Matrix Algebra From a Statistician's Perspective (eBook, PDF)

Beschreibung

This book offers thorough and unified coverage of the fundamental concepts of matrix algebra. Its approach will make it particularly suited to those with an interest in statistics or related disciplines. But it does much more, too: it is enlightening in specialized areas of statistics such as linear statistical models and multivariate analysis. David Harville, a former associate editor of the Journal of the American Statistical Association, ensures that the style and level of presentation make the contents accessible to a broad audience. It includes a number of very useful results that have, up to now, only been available from relatively obscure sources, and for which detailed proofs are provided. It also contains numerous exercises, the solutions to which can be found in the author's Matrix Algebra: Exercises and Solutions.

Rezensionen

From a review:

THE AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND JOURNAL OF STATISTICS

"This is a book that will be welcomed by many statisticians at most stages of professional development. ...It is essentially a carefully sequenced and tightly interlocking collections of proofs in an elementary, though very pure mathematical style."
