Book Information and Exponential Families

Download or read book Information and Exponential Families written by O. Barndorff-Nielsen and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-05-07 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published by Wiley in 1978, this book is being re-issued with a new Preface by the author. The roots of the book lie in the writings of RA Fisher both as concerns results and the general stance to statistical science, and this stance was the determining factor in the author's selection of topics. His treatise brings together results on aspects of statistical information, notably concerning likelihood functions, plausibility functions, ancillarity, and sufficiency, and on exponential families of probability distributions.

Book Exponential Families of Stochastic Processes

Download or read book Exponential Families of Stochastic Processes written by Uwe Küchler and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-05-09 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive account of the statistical theory of exponential families of stochastic processes. The book reviews the progress in the field made over the last ten years or so by the authors - two of the leading experts in the field - and several other researchers. The theory is applied to a broad spectrum of examples, covering a large number of frequently applied stochastic process models with discrete as well as continuous time. To make the reading even easier for statisticians with only a basic background in the theory of stochastic process, the first part of the book is based on classical theory of stochastic processes only, while stochastic calculus is used later. Most of the concepts and tools from stochastic calculus needed when working with inference for stochastic processes are introduced and explained without proof in an appendix. This appendix can also be used independently as an introduction to stochastic calculus for statisticians. Numerous exercises are also included.

Book Multivariate Exponential Families  A Concise Guide to Statistical Inference

Download or read book Multivariate Exponential Families A Concise Guide to Statistical Inference written by Stefan Bedbur and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-07 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a concise introduction to exponential families. Parametric families of probability distributions and their properties are extensively studied in the literature on statistical modeling and inference. Exponential families of distributions comprise density functions of a particular form, which enables general assertions and leads to nice features. With a focus on parameter estimation and hypotheses testing, the text introduces the reader to distributional and statistical properties of multivariate and multiparameter exponential families along with a variety of detailed examples. The material is widely self-contained and written in a mathematical setting. It may serve both as a concise, mathematically rigorous course on exponential families in a systematic structure and as an introduction to Mathematical Statistics restricted to the use of exponential families.

Book Exponential Families in Theory and Practice

Download or read book Exponential Families in Theory and Practice written by Bradley Efron and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-12-15 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the past half-century, exponential families have attained a position at the center of parametric statistical inference. Theoretical advances have been matched, and more than matched, in the world of applications, where logistic regression by itself has become the go-to methodology in medical statistics, computer-based prediction algorithms, and the social sciences. This book is based on a one-semester graduate course for first year Ph.D. and advanced master's students. After presenting the basic structure of univariate and multivariate exponential families, their application to generalized linear models including logistic and Poisson regression is described in detail, emphasizing geometrical ideas, computational practice, and the analogy with ordinary linear regression. Connections are made with a variety of current statistical methodologies: missing data, survival analysis and proportional hazards, false discovery rates, bootstrapping, and empirical Bayes analysis. The book connects exponential family theory with its applications in a way that doesn't require advanced mathematical preparation.

Book excerpt: This book gives a comprehensive introduction to exponential family nonlinear models, which are the natural extension of generalized linear models and normal nonlinear regression models. The differential geometric framework is presented for these models and geometric methods are widely used in this book. This book is ideally suited for researchers in statistical interfaces and graduate students with a basic knowledge of statistics.

Book Information Theory and Statistics

Download or read book Information Theory and Statistics written by Imre Csiszár and published by Now Publishers Inc. This book was released on 2004 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Information Theory and Statistics: A Tutorial is concerned with applications of information theory concepts in statistics, in the finite alphabet setting. The topics covered include large deviations, hypothesis testing, maximum likelihood estimation in exponential families, analysis of contingency tables, and iterative algorithms with an "information geometry" background. Also, an introduction is provided to the theory of universal coding, and to statistical inference via the minimum description length principle motivated by that theory. The tutorial does not assume the reader has an in-depth knowledge of Information Theory or statistics. As such, Information Theory and Statistics: A Tutorial, is an excellent introductory text to this highly-important topic in mathematics, computer science and electrical engineering. It provides both students and researchers with an invaluable resource to quickly get up to speed in the field.

Download or read book Theoretical Statistics written by Robert W. Keener and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-09-08 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intended as the text for a sequence of advanced courses, this book covers major topics in theoretical statistics in a concise and rigorous fashion. The discussion assumes a background in advanced calculus, linear algebra, probability, and some analysis and topology. Measure theory is used, but the notation and basic results needed are presented in an initial chapter on probability, so prior knowledge of these topics is not essential. The presentation is designed to expose students to as many of the central ideas and topics in the discipline as possible, balancing various approaches to inference as well as exact, numerical, and large sample methods. Moving beyond more standard material, the book includes chapters introducing bootstrap methods, nonparametric regression, equivariant estimation, empirical Bayes, and sequential design and analysis. The book has a rich collection of exercises. Several of them illustrate how the theory developed in the book may be used in various applications. Solutions to many of the exercises are included in an appendix.

Book Statistical Theory and Inference

Download or read book Statistical Theory and Inference written by David J. Olive and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-05-07 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text is for a one semester graduate course in statistical theory and covers minimal and complete sufficient statistics, maximum likelihood estimators, method of moments, bias and mean square error, uniform minimum variance estimators and the Cramer-Rao lower bound, an introduction to large sample theory, likelihood ratio tests and uniformly most powerful tests and the Neyman Pearson Lemma. A major goal of this text is to make these topics much more accessible to students by using the theory of exponential families. Exponential families, indicator functions and the support of the distribution are used throughout the text to simplify the theory. More than 50 ``brand name" distributions are used to illustrate the theory with many examples of exponential families, maximum likelihood estimators and uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimators. There are many homework problems with over 30 pages of solutions.
