Fundamentals of Mathematical Statistics Statistical Inference

This is the first half of a set of lecture notes with exercises - a text - for two semester course in mathematical statistics at the senior/graduate level for those who need a strong background in statistics as an essential tool in their career. To study this text, the reader needs a thorough familiarity with calculus including such things as Jacobians and series but somewhat less intense familiarity with matrices including quadratic forms and eigenvalues. For convenience, these lecture notes were divided into two parts: Volume I, Probability for Statistics, for the first semester, and Volume II, Statistical Inference, for the second.Nguyen, H. T. is the author of 'Fundamentals of Mathematical Statistics Statistical Inference' with ISBN 9780387970202 and ISBN 0387970207.
