Editorial Review:
This book provides an introduction to the basic theory and techniques of signal detection and estimation. It provides essential background for engineers and scientists working in a number of fields, including communications, control, signal, and image processing, radar and sonar, radio astronomy, seismology, remote sensing, and instrumentation. The treatment can be used as a textbook in several instruction modes, including a single course; a two-tiered combination of an introductory course and an advanced course; or two separate courses, one in signal detection, the other in estimation.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Good book about detection and estimation
This is a textbook recommended by our instructor. The theory is useful. But I don't think the description in the book is easy for me to understand.
Rating: - Good book
This is indeed a good book in the field of Estimation and Detection Theory. The book is very mathematical but pretty thorough too. It assumes you know the concepts of Random Processes in depth. So a refreshing course in Random processes and probability will be a good pre-requesite before starting on this book.
Rating:  - Very concise introduction to the subject
Some say this book is hard to read. I found it quite the opposite. The book is concise, which means it takes sometime to go through each page. But the amount of information one gets is worth the effort. One downside though are the problem sets in each chapter. Most of the problems are similar and there are very few variations. Nonetheless, if you have money to spend on a sigle book on this topic this is the book to have, at least for electrical engineers and computer scientists.
Rating: - Best Book I've Seen but could be better
Poor does a better than average job of explaining the complicated theory behind detection and estimation. He has many examples which clarifiy some complicated theorems. However I find that too many steps are skipped. Particularly in chapter II where the basis for all of the detection methods become apparent.
The book is an excellent resource for someone who wants to learn detection and estimation. However don't expect it to be your only resource. In order to understand Poor's book to ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent book, but not student-friendly!
Dr. Poor is a very well known authority in statistical signal processing, and in this book he offers us an excellent introductory-level presentation on a challenging and very important subject. Careful reading of this book will provide the reader with a solid theoretical background!
Lots of examples and exercises to illustrate theory; nevertheless I think that some very important aspects related to practical applications should not be left as exercises (for instance M-ary hypothesis testing). ... Read More
