Provides the necessary skills to solve problems in mathematical statistics through theory, concrete examples, and exercises
With a clear and detailed approach to the fundamentals of statistical theory,
Examples and Problems in Mathematical Statistics
uniquely bridges the gap between theory andapplication and presents numerous problem-solving examples that illustrate the relatednotations and proven results.
Written by an established authority in probability and mathematical statistics, each chapter begins with a theoretical presentation to introduce both the topic and the important results in an effort to aid in overall comprehension. Examples are then provided, followed by problems, and finally, solutions to some of the earlier problems. In addition,
features:
Over 160 practical and interesting real-world examples from a variety of fields including engineering, mathematics, and statistics to help readers become proficient in theoretical problem solving
More than 430 unique exercises with select solutions
Key statistical inference topics, such as probability theory, statistical distributions, sufficient statistics, information in samples, testing statistical hypotheses, statistical estimation, confidence and tolerance intervals, large sample theory, and Bayesian analysis
Recommended for graduate-level courses in probability and statistical inference,
is also an ideal reference for applied statisticians and researchers.
