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 the updated Spring 2001 version of the lecture notes.
The original Spring 2000 version of the lecture notes
is accessible through the
Mathematical Statistics II
(Spring 2000) Web site.
I would like to thank my students, Hanadi B. Eltahir, Rich Madsen, and Bill
Morphet, who helped during the Fall 1999 and Spring 2000 semesters
in typesetting these lecture notes using LaTeX and for their suggestions
how to improve some of the material
presented in class.
Thanks are also due to my Fall 2000 and Spring 2001 semester students,
Weiping Deng, David B. Neal, Emily Simmons, Shea Watrin,
Aonan Zhang, and Qian Zhao, for their comments that helped
to improve these lecture notes.
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
