Product Description This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to mathematical statistics principles underlying statistical analyses in the fields of economics, business, and econometrics. The selection of topics is designed to provide students with a substantial conceptual foundation from which to achieve a thorough and mature understanding of statistical applications within the fields. The examples and problems are intended to show the wide applicability of statistics in the fields, with the large majority having specific business and economic contexts. After introducing the concepts of probability, random variables, and probability density functions, the author develops the key concepts of mathematical statistics, notably: expectation, sampling, asymptotics, and the main families of distributions. The latter half of the book is then devoted to the theories of estimation and hypothesis testing with associated examples and problems that indicate their wide applicability in economics and business. | ||

Excellent Prep for Econ PhD I bought this book because I was worried about starting an Econ PhD program without any experience in mathematical statistics. I am so incredibly pleased with my purchase. The author clearly lays out the axiomatic theory of probability and then continues to mathematical statistics, using many examples drawn entirely from economics. It is so helpful to see the connection to the material where I will actually be using probability. I'm so glad that I bought this book instead of a more general approach to probability and statistics. | ||
Fantastic Book This is an excellent book on mathematical statistics. Although the treatment is less mathematical than if it were written for engineers or mathematicians, the gist of the topics is clearly written and the format is easy to follow. It covers all major topics needed for a firm understanding of mathematical statistics, and is a good background to econometric theory. I must admit that I did not know who the author was prior to reading this book, but he is one of the more decent writers out there who uses the right amount of mathematics to get the point across. | ||
outstanding textbook One of the most beautifully written books in mathematical statistics with the right mix of rigor and simplicity. A must read book before jumping into econometrics. | ||
