Contents Notes
Every advance in computer architecture and software tempts statisticians to tackle numerically harder problems. To do so intelligently requires a good working knowledge of numerical analysis. This book is intended to equip students to craft their own software and to understand the advantages and disadvantages of different numerical methods and can serve as a graduate text for either a one- or a two-semester course surveying computational statistics. With a careful selection of topics and appropriate supplementation, it can even be used at the undergraduate level. Because many of the chapters are nearly self-contained, professional statisticians will also find the book useful as a reference. 1. Recurrence Relations -- 2. Power Series Expansions -- 3.
