Mrinalini Rajagopalan Livres

Focusing on five medieval monuments in Delhi, the book explores their modern histories from the nineteenth to the twentieth century. Mrinalini Rajagopalan examines how colonial and postcolonial states shaped these narratives, often obscuring the emotional connections various communities have with these sites. By juxtaposing archival records with affective histories, the author redefines monuments as dynamic cultural entities that embody multiple interpretations rather than fixed representations of the past.

Intended as a text for the postgraduate students of statistics, this well-written book gives a complete coverage of Estimation theory and Hypothesis testing, in an easy-to-understand style. It is the outcome of the authors’ teaching experience over the years. The text discusses absolutely continuous distributions and random sample which are the basic concepts on which Statistical Inference is built up, with examples that give a clear idea as to what a random sample is and how to draw one such sample from a distribution in real-life situations. It also discusses maximum-likelihood method of estimation, Neyman’s shortest confidence interval, classical and Bayesian approach. The difference between statistical inference and statistical decision theory is explained with plenty of illustrations that help students obtain the necessary results from the theory of probability and distributions, used in inference.
