{"product_id":"mathematical-statistics-keith-knight-9781584881780","title":"Mathematical Statistics","description":"\u003cp\u003eTraditional texts in mathematical statistics can seem - to some readers-heavily weighted with optimality theory of the various flavors developed in the 1940s and50s, and not particularly relevant to statistical practice. Mathematical Statistics stands apart from these treatments. While mathematically rigorous, its focus is on providing a set of useful tools that allow students to understand the theoretical underpinnings of statistical methodology. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe author concentrates on inferential procedures within the framework of parametric models, but - acknowledging that models are often incorrectly specified - he also views estimation from a non-parametric perspective. Overall, Mathematical Statistics places greater emphasis on frequentist methodology than on Bayesian, but claims no particular superiority for that approach. It does emphasize, however, the utility of statistical and mathematical software packages, and includes several sections addressing computational issues. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe result reaches beyond \"nice\" mathematics to provide a balanced, practical text that brings life and relevance to a subject so often perceived as irrelevant and dry.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003eProvides the tools that allow an understanding of the underpinnings of statistical methods\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eEncourages the use of statistical software, which widens the range of problems reader can consider\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eBrings relevance to the subject-shows readers it has much to offer beyond optimality theory\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eFocuses on inferential procedures within the framework of parametric models, but also views estimation from the nonparametric perspective\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eSolutions manual availalbe on crcpress.com\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Keith Knight\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 158488178X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781584881780\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/24\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 498\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.68h x 6.14w x 1.26d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2000 pg. 168","brand":"Keith Knight","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46881093320959,"sku":"9781584881780","price":210.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4347564e-8d6d-4799-a95c-45b81a47da38.jpg?v=1747970651","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mathematical-statistics-keith-knight-9781584881780","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
