Self-study and reference. Though not a math major, I have a strong math
background (PhD in Physics). Having switched careers (into mathematical
finance), I need both deeper and broader capability in statistics.
Ideally, I'd like a book which pays enough attention to clarity and
comprehensibility to be useful for self-study, yet which is complete
enough to be usable as a reference.
