Elements of Distribution Theory by Thomas A. Severini (English) Hardcover Book

Description: Elements of Distribution Theory by Thomas A. Severini Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This detailed introduction to distribution theory is designed as a text for the probability portion of the first year statistical theory sequence for Master's and PhD students in statistics, biostatistics, and econometrics. The text uses no measure theory, requiring only a background in calculus and linear algebra. Topics range from the basic distribution and density functions, expectation, conditioning, characteristic functions, cumulants, convergence in distribution and the central limit theorem to more advanced concepts such as exchangeability, models with a group structure, asymptotic approximations to integrals and orthogonal polynomials. An appendix gives a detailed summary of the mathematical definitions and results that are used in the book. Publisher Description This detailed introduction to distribution theory uses no measure theory, making it suitable for students in statistics and econometrics as well as for researchers who use statistical methods. Good backgrounds in calculus and linear algebra are important and a course in elementary mathematical analysis is useful, but not required. An appendix gives a detailed summary of the mathematical definitions and results that are used in the book. Topics covered range from the basic distribution and density functions, expectation, conditioning, characteristic functions, cumulants, convergence in distribution and the central limit theorem to more advanced concepts such as exchangeability, models with a group structure, asymptotic approximations to integrals, orthogonal polynomials, and saddlepoint approximations. The emphasis is on topics useful in understanding statistical methodology; thus, parametric statistical models and the distribution theory associated with the normal distribution are covered comprehensively. Author Biography Thomas A. Severini received his Ph.D. in Statistics from the University of Chicago. He is now a Professor of Statistics at Northwestern University. Aside from this book, he has also written Likelihood Methods in Statistics, published by Oxford University Press. Hes published extensively in statistical journals such as Biometrika, Journal of the American Statistical Association, and Journal of the Royal Statistical Society. He is a member of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and the American Statistical Association.
