The two volumes of this edition cover the range of Lehmann's monumental contribution to statistics, including his groundbreaking work on nonparametrics. Complete with commentaries and an exhaustive bibliography, this should be in every statistician's library.

These volumes present a selection of Erich L. Lehmann's monumental contributions to Statistics. These works are multifaceted. His early work included fundamental contributions to hypothesis testing, theory of point estimation, and more generally to decision theory. His work in Nonparametric Statistics was groundbreaking. His fundamental contributions in this area include results that came to assuage the anxiety of statisticians that were skeptical of nonparametric methodologies, and his work on concepts of dependence has created a large literature.

The two volumes are divided into chapters of related works. Invited contributors have critiqued the papers in each chapter, and the reprinted group of papers follows each commentary. A complete bibliography that contains links to recorded talks by Erich Lehmann and which are freely accessible to the public and a list of Ph.D. students are also included. These volumes belong in every statistician's personal collection and are a required holding for any institutional library.

Collects Lehmann's important papers in one convenient volume Includes complete bibliography Includes commentaries by important statisticians working today Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

Klappentext

These volumes present a selection of Erich L. Lehmann s monumental contributions to Statistics. These works are multifaceted. His early work included fundamental contributions to hypothesis testing, theory of point estimation, and more generally to decision theory. His work in Nonparametric Statistics was groundbreaking. His fundamental contributions in this area include results that came to assuage the anxiety of statisticians that were skeptical of nonparametric methodologies, and his work on concepts of dependence has created a large literature. The two volumes are divided into chapters of related works. Invited contributors have critiqued the papers in each chapter, and the reprinted group of papers follows each commentary. A complete bibliography that contains links to recorded talks by Erich Lehmann and which are freely accessible to the public and a list of Ph.D. students are also included. These volumes belong in every statistician s personal collection and are a required holding for any institutional library.
