| Summary: | "This book was prepared as a text for a two-semester course in mathematical statistics for those with the background of a full year of calculus. The purpose of the book is to develop in a logical manner the framework of mathematical statistics without long diversions into applications. The illustrative examples and problems, however, are chosen to indicate many of the possible applications. Many of the problems are numerical, and students are urged to complete all the arithmetic operations. In statistics the handling of numerical problems is perhaps more important to an understanding of the theory than in any other branch of mathematics, with the possible exception of numerical analysis. Some sections contain additional material not directly needed for the main development"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved).
