Welcome to the Stat 6720 Webpage. This page contains news and
additional information regarding this class that becomes
available during the semester.
It is updated whenever
new dates, times, or other information become available.
You can access the
postscript version (best
for printing) and the
pdf version (fastest access)
of our lecture notes.
I would like to thank my students, Hanadi B. Eltahir,
Rich Madsen, and Bill Morphet, who helped in typesetting
these notes using Latex and for their suggestions how
to improve some of the material presented in class.
In addition, I particularly would
like to thank Mike Minnotte and Dan Coster,
who previously taught this course at Utah State University,
for providing me with their lecture notes and other
materials related to this course.
This course closely follows Rohatgi (1976) as described
in the syllabus.
Additional material originates from the lectures
from Professors Hering, Trenkler, and Gather I have
attended while studying at the Universität
Dortmund, Germany, the collection
of Masters and PhD Preliminary Exam questions from
Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa, and the following
textbooks:
- Bandelow, C. (1981): Einführung in die Wahrscheinlichkeitstheorie,
Bibliographisches Institut, Mannheim, Germany.
- Casella, G., and Berger, R. L. (1990): Statistical Inference,
Wadsworth & Brooks/Cole, Pacific Grove, CA.

Wiley, New York, NY.
- Searle, S. R. (1971): Linear Models,

Additional definitions, integrals, sums, etc. originate from
the following formula collections:

As a good source for Latex, I can recommend
the following book (or an English translation by the same author):
