A Course in Mathematical Statistics, Second Edition (Hardcover)by George G. Roussas





Editorial ReviewsProduct Description
A Course in Mathematical Statistics, Second Edition, contains enough material for a year-long course in probability and statistics for advanced undergraduate or first-year graduate students, or it can be used independently for a one-semester (or even one-quarter) course in probability alone. It bridges the gap between high and intermediate level texts so students without a sophisticated mathematical background can assimilate a fairly broad spectrum of the theorems and results from mathematical statistics. The coverage is extensive, and consists of probability and distribution theory, and statistical inference.

* Contains 25% new material
* Includes the most complete coverage of sufficiency
* Transformation of Random Vectors
* Sufficiency / Completeness / Exponential Families
* Order Statistics
* Elements of Nonparametric Density Estimation
* Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)
* Regression Analysis
* Linear Models
