GOOD: The book is in good condition, with its binding tight and its covers and pages free from writing, except for the front end page that has a former owner's name. There are only a few small signs of use and wear and the back cover is slightly faded. This is a vintage book (1982).Product Details
From the back cover: "This book provides a systematic statement of the theory of statistics with emphasis placed on general concepts rather than on mathematical rigour. The first three chapters provide an overview of statistics and some of the basic philosophical ideas and problems behind statistical procedures. Chapters Four and Five cover hypothesis testing with simple and null hypotheses respectively. Then follow chapters on non-parametrics, interval estimations, point estimation, asymptotics, Bayesian procedure and deviation theory. A familiarity with standard statistical techniques is assumed."BRIEF CONTENTS
