In this book, the author finds that many of the important concepts of mathematical statistics can be associated with physical models, and that the optimality criteria of statistical estimation procedures can often be interpreted in terms of the concept of potential energy.

This book describes the development of statistics, which for more than a century was called "the calculus of observations." The approach will help readers gain a clearer understanding of the historical development as well as the essential nature of some of the commonly used statistical estimation procedures. Detailed descriptions of the fitting of linear relationships by the method of least squares and the closely related least absolute deviat...
