Harald Cramér – författare

Harald Cramér’s classic synthesis of statistical mathematical theory—an invaluable resource for students and practitioners alikeIn the 1930s, as British and American statisticians were developing the science of statistical inference, French and Russian probabilitists transformed the classical calculus of probability into a rigorous and pure mathematical theory. In this incisive and authoritative book, Harald Cramér unites these two major lines of development, providing a masterly exposition of the mathematical methods of modern statistics that set the standard in the field still followed today.Requiring only a working knowledge of undergraduate mathematics, this self-contained book begins with an introduction to the fundamental concept of a distribution and of integration with respect to a distribution. It goes on to discuss the general theory of random variables and probability distributions, the theory of sampling, statistical estimation, and tests of significance.Blending lucid and accessible writing with mathematical rigor, Mathematical Methods of Statistics belongs on the shelf of anyone interested in statistical methods and remains the standard reference on the subject today.

Professor Cramer, author of the pivotal Mathematical Methods of Statistics (1946), examines problems in the theory of stochastic processes that can be considered as generalizations of problems in the classical theory of statistical inference. He discusses first the representation formula and then treats its application to the multiplicity problem, classes of processes with multiplicity N= 1, normal or Gaussian processes. He concludes with a discussion of problems of estimation for a normal process. A distinguished mathematician, Harald Cramer has been President of the University of Stockholm and Chancellor of the Swedish Universities. He is a member of many professional societies, including the Royal Swedish Academy of Science and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.Originally published in 1971.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
