This volume contains several contributions on the general theme of dependence for several classes of stochastic processes, andits implicationson asymptoticproperties of various statistics and on statistical inference issues in statistics and econometrics. The chapter by Berkes, Horvath and Schauer is a survey on their recent results on bootstrap and permutation statistics when the negligibility condition of classical central limit theory is not satis ed. These results are of interest for describing the asymptotic properties of bootstrap and permutation statistics in case of in nite va- ances, and for applications to statistical inference, e.g., the change-point problem. The paper by Stoev reviews some recent results by the author on ergodicity of max-stable processes. Max-stable processes play a central role in the modeling of extreme value phenomena and appear as limits of component-wise maxima. At the presenttime, arathercompleteandinterestingpictureofthedependencestructureof max-stable processes has emerged, involvingspectral functions, extremalstochastic integrals, mixed moving maxima, and other analytic and probabilistic tools. For statistical applications, the problem of ergodicity or non-ergodicity is of primary importance.

By reading this book, you will learn: The difference between an object and its name, and why the distinction is important The important vector data structures, how they fit together, and how you can pull them apart using subsetting The fine details of functions and environments The condition system, which powers messages, warnings, and errors The powerful functional programming paradigm, which can replace many for loops The three most important OO systems: S3, S4, and R6 The tidy eval toolkit for metaprogramming, which allows you to manipulate code and control evaluation Effective debugging techniques that you can deploy, regardless of how your code is run How to find and remove performance bottlenecks The second edition is a comprehensive update: New foundational chapters: "Names and values," "Control flow," and "Conditions" comprehensive coverage of object oriented programming with chapters on S3, S4, R6, and how to choose between them Much deeper coverage of metaprogramming, including the new tidy evaluation framework use of new package like rlang (http://rlang.r-lib.org), which provides a clean interface to low-level operations, and purr (http://purrr.tidyverse.org/) for functional programming Use of color in code chunks and figures Hadley Wickham is Chief Scientist at RStudio, an Adjunct Professor at Stanford University and the University of Auckland, and a member of the R Foundation. He is the lead developer of the tidyverse, a collection of R packages, including ggplot2 and dplyr, designed to support data science. He is also the author of R for Data Science (with Garrett Grolemund), R Packages, and ggplot2: Elegant Graphics for Data Analysis.
