Elementary Concepts in Statistics

Elementary Concepts in Statistics Overview of Elementary Concepts in Statistics. In this introduction, we will briefly discuss those elementary statistical concepts that provide the necessary foundations for more specialized expertise in any area of statistical data analysis. The selected topics illustrate the basic assumptions of most statistical methods and/or have been demonstrated in resear...

Mathematical Statistics

This material is designed to introduces basic concepts and fundamental theory of mathematical statistics. A review of basic concepts will include likelihood functions, sufficient statistics, and exponential family of distributions. Then point estimation will be discussed, including minimum variance unbiased estimates, Cramér-Rao inequality, maximum likelihood estimates and asymptotic theory. To...

Good Writing in Mathematical Statistics

Good writing style for papers in mathematical statistics is important for two reasons. First it enhances a paper's chances to be accepted for publication. Second the literature has grown to the point that keeping up with it makes careful presentation imperative. This paper gives suggestions for improvement in two directions: presentation of mathematics and organization of papers.
