Mathematical Statistics With Applications

Integrates the theory and applications of statistics using R A Course in Statistics with R has been written to bridge the gap between theory and applications and explain how mathematical expressions are converted into R programs. The book has been primarily designed as a useful companion for a Masters student during each semester of the course, but will also help applied statisticians in revisiting the underpinnings of the subject. With this dual goal in mind, the book begins with R basics and quickly covers visualization and exploratory analysis.

The analysis of real data by means of statistical methods with the aid of a software package common in industry and administration will certainly be part of a future professional work of many students in mathematics or mathematical statistics.

Hari M. Srivastava has held the position of Professor Emeritus in the Department of MathematicsandStatisticsattheUniversityofVictoriainCanadasince2006, havingjoinedthefaculty there in 1969, first as an Associate Professor (1969–1974) and then as a Full Professor (1974–2006).
