Mathematical Statistics with Resampling and R & Probability

An essential resource to simulations to support an understanding of statistics

Mathematical Statistics with Resampling and R & Probability with Applications and R Set offers a resource for intermediate and advanced statistics students who want to achieve an in-depth understanding of resampling techniques backed by practical implementation. This text is recommended for anyone with a background in mathematics, probability, and basic statistics who wants to learn about the theory and about resampling and how it relates to traditional methods, and how to implement resampling in R.
