Inhaltsangabe

An important book for statisticians due to both its treatment of various refinements of the multivariate central limit theorem and its exposition of asymptotic expansions. It is appropriate for graduate students of statistics and probability, as well as researchers whose work involves the asymptotic theory of statistics.

Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor

Although Normal Approximation and Asymptotic Expansions was first published in 1976, it has gained new significance and renewed interest among statisticians due to the developments of modern statistical techniques such as the bootstrap, the efficacy of which can be ascertained by asymptotic expansions. This is also the only book containing a detailed treatment of various refinements of the multivariate central limit theorem (CLT), including Berry–Essen-type error bounds for probabilities of general classes of functions and sets, and asymptotic expansions for both lattice and non-lattice distributions. With meticulous care, the authors develop the necessary background on: weak convergence theory, Fourier analysis, geometry of convex sets and the relationship between lattice random vectors and discrete subgroups of Rk.
