Synopsis

This classic book retains its outstanding ongoing features and continues to provide readers with excellent background material necessary for a successful understanding of mathematical statistics. Chapter topics cover classical statistical inference procedures in estimation and testing, and an in-depth treatment of sufficiency and testing theory—including uniformly most powerful tests and likelihood ratios. Many illustrative examples and exercises enhance the presentation of material throughout the book. For a more complete understanding of mathematical statistics.

About this title

From the Publisher:

Exceptionally clear and impeccably accurate, the fifth edition of this trusted text offers a careful presentation of the probability needed for mathematical statistics and the mathematics of statistical inference. Offering a strong background for those who wish to go on to study statistical applications or more advanced theory, this text presents the most thorough treatment of the mathematics of statistics of any competing text.

From the Back Cover:

An exceptionally clear and impeccably accurate presentation of statistical applications and more advanced theory. Included is a chapter on the distribution of functions of random variables as well as an excellent chapter on sufficient statistics. More modern technology is used in considering limiting distributions, making the presentations more clear and uniform.
