Welcome to the world of statistics, where numbers tell stories and data reveals truths! In this blog, we’ll explore the transition from the first edition of Introduction to Statistics with Randomization and Simulation to its new identity as Introduction to Modern Statistics. This change not only reflects a fresh approach but also incorporates a broader range of topics that are vital in today’s statistical landscape.

Where is IMS 2?

The second edition, known as Introduction to Modern Statistics (IMS 2), can be found at this link. This platform encapsulates the modern methodologies and insights that are shaping the future of statistical analysis.

Where did IMS 1 go?

If you’re curious about the first edition, you can access it at this link. While the first edition laid a strong foundation, the revamped version offers enhanced content and updated practices in statistics.

The Evolution of the Content

The name “Introduction to Statistics with Randomization and Simulation” suggested a limited scope focused on specific techniques. As we worked on the second edition, it became clear that a name change would better reflect the content, leading to the current title: Introduction to Modern Statistics. This new name underlines the book’s emphasis on simulation-based inference and various non-inference topics that are crucial for a well-rounded understanding of statistics.
