Designed for an introductory course in probability and statistics for economics and business undergraduates, this comprehensive textbook introduces students to the R statistical programming language. While covering the standard topics found in traditional textbooks, Jason Abrevaya takes a modern approach that directly integrates R, highlights the use of simulation methods, and provides a general treatment of statistical inference for asymptotically normal estimators. Coverage emphasizes concepts that are useful to economists and data analysts, including general statistical-inference results that apply well beyond averages and variances. The book offers a higher level of mathematical rigor than traditional business statistics textbooks to prepare students for future coursework and for a professional climate where employers increasingly emphasize competence in data science and statistics.
