This review is from: Statistical and Adaptive Signal Processing: Spectral Estimation, Signal Modeling, Adaptive Filtering and Array Processing (Hardcover)
This book was the text for the first part of a sequence on statistical signal processing which I took. We covered chapters 1-7, chapters 4-7 in great detail.
This book almost never explains things well. It has a lot of detail and a lot of repetition, but the essence is usually poorly explained. For every important concept, like the Levinson-Durban algorithm or Yule-Walker equations, I had to read other books to figure them out. Stoica has more insight in 2 pages on the Y-W equations then Manolakis has in a dozen. Also the structure and flow of the detailed developments is astonishingly bad. For example, there are algorithms with steps out of order.
Another problem is the huge number of mistakes. It will take you about an hour per chapter to fix each chapter using the publishers errata sheet. But there are errors not included on the errata list, so watch out.
The few good things about this book include a very detailed table of contents, and useful introductory discussions for each chapter and chapter 1.
This book is a disaster and reads like a so-so first draft. Shame on the publisher for not enforcing more quality. Instead of this loser, I recommend Adaptive Filters by Haykin, Spectral Analysis by Stoica, and Mathematical Methods for Signal Processing by Moon and Stirling among others.

2.0 out of 5 stars Broad coverage but not focuss., November 9, 2003
This review is from: Statistical and Adaptive Signal Processing: Spectral Estimation, Signal Modeling, Adaptive Filtering and Array Processing (Hardcover)
I buy this book about 3 years ago (2000).
My aim was to get a better understanding on statistical dsp.
I got the lecture on advanced dsp on my master degree. I must confess that for me this is not an easy subject to master. Therefore a clear and well explained book on this subject is a very important for me.
But I was dissapointed when I got this book!
Yes, it is broad of coverage, but the content is not focuss.
The connection between previous and next parts of discussion and chapters mostly does not show a clear link.
Yes, it is full of facts, but I need more than bulk of facts: THE WAY OF THINKING, why we do and why we don't do.
It didn't help me to master the subject.
For the reader who want an easy to read and clear in explaination as well as good reasoning and examples, I would suggest to go for another book such as Steven M Kay (Volume 1, Estimation Theory). For me this is a lot better investment of time and money!.
Thank you for reading my review. |
