I've been asked to develop a course in non-parametric statistics for
upper division math majors and computer engineering grad students.
Students will have had some calculus and a standard calculus based stat
course covering topics like t-tests for normal samples and least-squares
regression. My immediate problem is to find a text. A 40 year old
out-of-print book (Sturdy Statistics by Mosteller and Rourke) comes
closest to what I am looking for, which is a somewhat informal text that
emphasizes motivation and examples instead of proofs. But M&R makes no
mention of bootstrap methods and doesn't use R or any other statistical
package. Suggestions for a suitable text would be appreciated. thanks.
