Solving Statistical Problems is a bookdown project compiling techniques, intuition, and useful theorems for solving introductory graduate-level problems in probability and statistical inference. It is not meant to present topics from the ground-up; rather, it is meant as a supplement to improve problem-solving speed and skill. The authors are currently preparing this in preparation for the Harvard Biostatistics PhD first-year qualifying examination.

Since this book is based on R Markdown and bookdown (https://github.com/rstudio/bookdown), please see the page "Get Started" at https://bookdown.org/yihui/bookdown/ for how to compile this example into HTML. You may generate a copy of the book in bookdown::pdf_book format by calling bookdown::render_book('index.Rmd', 'bookdown::pdf_book').
