Help your students grasp the essential concepts of statistical analysis and develop an appreciation for their real world applications.
Mathematical Statistics and Data Analysis uses an innovative approach to encourage students to discover the value and importance of statistics in everyday life. Traditional topics are interwoven with data analysis, and statistical theory is framed in a real-world context, emphasizing data analysis that examines real problems using real data. The text effectively illustrates concepts using descriptive statistics, graphical displays, and realistic applications that allow students to better grasp and apply the concepts. This approach provides students with a critical understanding that will be useful in their careers.
KEY FEATURES
An introduction to the Bootstrap Method as a simple yet powerful tool, integrated with general inferential procedures; Monte Carlo methods are also presented. Contemporary examples include interesting applications such as genomics, financial statistics, the probability of AIDS infection, state lotteries, and polygraph testing. Treatment of Bayesian inference in parallel with frequentist methods. Nearly 100 new problems, including several that are substantial enough to form the basis for computer labs.
