Description
Core Statistics provides a concise introduction to the fundamentals of inference for parametric statistical models. It covers both theoretical and practical numerical computation, focusing on general methods applicable to various models. This book offers a lively overview of theory and tools needed for serious statistical analysis, including inference, modeling, and computation. The book considers two approaches: frequentist maximum likelihood and Bayesian stochastic simulation. It explains how these methods address common questions and provides guidance on developing suitable methods for non-standard situations, such as in ecology, big data, and genomics. Suitable for both beginning graduate students and quantitative scientists who use statistical methods, Core Statistics aims to deepen readers' understanding of why and when methods work, making it an essential resource for those looking to develop their statistical analysis skills.
