About these notes

These notes are for students on MAS5052 Basic Statistics, but are largely the same as parts of MAS223 Statistical Modelling and Inference.

The notes on likelihood have a long history, to the extent that I am not sure who first wrote them! But a number of colleagues have lectured this material over the years, and no doubt each made additions and improvements: Tony O’Hagan, Miguel Juarez, Jonathan Jordan, Nic Freeman and Alison Poulston.
