John E. Freund's Mathematical Statistics with Applications, Eighth Edition, provides a calculus-based introduction to the theory and application of statistics, based on comprehensive coverage that reflects the latest in statistical thinking, the teaching of statistics, and current practices. This text is appropriate for a two-semester or three-quarter calculus-based course in Introduction to Mathematical Statistics. It can also be used for a single-semester course emphasizing probability, probability distributions and densities, sampling, and classical statistical inference.
It is a really good introductory book for the subject of statistics. I am from a non-statistics background (though I have studied mathematics) and I find this book really helpful to understand the basics of statistics.
I have this book (eigth edition). I am confused by the table of contents, below each subtitle, they write their name, are you kidding me ? For example: 1.introduction (Irwin Miller/ Marylees Miller)...14.Regression and Correlation(Irwin Miller/ Marylees Miller).....Appendix(Irwin Miller/ Marylees Miller),statistical tables((Irwin Miller/ Marylees Miller)) Can someone explain to me why they act like idiots?
This was my first formal introduction to statistics. If you have access to the solutions manual, I highly recommend it for undergraduate practice problems.
