In this book, the author finds that many of the important concepts of mathematical statistics can be associated with physical models; and that the optimality criteria of statistical estimation procedures can often be interpreted in terms of the concept of potential energy.
Industry Reviews
"The text contains many excellent geometrical approaches to deriving solutions to the optimization problems considered. The reader of this book will benefit from the visualization of statistical models that is a consequence of framing statistical optimization problems in terms of physical systems. [T]he author provides an excellent account of the complete development of each problem, replete with historical and contemporary references. Overall, this is an excellent treatment at a very basic level of subject mater that is potentially of great benefit to students and practitioners of statistical methods." - Journal of the American Statistical Association, March 2004
