Statistics for Mathematicians

Victor M. Panaretos - Personal Name;

This book is intended as a text for Mathematics students taking their first course in
Statistics, and grew out of my second-year course for mathematics undergraduates at
EPFL. It is a book on “Statistics for Mathematicians” rather than on “Mathematical
Statistics”: the intent is not to focus on the deeper mathematical/theoretical aspects
of the subject but rather to provide an introduction to the basic notions tailored
to the mindset and tastes of the Mathematics student. Mathematics students are
sometimes put off by the informal nature of first courses in Statistics, since many
results are usually stated without proof or are accompanied by heuristic sketches
of proofs. Another risk may be that of “intellectual entropy”, when too many (and
diverse) topics are covered in a single course, risking the impression of Statistics
as a collection of recipes lacking natural connection. This book can be used as a
basis for an elementary semester-long first course in Statistics that presents the basic
ideas of one-parameter inference in a coherent manner, while making essentially no
sacrifices on matters of rigour. It is meant to be compact, so as to be realistic to
be covered in full during a single semester, and yet hopefully attract mathematics
students to pursuing further elective courses in Statistics. In more detail, the three
main tasks this text sets out to address are as follows.
