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. |

distribution is so important to statisticians. That is, while not many underlying
distributions are normal, the distributions of statistics calculated from random ...

Can we find a function, say u(Y/n), whose variance is essentially free of pi Since
Y/n converges in probability to p, we can approximate u(Y/n) by the first two terms
of its Taylor's expansion about p, namely by Of course, v(Y/n) is a linear function ...

The reason that this may be approximate is due to the fact that Y has a
distribution of the discrete type and thus it is, in general, impossible to achieve
the probability 0.95 exactly. With c\{p) and c2(p) increasing functions, they have
single- ...
