Description for Approximation Methods in Probability Theory
Paperback. Series: Universitext. Num Pages: 286 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBKJ. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 156 x 234 x 18. Weight in Grams: 494.
This book presents a wide range of well-known and less common methods used for estimating the accuracy of probabilistic approximations, including the Esseen type inversion formulas, the Stein method as well as the methods of convolutions and triangle function. Emphasising the correct usage of the methods presented, each step required for the proofs is examined in detail. As a result, this textbook provides valuable tools for proving approximation theorems. While Approximation Methods in Probability Theory will appeal to everyone interested in limit theorems of probability theory, the book is particularly aimed at graduate ... Read more
