Probability for Statisticians de Galen R. Shorack

Probability for Statisticians: Springer Texts in Statistics

Autor Galen R. Shorack

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 oct 2017

This 2nd edition textbook offers a rigorous introduction to measure theoretic probability with particular attention to topics of interest to mathematical statisticians—a textbook for courses in probability for students in mathematical statistics. It is recommended to anyone interested in the probability underlying modern statistics, providing a solid grounding in the probabilistic tools and techniques necessary to do theoretical research in statistics. For the teaching of probability theory to post graduate statistics students, this is one of the most attractive books available.
Of particular interest is a presentation of the major central limit theorems via Stein's method either prior to or alternative to a characteristic function presentation. Additionally, there is considerable emphasis placed on the quantile function as well as the distribution function. The bootstrap and trimming are both presented. Martingale coverage includes coverage of censored data martingales. The text includes measure theoretic preliminaries, from which the authors own course typically includes selected coverage.

This is a heavily reworked and considerably shortened version of the first edition of this textbook. "Extra" and background material has been either removed or moved to the appendices and important rearrangement of chapters has taken place to facilitate this book's intended use as a textbook.

Recenzii

“It discusses measure theoretic probability from the viewpoint of what a theoretical statistician needs to know, and includes many details that an applied statistician may need to look up on occasion. Reading it frequently feels like you are sitting next to the author, with him pointing out the important parts, and suggesting how to think about things. I enjoyed that aspect very much, and it helps to solidify the readers understanding.” (Peter Rabinovitch, MAA Reviews, January, 2018)

Notă biografică

Galen Shorack, PhD, is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Statistics (of which he was a founding member) and Adjunct Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Washington, Seattle.

New to this edition:

Still up front and central in the book, Chapters 1-5 provide the "measure theory" necessary for the rest of the textbook and Chapters 6-7 adapt that measure-theoretic background to the special needs of probability theory
Develops both mathematical tools and specialized probabilistic tools
Chapters organized by number of lectures to cover requisite topics, optional lectures, and self-study
Exercises interspersed within the text
Guidance provided to instructors to help in choosing topics of emphasis

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Probability for Statisticians is intended as a text for a one year graduate course aimed especially at students in statistics. The choice of examples illustrates this intention clearly. The material to be presented in the classroom constitutes a bit more than half the text, and the choices the author makes at the University of Washington in Seattle are spelled out. The rest of the text provides background, offers different routes that could be pursued in the classroom, ad offers additional material that is appropriate for self-study. Of particular interest is a presentation of the major central limit theorems via Stein's method either prior to or alternative to a characteristic funcion presentation. Additionally, there is considerable emphasis placed on the quantile function as well as the distribution function. The bootstrap and trimming are both presented. The martingale coverage includes coverage of censored data martingales. The text includes measure theoretic preliminaries, from which the authors own course typically includes selected coverage. The author is a professor of Statistics and adjunct professor of Mathematics at the University of Washington in Seattle. He served as chair of the Department of Statistics 1986-- 1989. He received his PhD in Statistics from Stanford University. He is a fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, and is a former associate editor of the Annals of Statistics.
