  • Statistical Inference a Work in Progress
    Ronald Christensen Department of Mathematics and Statistics University of New Mexico Copyright c 2019 Statistical Inference A Work in Progress Springer v Seymour and Wes. Preface “But to us, probability is the very guide of life.” Joseph Butler (1736). The Analogy of Religion, Natural and Revealed, to the Constitution and Course of Nature, Introduction. https://www.loc.gov/resource/dcmsiabooks. analogyofreligio00butl_1/?sp=41 Normally, I wouldn’t put anything this incomplete on the internet but I wanted to make parts of it available to my Advanced Inference Class, and once it is up, you have lost control. Seymour Geisser was a mentor to Wes Johnson and me. He was Wes’s Ph.D. advisor. Near the end of his life, Seymour was finishing his 2005 book Modes of Parametric Statistical Inference and needed some help. Seymour asked Wes and Wes asked me. I had quite a few ideas for the book but then I discovered that Sey- mour hated anyone changing his prose. That was the end of my direct involvement. The first idea for this book was to revisit Seymour’s. (So far, that seems only to occur in Chapter 1.) Thinking about what Seymour was doing was the inspiration for me to think about what I had to say about statistical inference. And much of what I have to say is inspired by Seymour’s work as well as the work of my other professors at Min- nesota, notably Christopher Bingham, R. Dennis Cook, Somesh Das Gupta, Mor- ris L. Eaton, Stephen E. Fienberg, Narish Jain, F. Kinley Larntz, Frank B.

  • Principles of Statistical Inference
    Principles of Statistical Inference In this important book, D. R. Cox develops the key concepts of the theory of statistical inference, in particular describing and comparing the main ideas and controversies over foundational issues that have rumbled on for more than 200 years. Continuing a 60-year career of contribution to statistical thought, Professor Cox is ideally placed to give the comprehensive, balanced account of the field that is now needed. The careful comparison of frequentist and Bayesian approaches to inference allows readers to form their own opinion of the advantages and disadvantages. Two appendices give a brief historical overview and the author’s more personal assessment of the merits of different ideas. The content ranges from the traditional to the contemporary. While specific applications are not treated, the book is strongly motivated by applications across the sciences and associated technologies. The underlying mathematics is kept as elementary as feasible, though some previous knowledge of statistics is assumed. This book is for every serious user or student of statistics – in particular, for anyone wanting to understand the uncertainty inherent in conclusions from statistical analyses.
