Statistics, Theory and Practice
As one of the great statisticians of the century, Sir Maurice Kendall worked in areas covering an extraordinary range from intricate theory to detailed application. This memorial selection concentrates on a number of his less well known papers. They fall into four general groups. First are four papers concerned with applications, including his Presidential Address to the Royal Statistical Society. The next group consists of six papers on the theory of symmetric functions of sample observations. The third group includes a selection of Kendall's papers in the theory of ranking methods, including his 1938 discovery of the rank correlation coefficient since named after him. The last group of papers contains three of his early papers on the theory of time-series. General statistical readers as well as specialists will appreciate the book's sampling of Kendall's remarkable range of contributions.
Kendall's Advanced Theory of Statistics, Classical Inference and the Linear Model
The development of statistical theory in the past fifty years is faithfully reflected in the history of the late Sir Maurice Kendall’s volumes The Advanced Theory of Statistics. The Advanced Theory began life as a two volume work (Volume 1, 1943; Volume 2, 1946) and grew steadily, as a single authored work until the late fifties. At that point Alan Stuart became involved and the Advanced Theory was rewritten in three volumes. When Keith Ord joined in the early eighties, Volume 3 became the largest and plans were developed to expand it into a series of monographs called the Kendall's Library of Statistics which would devote a book to each of the modern developments in statistics. This serie...
Kendall's Advanced Theory of Statistics
Kendall's advanced theory of statistics is a landmark reference that began life as a two-volume work in the 1940s under the authorship of the latter Sir Maurice Kendall. Since the publication of these pioneering books, The advanced theory has undergone many changes and revisons, in line with the ongoing developments of modern statistical theory. It now consist of three major works complemented by the Kendall's library of statistics, a growing series covering new and developing areas of statistics. The series as a whole strives to maintain the aim declared by Kendall in his preface of the first edition of the Advanced theory, which was 'to develop a systematic treatment of [statistical] theor...
Kendall's Advanced Theory of Statistics: Distribution theory
This updated fifth edition signifies the most extensive rewriting of Sir Maurice Kendall's original work since its first appearance in three volumes in 1958. Known throughout the field as the definitive source book of statistical theory, this edition contains thoroughly revised text and modernized terminology. Chapters five and six, the central chapters on distribution, have been greatly expanded and feature new tables and diagrams to emphasize the relations between different systems. Chapters seven and eight give an updated presentation of probability theory, and chapter nine includes an extensive new treatment of the use of computers in statistics. Other theoretical treatments throughout the book include coverage of important topics in current research such as smoothing, kernel estimators, density estimators, the exponential family, saddlepoint approximations, and fractional and negative movements. In its scope and authority, the fifth edition of Kendall's Advanced Theory of Statistics constitutes a major achievement of mathematical scholarship and continues to be a vital and timely resource for students and statisticians.
