This second, much enlarged edition by Lehmann and Casella of Lehmann's
classic text on point estimation maintains the outlook and general style
of the first edition. All of the topics are updated. An entirely new
chapter on Bayesian and hierarchical Bayesian approaches is provided,
and there is much new material on simultaneous estimation. Each chapter
concludes with a Notes section which contains suggestions for further
study. The book is a companion volume to the second edition of Lehmann's
Testing Statistical Hypotheses.
