This classic, calculus-based introduction to the theory and application of statistics provides an unusually comprehensive depth and breadth of coverage and reflects the latest in statistical thinking and current practices. New to this edition is the addition of an applications section at the end of each chapter that deals with the theory presented. Further emphasis has been placed on the use of computers in performing statistical calculations. Topics covered include probability distributions and densities, random variables, sampling distributions, hypothesis testing, regression and correlation, variance, and more. An excellent reference work for professional statisticians in a variety of fields.
It is a really good introductory book for the subject of statistics. I am from a non-statistics background (though I have studied mathematics) and I find this book really helpful to understand the basics of statistics.
I have this book (eigth edition). I am confused by the table of contents, below each subtitle, they write their name, are you kidding me ? For example: 1.introduction (Irwin Miller/ Marylees Miller)...14.Regression and Correlation(Irwin Miller/ Marylees Miller).....Appendix(Irwin Miller/ Marylees Miller),statistical tables((Irwin Miller/ Marylees Miller)) Can someone explain to me why they act like idiots?
This was my first formal introduction to statistics. If you have access to the solutions manual, I highly recommend it for undergraduate practice problems.
