About this title

Synopsis:

The Likelihood plays a key role in both introducing general notions of statistical theory, and in developing specific methods. This book introduces likelihood-based statistical theory and related methods from a classical viewpoint, and demonstrates how the main body of currently used statistical techniques can be generated from a few key concepts, in particular the likelihood.

Focusing on those methods, which have both a solid theoretical background and practical relevance, the author gives formal justification of the methods used and provides numerical examples with real data.

Review:

..."this book reads well, and it is a welcome addition to the literature. I recommend its use as a text for an introductory graduate level course." -JASA ..."provides numerical answers with real data." -L'Enseignment Mathematique "From the preface: 'the aim is to show how the main body of currently used statistical techniques can be generated from a few key concepts, in particular the likelihood'. The author achieves this aim extremely well." -Publication of the International Statistical Institute
