Probability for Statisticians: Edition 2
Rreth këtij libri elektronik
Of particular interest is a presentation of the major central limit theorems via Stein's method either prior to or alternative to a characteristic function presentation. Additionally, there is considerable emphasis placed on the quantile function as well as the distribution function. The bootstrap and trimming are both presented. Martingale coverage includes coverage of censored data martingales. The text includes measure theoretic preliminaries, from which the authors own course typically includes selected coverage.
This is a heavily reworked and considerably shortened version of the first edition of this textbook. "Extra" and background material has been either removed or moved to the appendices and important rearrangement of chapters has taken place to facilitate this book's intended use as a textbook.
