Details:
Statistical Inference, Second Edition is a classic graduate-level textbook that builds the theory of statistical inference from the fundamental principles of probability theory. Starting with the basics of probability, the authors develop key concepts in statistical theory using methods that naturally extend previous ideas, making this book an essential resource for anyone studying statistics.

This edition covers all essential topics in a standard inference course, including:

• Distributions and random variables

• Data reduction techniques

• Point estimation, hypothesis testing, and interval estimation

Features:

• Written in a clear, accessible style for those with a basic background in calculus

• Includes hundreds of examples to aid understanding and practical application of concepts

• Each chapter comes with an extensive set of graduated exercises to reinforce learning

• Focuses more on understanding basic statistical concepts and deriving reasonable procedures rather than formal optimality

Primarily aimed at graduate students in statistics, this book is also suitable for advanced undergraduates with a solid mathematics background. The text emphasizes practical uses of statistical theory, making it highly applicable for those in real-world statistical work.

This reprint of the second edition was originally published by Cengage Learning, Inc. in 2001.
