Unlike many other texts that focus on methodology and applications, this book focuses on a rather unique combination of theoretical and foundational aspects that underlie the field of statistical inference. Readers gain a deeper understanding of the evolution and underlying logic of each mode as well as each mode's strengths and weaknesses.The book begins with fascinating highlights fromWiley series in probability and statistics.ProbabilitiesMathematical statisticsDistribution (Probability theory)Probabilities.Mathematical statistics.Distribution (Probability theory)519.5/4Geisser Seymour102951Johnson Wesley O1841949MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911019954203321Modes of parametric statistical inference4421859UNINA03134nam 22005293 450 991102599950332120220924060213.097817891465161789146518(MiAaPQ)EBC30101102(Au-PeEL)EBL30101102(CKB)24876141600041(BIP)085740428(Exl-AI)30101102(OCoLC)1345589507(Perlego)3732493(EXLCZ)992487614160004120220924d2022 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierCloven Country The Devil and the English Landscape1st ed.London :Reaktion Books, Limited,2022.©2022.1 online resource (296 pages)9781789148336 1789148332 9781789146509 178914650X Cover -- Title Page -- Copyright -- Contents -- Introduction -- 1.

Cloven Country tells of rocks hurled into place and valleys carved out by infernal labor. The Devil's hideous strength laid down great roads in one night and left scars everywhere as the hard stone melted like wax under those burning feet. With roots in medieval folklore of giants and spirits, this is not the Satan of prayer, but a clumsy ogre, easily fooled by humankind. When a smart cobbler or cunning young wife outwitted him, they struck a blow for the underdog. Only the wicked squire and grasping merchant were beyond redemption, carried off by a black huntsman in the storm. Cloven Country offers a fascinating panorama of these decidedly sinister English tales.FolkloreGenerated by AIMythology, EnglishGenerated by AIFolkloreMythology, English398.20942Harte Jeremy1827040MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911025999503321Cloven Country4433898UNINA
