Synopsis:

This book covers the theory of hypotheses testing and of estimation by confidence intervals. Accompanying Theory of Point Estimation (1983) to cover the main topics of classical statistics, including theory and its principal applications, this second edition contains more on confidence intervals, simultaneous inference, admissibility, and conditioning. The book is thoroughly updated throughout with a new section on conditional inference and an expansion of multivariate material.

From the Back Cover:

The third edition of Testing Statistical Hypotheses updates and expands upon the classic graduate text, emphasizing optimality theory for hypothesis testing and confidence sets. The principal additions include a rigorous treatment of large sample optimality, together with the requisite tools. In addition, an introduction to the theory of resampling methods such as the bootstrap is developed. The sections on multiple testing and goodness of fit testing are expanded. The text is suitable for Ph.D. students in statistics and includes over 300 new problems out of a total of more than 760.

He is the author of Elements of Large-Sample Theory and (with George Casella) he is also the author of Theory of Point Estimation, Second Edition.

Joseph P. Romano is Professor of Statistics at Stanford University. He is a recipient of a Presidential Young Investigator Award and a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics.
