Editorial Review:This book consists of solutions to four hundred exercises, over 95% of which are in the author’s Mathematical Statistics. That textbook covers topics in statistical theory essential for graduate students preparing for work on a Ph.D. degree in statistics.
On the other hand, this is a stand-alone book, since exercises and solutions are comprehensible independently of their source. Many solutions involve standard exercises that appear in other textbooks listed in the references. To help readers not using this book with Mathematical Statistics, lists of notation, terminology, and some probability distributions are given in the front of the book.
Readers are assumed to have a good knowledge in advanced calculus. A course in real analysis or measure theory is highly recommended. If this book is used with a statistics textbook that does not include probability theory, then knowledge in measure-theoretic probability theory is required. The exercises are grouped into seven chapters with titles matching those in Mathematical Statistics.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Has everything you need, if you can read and understand it.
I don't know if statistics are just that difficult a subject or statistics writers just aren't good. Either way I have not found a satisfactory statistics book that treats the subject rigorously, but still readable. This book is an excellent reference. However, it's notation is cumbersome, if you're not used to it.
Before I started taking the class that uses this book, I took four undergraduate probability and statistics classes, as well as studied advanced topics such as measure ... Read More
Rating: - Good reference
This book, coupled with its accompanying exercises volume is a good source for beginning graduate level statistics.
Rating:  - Excellent, very clear, accurate notations
I know it must be a sign of extreme geekyness to be reviewing statistics books... but it happens to be one of my passions (so that proves it takes all kinds of people to make the world go around). I find this book to be unusually clear. Printing is also of high quality and I did not spot sloppy notation errors (though I was not looking intensely). I would judge the level to be about first of second year graduate level. First chapter lays out probability theory very well and introduces the more standard ... Read More
Rating: - Great book, not for kids
Don't waste your time: this is a rigorous book on mathematical statistics, done right, for mathematically mature readers.
If you want a plug and chug manual, buy something else. If you want precision and rigor, buy this.
Rating: - Worth the time reading
Very readible, precise and concise treatment of statistics. Requires mathematical maturity. Although it doesn't require a background in measure theory, some familiarity (or willingness to learn) would be really helpful (Ch. 1 provides an overview of measure-theoretic probability). I read the first half of it in a PhD level statics class. I found its approach refreshing after taking an engineering oriented senior level/grad statistics class. I still frequently consult it.
