Gentle Preface: Mathematical Statistics After teaching mathematical Statistics for several years using chalk on a black- board (and, later, smelly dry erase markers on a whiteboard) mostly doing proofs of theorems, I decided to lecture from computer slides that provide an outline of the big picture . Rather than spend class time doing proofs that are given in standard texts, I decided that time would be better spent discussing the material from a different, higher-level perspective. While lecturing from canned slides, I cannot, however, ignore certain de- tails of proofs and minutiae of examples. But what details and which minutiae? To be effective, my approach depends on an understanding between students and the instructor, an understanding that is possibly implicit.
material for statistics, which is the real topic of this text. Chapter 2 is also on probability,but the focus is on the applications in statistics. In that chapter, I address some important properties of probability distributions that determine properties of statistical methods when applied to …
