Subject outline
This subject builds on the knowledge of classical statistical inference developed in either STA3SI (Statistical Inference) or STA4SI (Statistical Inference). It consists of a selection of material from the following chapters of Casella and Berger (2002): Chapter 6 (Principles of Data Reduction), Chapter 7 (Point Estimation), Chapter 8 (Hypothesis Testing), Chapter 9 (Interval Estimation) and Chapter 10 (Asymptotic Evaluations). This also includes an introduction to the effect of model selection on confidence intervals. This subject is co-offered with STA4TS although assumes a deeper level of understanding of the subject content.
