Description
This book covers the theory of hypotheses testing and of estimation by confidence intervals. Accompanying Theory of Point Estimation (1983) to cover the main topics of classical statistics, including theory and its principal applications, this second edition contains more on confidence intervals, simultaneous inference, admissibility, and conditioning. The book is thoroughly updated throughout with a new section on conditional inference and an expansion of multivariate material.
