= Alan Stuart
{c}
<Alan Stuart> was a statistician and professor at the London School of Economics, closely associated with the systematic presentation of statistical theory in <Maurice Kendall>'s textbook tradition. The publisher credits him as an author of the sixth edition of Kendall's Advanced Theory of Statistics, <volume> 1, <probability distribution>[Distribution] Theory, published in 1994. Its scope runs from moments and <characteristic function>[characteristic functions] to sampling <probability distribution>[distributions], <order statistic>[order statistics] and multivariate normal <probability distribution>[distributions]. This connects the <probability distribution> of raw observations to the sampling <probability distribution>[distribution] of the statistics used for inference.https://www.wiley-vch.de/en/areas-interest/mathematics-statistics/statistics-16st/probability-mathematical-statistics-16st1/kendall-39-s-advanced-theory-of-statistics-volume-1-distribution-theory-978-0-470-66530-5[Publisher catalogue, sixth-edition authorship, contents and Alan Stuart author information]{ref}
