This research monograph will be of interest to mathematical statisticians.
From the reviews:
JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN STATISTICAL ASSOCIATION
"...clearly written and accessible with relatively few mathematical prerequisites. I found surprisingly few typographical errors; the authors are to be congratulated for this...Each chapter contains numerous exercises. These exercises appear to be at an appropriate level for a graduate course in statistics, and appear to provide appropriate reinforcement for the material in the preceding chapters."
B.J.T. Morgan in "Short Book Reviews", Vol. 20/3, December 2000
"The book is well written, and presents clearly an important and developing subject."
