Narayanaswamy Balakrishnan & V. B. Nevzorov 
A Primer on Statistical Distributions 

Designed as an introduction to statistical distribution
theory.

* Includes a first chapter on basic notations and definitions that
are essential to working with distributions.

* Remaining chapters are divided into three parts: Discrete
Distributions, Continuous Distributions, and Multivariate
Distributions.

* Exercises are incorporated throughout the text in order to
enhance understanding of materials just taught.
