About this title

Review

Aus den Rezensionen zur 3. Auflage:

"... Testing Statistical Hypotheses gibt einen exzellenten Überblick über die Philosophie des Testens ... Dabei deckt dieses Buch sowohl die ... theoretischen Grundlagen als auch aktuelle Forschungsgebiete ab. Neben zahlreichen Beispielen trägt insbesondere eine leicht zugängliche Sprache zum Verständnis des Lesers bei. Die am Ende eines jeden Kapitels eingestreuten Aufgaben, Probleme und Referenzen geben zusätzliche Denkanstöße. Somit eignet sich dieses Buch nicht nur zum Selbststudium oder als Begleitlektüre für eine entsprechende Vorlesung, sondern ist auch für jeden in der Lehre Tätigen ein Gewinn." (Karsten Webel, in: Allgemeines Statistisches Archiv, 2006, Vol. 90, Issue 2, S. 360 f.)

From the Back Cover

The third edition of Testing Statistical Hypotheses updates and expands upon the classic graduate text, emphasizing optimality theory for hypothesis testing and confidence sets. The principal additions include a rigorous treatment of large sample optimality, together with the requisite tools. In addition, an introduction to the theory of resampling methods such as the bootstrap is developed. The sections on multiple testing and goodness of fit testing are expanded. The text is suitable for Ph.D. students in statistics and includes over 300 new problems out of a total of more than 760.
