(EB)To My ParentsPrefaceSince the publication of my bookMathematical Statistics(Shao, 2003), Ihave been asked many times for a solution manual to the exercises in mybook. Without doubt, exercises form an important part of a textbookon mathematical statistics, not only in training students for their researchability in mathematical statistics but also in presenting many additionalresults plementary material to the main text. Written solutionsto these exercises are important for students who initially do not havethe skills in solving these pletely and are very helpful forinstructors of a mathematical statistics course (whether or not my bookMathematical Statisticsis used as the textbook) in providing answers tostudents as well as ?nding additional examples to the main text. Moti-vated by this and encouraged by some of my colleagues and Springer-Verlageditor John Kimm
