Statistical Inference Based on the Likelihood introduces likelihood-based statistical theory and related methods. It takes a classical point of view and denonstrates how the main body of statistical techniques can be generated from a few key concepts.
The Likelihood plays a key role in both introducing general notions of statistical theory, and in developing specific methods. This book introduces likelihood-based statistical theory and related methods from a classical viewpoint, and demonstrates how the main body of currently used statistical techniques can be generated from a few key concepts, in particular the likelihood.
Focusing on those methods, which have both a solid theoretical background and practical relevance, the author gives formal justification of the methods used and provides numerical examples with real data.
