Description for Series Approximation Methods in Statistics
Paperback. Presents theoretical results relevant to Edgeworth and saddlepoint expansions to densities and distribution functions. This book provides examples of their application in simple and complicated settings, along with numerical, as well as asymptotic, assessments of their accuracy. Series: Lecture Notes in Statistics. Num Pages: 232 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBT. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 229 x 152 x 12. Weight in Grams: 337.
This book was originally compiled for a course I taught at the University of Rochester in the fall of 1991, and is intended to give advanced graduate students in statistics an introduction to Edgeworth and saddlepoint approximations, and related techniques. Many other authors have also written monographs on this s- ject, and so this work is narrowly focused on two areas not recently discussed in theoretical text books. These areas are, ?rst, a rigorous consideration of Edgeworth and saddlepoint expansion limit theorems, and second, a survey of the more recent developments in the ?eld.
