Mathematical Statistics: Basic Ideas and Selected Topics, Volume II presents important statistical concepts, methods, and tools not covered in the authors' previous volume. This second volume focuses on inference in non- and semiparametric models. It not only reexamines the procedures introduced in the first volume from a more sophisticated point o

Doksum is a senior scientist in the Department of Statistics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His research encompasses the estimation of nonparametric regression and correlation curves, inference for global measures of association in semiparametric and nonparametric settings, the estimation of regression quantiles, statistical modeling and analysis of HIV data, the analysis of financial data, and Bayesian nonparametric inference.
Recensioner i media
" . . . the authors have done a superb job of selecting topics comprising most of the essential knowledge needed formodern research. Furthermore, these modern topics are considered with greater depth and sophistication than is usual in a general purpose text. And throughout its pages the book does a good job of linking the mathematical developments to major examples. The choice of topics and examples, along with the depth of coverage are the most attractive features of this volume."~RobertW. Keener, University of Michigan
