Common Errors in Statistics and How to Avoid Them by Phillip I. Good & James W. Hardin (2nd ed, 2006). Readable, informal introduction to statistical procedures. Includes basic concepts, hypothesis testing and estimation, p-values and confidence intervals, graphics, model selection, regression methods, multivariate regression, and model validation. Graduate level Introduction to mathematical statistics by Robert Hogg, Joseph McKean & Allen Craig (6th ed, 2005). Graduate-level survey of mathematical statistics with a strong mathematical component. Covers probability & distributions, convergence, confidence intervals, Monte Carlo and bootstrap, maximum likelihood methods, EM Algorithm, sufficiency, optimal hypothesis tests, ANOVA and normal models, nonparametric statistics, Bayesian statistics, linear models (robust, least squares, Wilcoxon, general). Essentials of Statistical Inference by G. A. Young and R. L. Smith (2005). Slim text developed at the University of Cambridge with emphasis on computational techniques (e.g. bootstrap, MCMC). Includes Bayesian methods and decision theory, hypothesis testing, sufficiency, confidence sets, likelihood theory, prediction, bootstrap methods, and other topics (e.g. pseudo-likelihoods, Edgeworth expansion, Bayesian asymptotics). All of statistics: A concise course in statistical inference by Larry Wasserman (2004). Intended for graduate students in allied fields, this book gives a presentation of a wide range of topics with emphasis on mathematical background and theorems. Topics include random variables, expectations, empirical distribution functions, bootstrap, maximum likelihood, hypothesis testing, Bayesian inference, linear and loglinear models, multivariate models, graphs, density estimation, classification, stochastic processes and simulation methods. Web page provides R code and datasets. Principles of Statistical Inference by D. R. Cox (2006). A slim volume by a distinguished statistician, this gives a discursive, fairly advanced, presentation of fundamental issues including comparison of frequentist and Bayesian approaches. Topics include interpretations of uncertainty, significant tests, asymptotic theory, aspects of maximum likelihood. Comparative Statistical Inference by Vic Barnett (3rd ed, 1999). Detailed and well-written comparison of three approaches in modern statistics: classical frequentist, Bayesian, and decision theoretical. Includes illustration of the approaches, views of probability, utility and decision-making, and other approaches to inference (e.g. fiducial, structural). Statistical Models by A. C. Davison (2003). A thick textbook with examples in R covering topics including confidence intervals, likelihood and model selection, stochastic models, point and Poisson processes, estimation and hypothesis testing, linear and nonlinear regression models, Bayesian models, conditional and marginal inference. Testing Statistical Hypotheses and Theory of Point Estimation by E. L. Lehmann & Joseph P. Romano (3rd ed, 2005) and by E. L. Lehmann & George Casella (2nd ed, 1998). Lehmann's classic, comprehensive graduate texts in mathematical statistics from the 1980s. Covers probability, unbiased tests, linear hypotheses (including chi-squared), minimax principle, conditional inference, Bayes estimation, large-sample theory, asymptotic optimality.
