Kendall's Advanced Theory of Statistic 2B

Kendall's Advanced Theory of Statistics and Kendall's Library of Statistics

The development of modern statistical theory in the past fifty years is reflected in the history of the late Sir Maurice Kenfall's volumes The Advanced Theory of Statistics. The Advanced Theory began life as a two-volume work, and since its first appearance in 1943, has been an indispensable source for the core theory of classical statistics. With Bayesian Inference, the same high standard has been applied to this important and exciting new body of theory.

Anthony O'Hagan is the author of Kendall's Advanced Theory of Statistic 2B, published by Wiley.
