This book builds theoretical statistics from thefirst principles of probability theory. Startingfrom the basics of probability, the authorsdevelop the theory of statistical inferenceusing techniques, definitions and conceptsthat are statistical and are natural extensionsand consequences of previous concepts.Intended for first-year graduate students, thisbook can be used for students majoring instatistics who have a solid mathematicsbackground. It can also be used in a way thatstresses the more practical uses of statisticaltheory, being more concerned withunderstanding basic statistical concepts andderiving reasonable statistical procedures for avariety of situations and less concerned withformal optimality investigations.FEATURES Offers new coverage of randomnumber generation, simulation methods,bootstrapping, EM algorithm, p-values androbustness.Includes new sections on "Logistic Regression"and "Robust Regression"Restructures material for clarity purposesContains updated and expanded Exercises Key Features

George Casella was an author and distinguished professor who hailed from New York City. He authored several text books on statistics during his lifetime. Some of these titles are Theory Of Point Estimation, Monte Carlo Statistical Methods, and Variance Components. Casella obtained his Ph.D. in Mathematical Statistics from Purdue University. He served as a faculty member at many esteemed institutions such as Rutgers University, the University of Florida, and Cornell University. Casella received many awards and accolades for his contribution to the field of statistics. Some of these were Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and Fellow at the International Statistical Institute. Casella passed away in June 2012 due to multiple myeloma. Roger L.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Statistical inference is the method in which a researcher draws conclusions from research data which is subject to random variation. The end goal of statistical inference is to determine what is to be done next with the data set. Statistical Inference is a text that is ideally suited for students in their first year of graduate studies who have a firm footing in their understanding of mathematical concepts. The text builds on the basic theories of probability, using definitions, techniques, and concepts which are statistical and naturally extend from previous concepts. Students can use this text in two ways. They can focus on the practical aspects of the theory, understand basic concepts, and derive statistical procedures which could be used for different situations. Or, students can focus on formally optimizing their research investigations. This second edition of the text has several salient features. It contains new material on random number-generation, bootstrapping, simulation methods, p-values, EM algorithm, and robustness. The authors have also included new topics on Logistic Regression and Robust Regression. The material has been restructured for the purpose of clarity. Updated exercises and key features are also included. The text contains 12 chapters. The topics covered by these chapters are Probability Theory, Multiple Random Variables, Common Families of Distributions, Random Sample Properties, Data Reduction Principles, Interval Estimation, Point Estimation, Hypothesis Testing, Asymptotic Evaluations, Regression and Variance Analysis, and Regression Models. Statistical Inference was published in 2007. Seller Inventory # CIN8131503941VG
