The year is 2305, and humans have long since found out that they are no longer the only sapient race in the universe. As humans join forces with other alien races to fight a common enemy known as the carians, two military mights emerge. Council Militia and sentinel fleet take up the fight, driving back the carians and slowing their attacks, but they are unable to completely stop them, thus having to always battle small factions throughout the galaxy. Six children, three humans and three aliens, having grown up with one another and later on as adults serving aboard two of sentinel fleet’s large battlecruisers, once again find themselves thrown together along with a derelict spaceship that they rebuild, and they will find as events start to unfold and secrets are revealed that it will be their strong connection to one another that will either carry them through to the end or destroy them and those they care about.

Exercises and Solutions in Statistical Theory helps students and scientists obtain an in-depth understanding of statistical theory by working on and reviewing solutions to interesting and challenging exercises of practical importance. Unlike similar books, this text incorporates many exercises that apply to real-world settings and provides much more thorough solutions. The exercises and selected detailed solutions cover from basic probability theory through to the theory of statistical inference. Many of the exercises deal with important, real-life scenarios in areas such as medicine, epidemiology, actuarial science, social science, engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, environmental health, and sports. Several exercises illustrate the utility of study design strategies, sampling from finite populations, maximum likelihood, asymptotic theory, latent class analysis, conditional inference, regression analysis, generalized linear models, Bayesian analysis, and other statistical topics. The book also contains references to published books and articles that offer more information about the statistical concepts. Designed as a supplement for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses, this text is a valuable source of classroom examples, homework problems, and examination questions. It is also useful for scientists interested in enhancing or refreshing their theoretical statistical skills. The book improves readers’ comprehension of the principles of statistical theory and helps them see how the principles can be used in practice. By mastering the theoretical statistical strategies necessary to solve the exercises, readers will be prepared to successfully study even higher-level statistical theory.
