About this book
Part I of this book constitutes a one-semester course on basic parametric mathematical statistics. Part II deals with the large sample theory of statistics - parametric and nonparametric, and its contents may be covered in one semester as well. Part III provides brief accounts of a number of topics of current interest for practitioners and other disciplines whose work involves statistical methods.
Reviews
“This is a very nice book suitable for a theoretical statistics course after having worked through something at the level of Casella & Berger, as well as some measure theory. … In addition to the exercises, which range from doable to interesting, there are several projects scattered throughout the text. The explanations are clear and crisp, and the presentation is interesting. … the book would be a worthy addition to your statistics library.” (Peter Rabinovitch, MAA Reviews, maa.org, March, 2017)
