Any thoughts on "Introduction to Mathematical Statistics" by Hogg, Craig, and McKean?
Dear PF members,
I was looking for a textbook for my mathematical statistics course, and it turns out that Introduction to Mathematical Statics by Hogg, Craig, and McKean will be the book for the course. I've read some reviews on https://www.amazon.com/dp/0130085073/?tag=pfamazon01-20, and it has some various comments like "It's a fairly good book" as well as "It's not a good introductory book for statistics!" So I was wondering if any of you have any comment on this book. I have never taken probability and statistics before (I learned it a little bit in high school, but that's just about it), but I have satisfied the prerequisite for the class (i.e. multivariable calculus and linear algebra).
Thanks
