Mathematical Statistics With Applications

Probability Theory and Statistical Methods for Engineers describes the fundamental concepts and applications of probability and statistics. By bringing together modern probability theory with the more practical applications of statistics, it bridges the gap between theory and practice. Topics such as, for example, Fourier transforms and stochastic processes are presented as a series of methods or recipes which can be applied to specific problems, but for this they need to be well understood.

This book was written to serve as a graduate-level textbook for special topics classes in mathematics, statistics, and economics, to introduce these topics to other researchers, and for use in short courses. It is an introduction to the theory of majorization and related notions, and contains detailed material on economic applications of majorization and the Lorenz order, investigating the theoretical aspects of these two interrelated orderings.
