Summary: Introduction to Mathematical Statistics by Hogg and Craig
Comment: I worked with an earlier version of this text. The text is
geared for math majors. There are many practical examples;
however, the more theoretical examples are elusive at best.
Coverage of the basic laws of probability is good. The examples
dealing with continuous random variables require some prior
knowledge of intermediate calculus which should be no problem
for math majors or engineers. The book benefited me when I
took and passed the Fundamentals of Engineering Examination.
In addition, I've taught statistics several times.
This work is geared for the above-average student. In some
areas, it could be supplemented with the Schaum's Statistics
Outline.

Summary: book I used at Maryland
Comment: Hogg and Craig is one of my favorite texts. It is an intermediate text in mathematical statistics similar to Mood, Graybill and Boes. I took qualifying exams in mathematics for my Masters Degree in math at the University of Maryland in the early 1970s. One of the exams I took was in statistics. I had little formal training in statistics at the time. Hogg and Craig was the recommended text for the statistics exam. So I bought it and studied out of it on my own. It was very clear with excellent coverage of methods for deriving distributions for random variables and transformations of random variables. I passed my exams and got my highest grades on the statistics exam even though I had more training in abstract algebra. Hogg and Craig really helped. It has been revised since then to maintain currency with statistical developments but it still has maintained its clarity and usefulness.

Summary: Excellent in its day - but that day has passed
Comment: At the time of its debut (1958) this book was viewed as a fairly advanced treatment of probability and math stat. While it has been updated over the years, it has not kept pace with the rapid changes in the field. (Craig died in 1978!). For those with a bit integral of calculus (it is a math stat book), it is good for review and has some excellent problems (but any answers in the back of the book are simply numeric answers with no explanations). For the right class, it still could be a really good intro to math stat. Be warned - this book gives you nothing in the way of measure and probability but if you can buy it used and cheap, it is well worth having.
