A well-balanced introduction to probability theory and mathematical statistics
Featuring updated material,
An Introduction to Probability and Statistics, Third Edition
remains a solid overview to probability theory and mathematical statistics. Divided intothree parts, the
Third Edition
begins by presenting the fundamentals and foundationsof probability. The second part addresses statistical inference, and the remainingchapters focus on special topics.
includes:
A new section on regression analysis to include multiple regression, logistic regression, and Poisson regression
A reorganized chapter on large sample theory to emphasize the growing role of asymptotic statistics
Additional topical coverage on bootstrapping, estimation procedures, and resampling
Discussions on invariance, ancillary statistics, conjugate prior distributions, and invariant confidence intervals
Over 550 problems and answers to most problems, as well as 350 worked out examples and 200 remarks
Numerous figures to further illustrate examples and proofs throughout
is an ideal reference and resource for scientists and engineers in the fields of statistics, mathematics, physics, industrial management, and engineering. The book is also an excellent text for upper-undergraduate and graduate-level students majoring in probability and statistics.
