Additional application areas examined include genetics, computer science, medicine, and information theory.
The authors present the material in an easy style and motivate concepts using real-world examples. Throughout, they use stories to unfold connections between the fundamental distributions in statistics and conditioning to less complicated problems to manageable pieces.
