Robert V. Hogg, Professor Emeritus of Statistics at the University of Iowa since 2001, received his B.A. in mathematics at the University of Illinois and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in mathematics, specializing in actuarial sciences and statistics, from the University of Iowa. Known for his gift of humor and his passion for teaching, Hogg has had far-reaching influence in the field of statistics. Throughout his career, Hogg has played a major role in defining statistics as a unique academic field, and he almost literally "wrote the book" on the subject. He has written more than 70 research articles and co-authored four books including  Introduction of Mathematical Statistics, 6th edition, with J. W. McKean and  A.T. Craig,  as well as  Probability and Statistical Inference, 8th edition and A Brief Course in Mathematical 1st edition, both with E.A. Tanis. His texts have become classroom standards used by hundreds of thousands of students
 
Among the many awards he has received for distinction in teaching, Hogg has been honored at the national level (the Mathematical Association of America Award for Distinguished Teaching), the state level (the Governor's Science Medal for Teaching), and the university level (Collegiate Teaching Award). His important contributions to statistical research have been acknowledged by his election to fellowship standing in the ASA and the Institute of Mathematical Statistics.

Caracteristici

  • The solid organization presents information in a logical, easy-to-grasp sequence and provides early discussion on fundamental statistical concepts such as data collection, variability, randomization, and graphical representation of data.
  • Numerous exercises range from straightforward “drill” problems to more challenging problems that test conceptual understanding.
  • Comprehensive coverage on the design of experiments (Chapters 6 and 7) and regression (Chapter 8) gives students abundant exposure to these topics.
  • Thorough discussions include summarizing and interpreting data, basic probability and probability distributions, sampling distributions, and basic statistical inference.
  • Data sets are available in Minitab® and text formats. They are available for download from the Pearson data sets website at www.pearsonhighered.com/datasets, or at www.biz.uiowa.edu/faculty/jledolter/AppliedStatistics.

Caracteristici noi

  • Chapter 2 (Probability Models and Discrete Distributions) has been expanded to include Multivariate Distributions and theEstimation of Parameters from Random Samples.
  • Chapter 3 (Continuous Probability Models) now explores Simulation and the Distributions of Two or More Continuous Random Variables. In addition, Chapter 3 includes an Introduction to Reliability, which was presented later in the previous edition.
  • Projects at the end of every chapter apply the theoretical methods to the solutions of real world problems. Several projects describe how statistical studies were carried out, and give students the opportunity to analyze and interpret results. Other projects allow students to develop their own studies and compare their approaches to what was actually done.
  • Computer Software sections, which use Minitab, have been added to reflect advancements in statistical software, data analysis, and experimental design.
  • Additional Remarks are included at the end of each chapter. These sections elaborate on basic statistical concepts by sharing historical context. They are designed to be informative as well as fun and engaging for students.
