| Description: |
Statistical inference is the process of drawing conclusions based upon the available data on the measurement of uncertainty of a defined event. It allows one to draw a conclusion or a generalization from the available data. , i.e. if there is smoke there is a good probability there is a fire. |
| Synopsis: |
This fully updated and revised third edition, presents a wide ranging, balanced account of the fundamental issues across the full spectrum of inference and decision--making. Much has happened in this field since the second edition was published: for example, Bayesian inferential procedures have not only gained acceptance but are often the preferred methodology. This book will be welcomed by both the student and practising statistician wishing to study at a fairly elementary level, the basic conceptual and interpretative distinctions between the different approaches, how they interrelate, what assumptions they are based on, and the practical implications of such distinctions. As in earlier editions, the material is set in a historical context to more powerfully illustrate the ideas and concepts. aeo Includes fully updated and revised material from the successful second edition aeo Recent changes in emphasis, principle and methodology are carefully explained and evaluated aeo Discusses all recent major developments aeo Particular attention is given to the nature and importance of basic concepts (probability, utility, likelihood etc) aeo Includes extensive references and bibliography Written by a well--known and respected author, the essence of this successful book remains unchanged providing the reader with a thorough explanation of the many approaches to inference and decision making. |
