About this title

Synopsis

This book is based on lecture notes developed by the late Jack Kiefer for a course on statistical inference with a minimum of formality, relying on a mixture of examples, pictures and mathematical derivations to complement a clear discussion. In addition to the decision-theoretic concepts such as admissibility, Bayes solutions, and minimax procedures, Kiefer is concerned with providing a rational perspective on classical approaches, such as unblasedness, likelihood-based methods, and linear models.
