Statistical Inference

Statistical Inference

5 stars (It is an excellent textbook. Strongly recommended!) - [1] It is a very very good textbook of frequentist statistics, well self-organized. [2] The mathematics is precise and clear. [3] Anyone who is interested in the classical statistics may need such an excellent reference at hand. [4] If you decide to buy it, you'd better to check the website http://www.campusi.com/, where sometime you can find a surprise. 4 stars (Explains many topics well, where others fail) - This book was the recommended companion to my math stat's required textbook. In almost every case where I didn't understand the explanation given in lecture or in the main textbook, I could understand this book's explanation. I cannot vouch for the entire textbook, but I would not have understood MLE without it. The one star missing is because of the book's tendency to mention earlier sections of the book, which was frustrating since I was using it as a reference. Incidentally, I used this edition, but I didn't pay even close to the price here, so definitely comparison shop. 4 stars (A Good Book) - Overall, this book is a solid introduction to mathematical statistics. Exposition is clear and it fully motivates all concepts. I really only have one complaint: this book omits a few topics. A relatively minor example is the absence of the cumulant generating function. More disturbingly is that it does not have a full discussion of the multi-normal distribution (possibly to avoid some non-trivial linear algebra?). However, being that the book is otherwise quite complete and these topics can be found elsewhere these are rather annoyances than fatal flaws. ...
