This 1996 book is a reliable account of the statistical framework for pattern recognition and machine learning. Valuable advice is included on both theory and applications, while case studies based on real data sets help readers develop their understanding. All data sets are available from www.stats.ox.ac.uk/~ripley/PRbook/

This book is a comprehensive guide to simulation methods with explicit recommendations of methods and algorithms. It covers both the technical aspects of the subject, such as the generation of random numbers, non-uniform random variates and stochastic processes, and the use of simulation.
