Statistical Inference Based on Divergence Measures by Leandro Pardo
Presents classical problems of statistical inference, such as estimation and hypothesis testing, on the basis of measures of entropy and divergence with applications to multinomial and generation populations. On the basis of divergence measures, this book introduces minimum divergence estimators as well as divergence test statistics."There are a number of measures of divergence between distributionsDescribing them properly requires a very mathematically well-written book, which the author here provides … This book is a fine course text, and is beautifully produced. There are about four hundred references. Recommended."
