Lectures in Mathematical Statistics, Parts 1 and 2 (AMS Translations of Mathematical Monographs, Volume 229)

This work is intended for the advanced study of topics in mathematical statistics. The first part of the book is devoted to sampling theory (from one-dimensional and multidimensional distributions), asymptotic properties of sampling, parameter estimation, sufficient statistics, and statistical estimates. The second part covers hypothesis testing and discusses families of statistical hypotheses that can be asymptotically distinguished. Readers should have background in probability theory and mathematical statistics. The book was first published in Russian in 1999 by Istoki, Donetsk, Ukraine.
