The average rating for Statistical inquiry based on 4 reviews is 4 stars.
Review # 1 was written on 2013-07-13 00:00:00 David Jankovsky Good examples to motivate each concept, but it presupposes a strong understanding of multivariable calculus and FAMILIARITY WITH PROOFS. Either a good class on Real Analysis, or a good class involving mathematical proofs is a must. I used this book for a 2-semester sequence in Probability Theory and Statistical Inference, as part of an MS in Statistics. Do EVERY example, and work through end of chapter problems as needed for your class, relevant to your own learning goals, or as tickles your fancy. The solutions manual is available courtesy of Google, and I highly recommend using it when you hit a wall. The level of mathematics here is one where you want to correct your intuition as quickly as possible if it's not right. |
