Weak Convergence and Empirical Processes - With Applications to Statistics (2nd ed. 2023): A.W.Van Der Vaart, Jon A. Wellner Weak Convergence and Empirical Processes - With Applications to Statistics (2nd ed. 2023)

This book provides an account of weak convergence theory, empirical processes, and their application to a wide variety of problems in statistics. The first part of the book presents a thorough treatment of stochastic convergence in its various forms. Part 2 brings together the theory of empirical processes in a form accessible to statisticians and probabilists. In Part 3, the authors cover a range of applications in statistics including rates of convergence of estimators; limit theorems for M− and Z−estimators; the bootstrap; the functional delta-method and semiparametric estimation. Most of the chapters conclude with “problems and complements.” Some of these are exercises to help the reader’s understanding of the material, whereas others are intended to supplement the text.  This second edition includes many of the new developments in the field since publication of the first edition in 1996: Glivenko-Cantelli preservation theorems; new bounds on expectations of suprema of empirical processes; new bounds on covering numbers for various function classes; generic chaining; definitive versions of concentration bounds; and new applications in statistics including penalized M-estimation, the lasso, classification, and support vector machines. The approximately 200 additional pages also round out classical subjects, including chapters on weak convergence in Skorokhod space, on stable convergence, and on processes based on pseudo-observations.

Asymptotic Statistics (Paperback, New Ed): A.W.Van Der Vaart Asymptotic Statistics (Paperback, New Ed)
A.W.Van Der Vaart
R1,968 Discovery Miles 19 680 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Here is a practical and mathematically rigorous introduction to the field of asymptotic statistics. In addition to most of the standard topics of an asymptotics course--likelihood inference, M-estimation, the theory of asymptotic efficiency, U-statistics, and rank procedures--the book also presents recent research topics such as semiparametric models, the bootstrap, and empirical processes and their applications. The topics are organized from the central idea of approximation by limit experiments, one of the book's unifying themes that mainly entails the local approximation of the classical i.i.d. set up with smooth parameters by location experiments involving a single, normally distributed observation.
