商品描述

This book provides an account of weak convergence theory, empirical processes, and their application to a wide variety of problems in statistics. The first part of the book presents a thorough treatment of stochastic convergence in its various forms. Part 2 brings together the theory of empirical processes in a form accessible to statisticians and probabilists. In Part 3, the authors cover a range of applications in statistics including rates of convergence of estimators; limit theorems for M- and Z-estimators; the bootstrap; the functional delta-method and semiparametric estimation. Most of the chapters conclude with "problems and complements." Some of these are exercises to help the reader's understanding of the material, whereas others are intended to supplement the text.
This second edition includes many of the new developments in the field since publication of the first edition in 1996: Glivenko-Cantelli preservation theorems; new bounds on expectations ofsuprema of empirical processes; new bounds on covering numbers for various function classes; generic chaining; definitive versions of concentration bounds; and new applications in statistics including penalized M-estimation, the lasso, classification, and support vector machines. The approximately 200 additional pages also round out classical subjects, including chapters on weak convergence in Skorokhod space, on stable convergence, and on processes based on pseudo-observations.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書提供了弱收斂理論、經驗過程及其在統計學中各種問題的應用的詳細說明。書的第一部分對隨機收斂的各種形式進行了徹底的探討。第二部分將經驗過程的理論以統計學家和機率學家易於理解的形式整合在一起。在第三部分,作者涵蓋了統計學中的一系列應用,包括估計量的收斂速率;M-估計量和Z-估計量的極限定理;自助法(bootstrap);函數性δ方法和半參數估計。大多數章節以「問題與補充」作結。其中一些是幫助讀者理解材料的練習,而其他則旨在補充文本。

本書的第二版包含自1996年第一版出版以來該領域的許多新發展:Glivenko-Cantelli保存定理;經驗過程的上確界期望的新界限;各種函數類的覆蓋數的新界限;通用鏈接;集中界限的確定版本;以及在統計學中的新應用,包括懲罰性M-估計、套索(lasso)、分類和支持向量機(support vector machines)。大約200頁的附加內容也補充了經典主題,包括在Skorokhod空間中的弱收斂、穩定收斂以及基於偽觀察的過程的章節。
