Introduction to Statistics
Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-319-17703-8 (ISBN)
This book covers all the topics found in introductory descriptive statistics courses, including simple linear regression and time series analysis, the fundamentals of inferential statistics (probability theory, random sampling and estimation theory), and inferential statistics itself (confidence intervals, testing).
Each chapter starts with the necessary theoretical background, which is followed by a variety of examples. The core examples are based on the content of the respective chapter, while the advanced examples, designed to deepen students' knowledge, also draw on information and material from previous chapters.
The enhanced online version helps students grasp the complexity and the practical relevance of statistical analysis through interactive examples and is suitable for undergraduate and graduate students taking their first statistics courses, as well as for undergraduate students in non-mathematical fields, e.g. economics, the social sciences etc.
Wolfgang Karl Härdle is the Ladislaus von Bortkiewicz Professor of Statistics at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and director of C.A.S.E. (Center for Applied Statistics and Economics), director of the CRC-649 (Collaborative Research Center) "Economic Risk" and director of the IRTG 1792 "High Dimensional Non-stationary Time Series". He teaches quantitative finance and semi-parametric statistics. His research focuses on dynamic factor models, multivariate statistics in finance and computational statistics. He is an elected member of the ISI (International Statistical Institute) and advisor to the Guanghua School of Management, Peking University and a senior fellow of Sim Kee Boon Institute of Financial Economics at the Singapore Management University. Sigbert Klinke is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Ladislaus von Bortkiewicz Chair of Statistics at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. He received his PhD in computational statistics from the Catholique Uni versity in Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium. He teaches introductory statistics courses and data analytical courses for bachelor and master students in Economics and Educational Science at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin's School of Business and Economics. His research focuses on computational and multivariate statistics and the teaching of statistics.
