Feb 3, 2017 at 14:58 comment added whuber @Cardinal ... unless you want to dip into Edward Nelson's Radically Elementary Probability Theory. By using nonstandard analysis, he only needs to deal with finite probability spaces. (All his disclaimers aside, though, that book requires even more mathematical sophistication than a rigorous measure theory text would, IMHO.)

Sep 23, 2014 at 15:29 comment added Matt Brenneman I am looking for a textbook on mathematical statistics that provides rigorous proofs of results from advanced calculus/real analysis that are not measure theoretic in natures. There a number of elementary results involving variable transformations, mgfs (Laplace transformations) etc that do not involve measure theory.

Sep 23, 2014 at 15:09 comment added cardinal Neither Hogg & Craig nor Casella & Berger are texts on probability theory. Are you asking for texts on mathematical statistics from a rigorous (measure-theoretic) viewpoint? If you don't want any skimping on the proofs, ultimately you'll have to face up to some measure-theoretic ideas.
