This document appears to be the table of contents for a textbook on statistical inference and econometrics. It lists 13 chapters that cover topics such as basic statistical theory, experimental derivation of sampling distributions, probability and probability distributions, tests of hypotheses, estimation, simple regression, violations of assumptions, multiple regression, formulation and estimation of special models, simultaneous equation systems, and generalized linear regression models and applications. It also includes appendices on algebra, matrix algebra, asymptotic distributions, and statistical tables.
