Szekely G.J. Paradoxes in Probability Theory and Mathematical Statistics

3rd Edition. Wiley series in probability and mathematical statistics. John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2003, - 721 pages. This book has been designed primarily as a text for a two-semester course in multivariate statistics. The book will also serve as an introduction to many topics in this area to statisticians who are not students and will be used as a reference by other statisticians. For several years the book in the form of dittoed notes has bee...

Duxbury Press, 2008. - 768 pages. 7th Edition This comprehensive introduction to probability and statistics will give you the solid grounding you need no matter what your engineering specialty. Through the use of lively and realistic examples, the author helps you go beyond simply learning about statistics to actually putting the statistical methods to use. Rather than focus on rigorous mathematical development and potentially overwhelming deri...

Thompson, 2006. - 848 pages. Many mathematical statistics texts are heavily oriented toward a rigorous mathematical development of probability and statistics, without emphasizing contemporary statistical practice. "Modern Mathematical Statistics with Applications" strikes a balance between mathematical foundations and statistical practice. Accomplished authors Jay Devore and Ken Berk first engage students with real-life problems and scenarios an...

Springer, 2011. - 857 pages. Many mathematical statistics texts are heavily oriented toward a rigorous mathematical development of probability and statistics, without much attention paid to how statistics is actually used. In contrast, Modern Mathematical Statistics with Applications, Second Edition strikes a balance between mathematical foundations and statistical practice. In keeping with the recommendation that every math student should stud...

John Wiley & Sons, 1963. - 695 pages. Probability theory can be understood as a mathematical model for the intuitive notion of uncertainty. Without probability theory all the stochastic models in Physics, Biology, and Economics would either not have been developed or would not be rigorous. Also, probability is used in many branches of pure mathematics, even in branches one does not expect this, like in convex geometry.

Springer-Verlag, 2010. - 436 pages. This textbook on applied probability is intended for graduate students in applied mathematics, biostatistics, computational biology, computer science, physics, and statistics. It presupposes knowledge of multivariate calculus, linear algebra, ordinary differential equations, and elementary probability theory. Given these prerequisites, Applied Probability presents a unique blend of theory and applications, wi...

McGraw-Hill, 1998, 376 pages. The purpose of this book is to present a modern introduction to probability and statistics using background of calculus. For convenience the book is divided into two parts. The first deals with probability (and by itself can be used to provide an introduction to the subject), while the second deals with statistics. The book is designed to be used either as a textbook for formal course in probability and statistics or...

Duxbury Press, 1995. - 838 pages. This author's modern approach is intended primarily for honors undergraduates or undergraduates with a good math background taking a mathematical statistics or statistical inference course. The author takes a finite-dimensional functional modeling viewpoint (in contrast to the conventional parametric approach) to strengthen the connection between statistical theory and statistical methodology. The writing of...

Cambridge University Press, 2008. - 504 Pages. Probability and Statistics are as much about intuition and problem solving as they are about theorem proving. Because of this, students can find it very difficult to make a successful transition from lectures to examinations to practice, since the problems involved can vary so much in nature. Since the subject is critical in many modern applications such as mathematical finance, quantitative manage...

Springer, 1999. - 453 pages. This textbook introduces the mathematical concepts and methods that underlie statistics. The course is unified, in the sense that no prior knowledge of probability theory is assumed; this is developed as needed. The book is committed to a high level of mathematical seriousness; and to an intimate connection with application. Modern methods, such as logistic regression, are introduced; as are unjustly neglected class...
