From the reviews:"The book covers a wide range of topics dealing with identification of block-oriented nonlinear structures. The topics are carefully selected and no important topics are left out. Many topics are treated in depth using a plethora of tools from probability theory, statistics and signal theory. This makes the book an indispensable and valuable resource for any researcher in the field of nonlinear system identification." (Adam Krzyzak, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2012 e)
