Hi nashi. A lot of you are probably students, so I thought it would be a good place to ask: What are good resources for learning the mathematical foundations of statistics? I'm looking for an intuition to ground what makes a way of using a particular statistical test appropriate in a given situation, but I'm not satisfied by methods that attempt to provide that intuition in the form of a bunch of “philosophical” maxims that don't really feel like they have any justification outside of engineered example cases. I'm also not interested in the foundations of probability/measure theory, which seem a little too elementary to be useful.
....many big words. Though if i do understand you correctly, you shouldn't overthink it too much because it can end up as a wild goose chase. Bcoz sometimes the shitty “philosophical” explanations are the only ones. its a cop-out too be honestOtherwise you're better off sticking with mainstream texts
etoo.. i can help you with programing :D i dropped out
