Description for Convergence of Probability Measures
Hardcover. Asymptotic distribution theorems in probability and statistics have, from the beginning, depended on the classical theory of weak convergence of distribution functions in Euclidean space. The past several decades have seen the creation and extensive application of a more inclusive theory of weak convergence of probability measures on metric spaces. Series: Wiley Series in Probability and Statistics. Num Pages: 296 pages. BIC Classification: PBT. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 243 x 160 x 19. Weight in Grams: 566.
A new look at weak-convergence methods in metric spaces-from a master of probability theory In this new edition, Patrick Billingsley updates his classic work Convergence of Probability Measures to reflect developments of the past thirty years. Widely known for his straightforward approach and reader-friendly style, Dr. Billingsley presents a clear, precise, up-to-date account of probability limit theory in metric spaces. He incorporates many examples and applications that illustrate the power and utility of this theory in a range of disciplines-from analysis and number theory to statistics, engineering, economics, and population biology. With an emphasis on the simplicity of the mathematics ... Read more

Reviews for Convergence of Probability Measures
The book is a classic
it is almost an insult to review it. This second edition will, probably and rightly, be urged on today's research students by their predecessors, now their supervisors, who derived so much from the first edition. As the author says, 30 years ago the book would take the aspiring researcher to the forefront. Now, with the huge ... Read more
