Introduction to Probability and Statistics

A well-balanced introduction to probability theory and mathematical statisticsFeaturing updated material, An Introduction to Probability and Statistics, Third Edition remains a solid overview to probability theory and mathematical statistics. Divided intothree parts, the Third Edition begins by presenting the fundamentals and foundationsof probability. The second part addresses statistical inference, and the remainingchapters focus on special topics.An Introduction to Probability and Statistics, Third Edition includes: A new section on regression analysis to include multiple regression, logistic regression, and Poisson regressionA reorganized chapter on large sample theory to emphasize the growing role of asymptotic statisticsAdditional topical coverage on bootstrapping, estimation procedures, and resamplingDiscussions on invariance, ancillary statistics, conjugate prior distributions, and invariant confidence intervalsOver 550 problems and answers to most problems, as well as 350 worked out examples and 200 remarksNumerous figures to further illustrate examples and proofs throughoutAn Introduction to Probability and Statistics, Third Edition is an ideal reference and resource for scientists and engineers in the fields of statistics, mathematics, physics, industrial management, and engineering. The book is also an excellent text for upper-undergraduate and graduate-level students majoring in probability and statistics.
