Mathematical Statistics with Applications provides a calculus-based theoretical introduction to mathematical statistics while emphasizing interdisciplinary applications as well as exposure to modern statistical computational and simulation concepts that are not covered in other textbooks. Includes the Jackknife, Bootstrap methods, the EM algorithms and Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. Prior probability or statistics knowledge is not required.
This is an essentially worthless textbook with many errors (there is an Amazon review that details them thoroughly). Even if it were correct, it is unneccessarily complicated and difficult to follow.
