation Theory, Part I´ (Van Trees, H.; 1968)

The reviewer feels the author has succeeded, where many have failed, in writing a textbook for a course in detection and estimation theory. Derived from course notes, this text includes many of the peripheral structures which make a book suitable for classroom. Among them are numerous examples, over 120 pages of problems and a l2-page glossary of notation. The text is well referenced and is indexed by both subject and author.
