Introduction to the Theory of Statistical Inference: Chapman & Hall/CRC Texts in Statistical Science

Autor Hannelore Liero
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 iul 2011
Based on the authors’ lecture notes, Introduction to the Theory of Statistical Inference presents concise yet complete coverage of statistical inference theory, focusing on the fundamental classical principles. Suitable for a second-semester undergraduate course on statistical inference, the book offers proofs to support the mathematics. It illustrates core concepts using cartoons and provides solutions to all examples and problems.
Highlights
  • Basic notations and ideas of statistical inference are explained in a mathematically rigorous, but understandable, form
  • Classroom-tested and designed for students of mathematical statistics
  • Examples, applications of the general theory to special cases, exercises, and figures provide a deeper insight into the material
  • Solutions provided for problems formulated at the end of each chapter
  • Combines the theoretical basis of statistical inference with a useful applied toolbox that includes linear models
  • Theoretical, difficult, or frequently misunderstood problems are marked
The book is aimed at advanced undergraduate students, graduate students in mathematics and statistics, and theoretically-interested students from other disciplines. Results are presented as theorems and corollaries. All theorems are proven and important statements are formulated as guidelines in prose. With its multipronged and student-tested approach, this book is an excellent introduction to the theory of statistical inference.

Recenzii

… it provides in-depth explanations, complete with proofs, of how statistics works. … The book has several user-friendly aspects. One is the use of eight example data sets to illustrate the theory throughout the text. This repeated use of the same examples allows readers to focus their energy on applying a theoretical point under discussion to a familiar example rather than having to first become acquainted with a new example. Another big help are the detailed solutions provided for the problems that appear at the end of each chapter. … Also helpful: Theoretical or difficult material that can be skipped is marked with an asterisk. … a clear exposition of the theory of statistical inference, along with complete proofs and familiar examples. The text analyzes not just methods one learns in a first statistics course, but alternatives as well. Each chapter is capped by a further reading section that is at once comprehensive and concise.
—David A. Huckaby, MAA Reviews, February 2012

Descriere

Based on the authors’ lecture notes, this text presents concise yet complete coverage of statistical inference theory, focusing on the fundamental classical principles. Unlike related textbooks, it combines the theoretical basis of statistical inference with a useful applied toolbox that includes linear models. Suitable for a second semester undergraduate course on statistical inference, the text offers proofs to support the mathematics and does not require any use of measure theory. It illustrates core concepts using cartoons and provides solutions to all examples and problems.
