This well-known and highly respected introduction to decision theory was developed at Stanford University. It furnishes a simple and clear-cut method of exhibiting the fundamental aspects of statistical problems. Beginners will find this treatment a motivating introduction to important mathematical notions such as set, function, and convexity. "Very clearly written with many illustrative examples and exercises." — Journal of the American Statistical Association.
