John E. Freund's Mathematical Statistics With Applications covers the theory and practical application of statistical theories. Summary Of The Book Statistics is not just about the collection of data, it involves making logical inferences from the collected data. Statistics provide the fundamental rules for predicting the behavior of systems that involve uncertainties. This can involve anything from flipping a coin to a game of chance, to predictions of the future trends in the economy to predicting election results, and other varied uses. John E. Freund's Mathematical Statistics With Applications provides an extensive, calculus based introduction the theory and practice of statistics. It provides an in-depth coverage of the subject, with illustrative examples and numerous exercises. The book presents a broad and deep coverage of the subject, including emerging statistical theories and practices, and new techniques in teaching the subject. This edition of the book has been extensively revised to present practical applications of theory in various situations. Each chapter begins with an overview of the concepts being discussed in it, then contains an extensive explanation of the concepts, and ends with exercises and a section that illustrates the practical applications of the theory discussed in the chapter. With the increasing use of computers in the field of statistics, the book also provides a lot of exercises that involve the use of computers. With more than 1000 exercises, many of which have to be worked out on a computer, it provides enough practice for the students to fully understand the concepts. The Theory In Application section at the end of each chapter illustrates the many practical uses of statistical concepts and theories. The book also contains a lot of illustrative examples, boxes highlighting important points, highlighted keywords and numerous graphs and charts.
