This book emphasizes the theory of mathematical statistics while using applications and precise language to help illustrate points and motivate students. This new edition features exercises throughout each chapter; presents a dual approach to hypothesis testing - basing decisions on statistics and critical regions or P-values; expands coverage of estimation; treats analysis of t x c tables with ordered categories; and discusses robustness for estimation and testing hypotheses.

EXCERPT: Preface - Like its first and second editions, this book is designed for a two-semester or three-quarter calculus-based introduction to mathematical statistics. Most of the differences between this edition and the preceding ones reflect the changes that have taken place in recent years in statistical thinking, and in the teaching of statistics. Also, there have been extensive changes in format, which should make the book easier to read and easier to teach. In addition to substantial changes in notation, the basic material on distribution theory has been reorganized, there is a new chapter combining the material on functions of random variables, the theoretical and applied aspects of estimation have been expanded and placed in two chapters, an expanded coverage is given to nonparametric statistics, the introduction to analysis of variance has been rewritten with more emphasis on the concepts of experimental design, the material on Boolean Algebra has been placed into an appendix, and there are many new exercises and illustrations.
