Mathematical Statistics with Applications: The Feminine Ideal

C'est le meilleur livre de statistiques que je connaisse. Un bon livre théorique qui donne de sérieuses bases dans la matière. Il s'adresse à un public pour qui les mathématiques ne posent pas de problème, donc pour les étudiants ingénieurs qui y trouveront les outils nécessaires à une bonne compréhension des statistiques. Par contre, il ne s'adresse absolument pas à ceux qui auraient juste le besoin d'utiliser les statistiques dans leur travail (psychologues, économistes etc.). Pour ces derniers, mon choix irait vers le Wannacot, autre excellent livre de référence, malheureusement pas assez utilisé dans nos universités. J'oubliais: ce livre s'adresse uniquement à ceux qui lisent l'anglais.

Product arrived quicker than anticipated. However, I was expecting the book to be brand new and sealed and this wasn't the case. Overall, a very concise book for anyone who is looking to indulge in Statistical Theory.

I used this textbook in an introductory probability class taught by an outstanding biostatistics professor who has used this edition since publication in 2008. The professor’s very well developed class notes were the most important resource. Wackerly’s text book was an excellent adjunct, especially because of the homework problems. The problems ranged from direct takeoffs from examples in the chapter, to difficult problems that introduced new principles as extensions of the chapter material. The professor posted homework answer keys with solutions, so the homework was valuable. Be cautious if you buy the international versions of this book. Although the chapter material is supposed to be the same and the international paperback costs substantially less, the order/numbering is slightly different for some homework problems. My professor pointed out the numbering discrepancies for our assigned problems, but a less experienced lecturer may not be aware of this. Order the book as early as possible. I ordered on the 1st day of class and got the hard copy edition, but many classmates had to order the paperback from other sources.

very good
