Klappentext A broad view of exact statistical inference and the development of asymptotic statistical inference. Zusammenfassung This book presents a broad view of exact statistical inference and the development of asymptotic statistical inference! providing a justification for the use of asymptotic methods for large samples. Results are applied to a variety of problems that include categorical data! regression! and survival analyses. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. Motivation and basic tools; 2. Estimation theory; 3.
