Introduction to Mathematical StatisticsAn exceptionally clear and impeccably accurate presentation of statistical applications and more advanced theory. Included is a chapter on the distribution of functions of random variables as well as an excellent chapter on sufficient statistics. More modern technology is used in considering limiting distributions, making the presentations more clear and uniform. |

The Probability Set Function Let # denote the set of every possible outcome of a
random experiment; that is, # is the sample space. It is our purpose to define a set
function P{C) such that if C is a subset of #, then P{C) is the probability that the ...

Whether this probability set function is realistic can only be checked by
performing the random experiment a large number of times. EXERCISES 1.17. A
positive integer from one to six is to be chosen by casting a die. Thus the
elements c of the ...

But these are precisely the conditions that a probability set function must satisfy.
Accordingly, P(C2\C\) is a probability set function, defined for subsets of Cx . It
may be called the conditional probability set function, relative to the hypothesis C,
; ...
