Mathematical Statistics and Data Analysis, Second Edition

This is the first text in a generation to re-examine the purpose of the mathematical statistics course. The book's approach interweaves traditional topics with data analysis and reflects the use of the computer with close ties to the practice of statistics. The author stresses analysis of data, examines real problems with real data, and motivates the theory. The book's descriptive statistics, graphical displays, and realistic applications stand in strong contrast to traditional texts which are set in abstract settings. Mathematical Statistics And Data Analysis, Second Edition, Introduces The Important Modern Ideas Of Statistics Into A Mathematical Statistics Course, Emphasizing Data Analysis, Graphics, And Computer-driven Techniques. To Show The Integral Role Mathematical Statistics Plays In Actual Statistical Practice And Scientific Investigations, The Book Examines Real Problems With Real Data To Motivate Your Understanding Of Theory. In This Edition, The Author Has Integrated Bootstrap Material With More Traditional Inferential Procedures, Added Coverage Of The Monte Carlo Method, And Completely Revised Presentation Of Confidence Intervals In His Treatment Of Survey Sampling. In Addition, Many New Examples Have Been Added To Clarify Concepts, Along With More Than 150 New Exercises Designed To Reinforce Your Ability To Perform Calculations.--book Jacket. John A. Rice.
