Synopsis

An introductory text that develops basic statistical methods from a perspective grounded in ideas of information, learning, and decision. First, a coherent methodology for providing good unbiased estimates is proposed using ideas from information theory and psychology. Then these initial estimates are modified in the light of data collected, and the use of these updated estimates in some common decision problems is discussed. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
