The game of tennis raises many questions that are of interest to a
statistician. Is it true that beginning to serve in a set gives an
advantage? Are new balls an advantage? Is the seventh game in a set
particularly important? Are top players more stable than other
players? Do real champions win the big points? These and many other
questions are formulated as "hypotheses" and tested statistically.
Analyzing Wimbledon also discusses how the outcome of a match can
be predicted (even while the match is in progress), which points
are important and which are not, how to choose an optimal service
strategy, and whether "winning mood" actually exists in tennis.
Aimed at readers with some knowledge of mathematics and statistics,
the book uses tennis (Wimbledon in particular) as a vehicle to
illustrate the power and beauty of statistical reasoning.
Matrix Algebra is the first volume of the Econometric Exercises
Series. It contains exercises relating to course material in matrix
algebra that students are expected to know while enrolled in an
(advanced) undergraduate or a postgraduate course in econometrics
or statistics. The book contains a comprehensive collection of
exercises, all with full answers. But the book is not just a
collection of exercises; in fact, it is a textbook, though one that
is organized in a completely different manner than the usual
textbook. The volume can be used either as a self-contained course
in matrix algebra or as a supplementary text.
