Theory of Point Estimation

The second edition enhances the original work with significant updates, expanding from 500 to 600 pages. It offers a more comprehensive treatment of Bayesian inference, introducing new sections on Equivariant, Hierarchical, and Empirical Bayes. Recent developments in information inequality, simultaneous, and shrinkage estimation are also covered. Each chapter includes expanded notes with bibliographic material and introductions to contemporary topics in point estimation. While robust estimation discussions have been removed, the overall presentation has been refined for clarity.
