Statistical Methods for Data Analysis in Particle Physics (Lecture Notes in Physics Book 909)

This is a very short but interesting book about statistical methods in physics, particularly in high energy physics. The book is present with a modern perspective; explain a little bit some very recent techniques and discussions about statistical techniques especially in the field of estimating interval coverage. In my opinion the principal problem of the book is the size, I think the book is too short and some of the discussion should need more expansions and more working examples. For example, the discussion of the Feldman-Cousins criteria regarding interval coverage in asymmetrical PDF, needs more examples and explanations. In the same way the last chapter needs more detailed explanations. I understand that more explanations mean more space and transform the lecture notes in a more rigorous book, but I think this worth to. For these reason I recommend this book but as a second lecture, after studying for example the Glen Cowan’s book. On the other hand the book has a lot of typographical errors that must be corrected in future reprints or editions
