An up-to-date approach to understanding statistical inference
Statistical inference is finding useful applications in numerous fields, from sociology and econometrics to biostatistics. This volume enables professionals in these and related fields to master the concepts of statistical inference under inequality constraints and to apply the theory to problems in a variety of areas.
Constrained Statistical Inference: Order, Inequality, and Shape Constraints provides a unified and up-to-date treatment of the methodology. It clearly illustrates concepts with practical examples from a variety of fields, focusing on sociology, econometrics, and biostatistics.
The authors also discuss a broad range of other inequality-constrained inference ... Read more

Reviews for Constrained Statistical Inference
"This monograph provides an excellent coverage of the last twenty years of constrained statistical inference." (Journal of the American Statistical Association, March 2006) "…an invaluable resource for any researcher with interests in constrained problems…it is easy to conclude that any statistical library would be incomplete without it." (Biometrics, December 2005) "…a valuable source of information for statisticians ... Read more
