Wald A. Statistical Decision Functions

Wiley, 1950. — 192 p. — ISBN: N\AThis book presents the foundations of a recently developed general theory of statistical decision functions. It is mainly an outgrowth of several previous publications of the author on this subject and contains a considerable expansion and generalization of the ideas and results given in the earlier papers. A major advance beyond previous results is the treatment of the design of experimentation as a part of the general decision problem.
