Introduction to Mathematical Statistics (Hogg, McKean & Craig)

Introduction to Mathematical Statistics by Hogg, McKean and Craig

Students and lecturers often call this book simply “Hogg and Craig”. Introduction to Mathematical Statistics by Hogg, McKean and Craig is a theory-led textbook from Robert Hogg, Joseph McKean and Allen Craig. This listing is the 768-page paperback published by Pearson Education in 2018, written in English.

The book leans toward mathematical theory. It treats probability and statistics as a branch of mathematics, so results are developed and justified rather than simply stated.

What the book covers

General probability and statistics concepts form the core, set out through a detailed table of contents that moves through the subject in order. Readers get a thorough introduction to mathematical statistics, with the emphasis on why methods work.

Who reaches for it

Upper-level undergraduates and graduate students in statistics and mathematics are the natural readers. Professionals who want the theoretical background behind the statistical tools they already use will find it useful as a reference.

Matching the book to your course

Several mathematical statistics texts carry almost the same name, so compare the author line before you buy. This is the Hogg, McKean and Craig book, in the 2018 Pearson Education paperback of 768 pages. If your syllabus gives an edition number, check it against your course listing, since this listing does not state one. Students who prefer to see results proved rather than quoted tend to get on well with this text, because it shows the reasoning behind each method instead of just the recipe.
