Much has happened in this field since the second edition was published: for example, Bayesian inferential procedures have not only gained acceptance but are often the preferred methodology. This book will be welcomed by both the student and practising statistician wishing to study at a fairly elementary level, the basic conceptual and interpretative distinctions between the different approaches, how they interrelate, what assumptions they are based on, and the practical implications of such distinctions. \u003cp\u003eAs in earlier editions, the material is set in a historical context to more powerfully illustrate the ideas and concepts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes fully updated and revised material from the successful second edition\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRecent changes in emphasis, principle and methodology are carefully explained and evaluated\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses all recent major developments\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eParticular attention is given to the nature and importance of basic concepts (probability, utility, likelihood etc)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes extensive references and bibliography\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten by a well-known and respected author, the essence of this successful book remains unchanged providing the reader with a thorough explanation of the many approaches to inference and decision making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVic Barnett\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eComparative Statistical Inference\u003c\/i\u003e, 3rd Edition, published by Wiley.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 August 1999\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWiley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9780471976431\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e416\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e27.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44310564339852,"sku":"9780471976431","price":291.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780471976431.jpg?v=1780164608","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780471976431","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
