From the publisher's description: Traditional texts in mathematical statistics can seem -- to some readers -- heavily weighted with optimality theory of the various flavours developed in the 1940s and 1950s, and not particularly relevant to statistical practice. This book stands apart from these treatments. From the preface: This book is intended as a textbook (or reference) for a full year Master's level (or senior level undergraduate) course in mathematical statistics aimed at students in statistics, biostatistics, and related fields. The book contains the following chapters: 1) Introduction to probability; 2) Random vectors and joint distributions; 3) Convergence of random variables; 4) Principles of point estimation; 5) Likelihood-based estimation; 6) Optimality in estimation; 7) Interval estimation and hypothesis testing; 8) Linear and generalized linear models; 9) Goodness-of-fit. Each chapter is accompanied by problems and complements.
