Welcome to the Stat 6710/7710 Webpage. This page contains news and additional information regarding this class that become available during the semester. It is updated whenever new dates, times, or other information become available.

You can now access the full 2009 version and the blanc 2009 version of the updated Fall 2009 version of the lecture notes. Early versions of these lecture notes are accessible through the Mathematical Statistics I (Fall 1999), Mathematical Statistics I (Fall 2000), and Mathematical Statistics I (Fall 2008) Web pages. However, there have been numerous corrections to these notes over the last eight years so that it is strongly recommended to download the current (8/22/2009) update of these notes. 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 about 40 Stat 6710/20 students over the last ten years for their comments and suggestions that helped to further 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.

And here are the news:

1) Stat 6710 Curriculum Fall 2009 and Stat 7710 Curriculum Fall 2009. (8/22/2009)
2) I have started to place some books related to Mathematical Statistics on reserve at the library. You can check here what is currently on reserve (the password is sym6710 and it is case sensitive). The recommendation is to look at some of these books in addition to Casella and Berger. (8/22/2009)
3) As in every printed book, there are errata in the Casella/Berger textbook. George Casella's Web page contains information on errata in his books, specifically files such as Errata for Statistical Inference, Second Edition (First Printing) ... Errata for Statistical Inference, Second Edition (Seventh Printing). You should occasionally check whether there are new errata being listed. (8/22/2009)
4) Office hours are MWF 11:00am-12:00noon and by appointment. (8/22/2009)
