Inhaltsangabe

This book is unique in its emphasis on understanding "why" over "how to." Rather than relying on computer software packages, it provides the mathematical foundation readers need to carry out various procedures using a variety of packages. It stresses integrating the knowledge gained in the book rather than training the user in isolated skills or concepts.

Understanding the "why" of statistics and probability—a unique and useful emphasis on theory

This outstanding textbook emphasizes theoretical comprehension rather than the narrow acquisition of concepts or skills. Probability and Statistical Inference focuses on the development of intuition and understanding through diversity of experience.

This thought-provoking text reintroduces mathematics, abstractions, and theory into the study of statistics and probability, and demonstrates that greater abstraction leads to a wider applicability of the methods under discussion. Its unique approach to exercises integrates the knowledge gained here and promotes a more complete understanding of the material.

Probability and Statistical Inference features:

• A wealth of examples illustrating concepts, theorems, and methods—from numerical data and details of calculations, to ideas behind some of the methods, and more
• Accessible, user-friendly treatments that clearly explain concepts and motivations while pointing out pitfalls and difficulties of arguments
• A selection of advanced topics for students who would benefit from more thorough explanations
• An instructor's manual with solutions available from the publisher

Suitable for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in statistics, and as a professional reference, this unparalleled volume offers useful insights to anyone who uses statistical tools, whatever the discipline.
