Mathematical statistics with applications

What Hacker News says

   My grind was "Mathematical Statistics with Applications" by Wackerly et al. There are PDF versions if you Google for it. I can't say it was quick, easy or intuitive; but it works.

   I also liked "In all Likelihood" by Pawitan for a "likelihoodist" foundational approach.

   >> how many intro stats book, of the traditional kind, mention MLE, method of moments, biased vs unbiased estimators, etc...? None that I've seen

   Oh - there are quite a few. Here's a small sample (no pun intended):

   - Probability and Statistical Inference by Hogg & Tanis (we used this in my stats course)

   - Modern Mathematical Statistics with Applications by Devore & Berk

   - Probability and Statistics by DeGroot & Schervish

   Another good book is "Mathematical statistics with applications" by Wackerly et al. It's focus is more on the application of the toolkit from probability, but about half the book focuses on the background of probability theory. What's great is that by the end of the book you will have a great introductory perspective of both frequentist and bayesian statistics. There are some gaps in the book, but it's a great reference nevertheless.
