Despite being freely accessible, it is copyrighted. This means that users of this site can read it for free, but they cannot reproduce it without authorization. This is because the creator of Statlect likes to maintain full ownership of its creature.
Statlect is actively maintained and developed by its author. New lectures are continuously added to the website and existing lectures are revised, in order to make them clearer and more complete and to eliminate (inevitable) mistakes.
Statlect visitors often send comments and suggestions that help to improve the lectures. So, the more visitors there are, the better the lectures become. To help Statlect grow, please post a link to Statlect on your blog or personal web page.
