No detailed description available for "Recent Advances in Statistics and Probability".
Contains 40 of the papers presented at the Third International Meeting of Statistics in the Basque Country, held in Bilbao, Spain in August 1986. Papers present recent, important developments in statistical theory, including new methodologies, and improved or novel theoretical tools which have removed past restrictions and vastly broadened potential applications--some have already had significant impact on modeling, design, and analysis of statistical experiments. Chapters cover a wide range of topics, including data analysis, sampling theory, growth curves analysis, both theoretical and applied aspects of time series analysis, nonparametric theory, the Edgeworth expansions in statistics and probability, the bootstrap and randomization methods, density estimation, hypotheses testing, pseudorandom numbers, and sequential estimation.
Significant developments have taken place during the last thirty years in the field of nonparametric statistics and related topics. These developments and future directions are discussed in this book. Some of the developments focussed on include: robust statistics; rank estimation; bootstrap techniques; regression quantiles; strong approximation of quantile processes; and a preliminary test approach to estimation (combining robust statistics and shrinkage estimation).This volume is dedicated to the memory of Professor Wassily Hoeffding, a pioneer in the field of nonparametric statistics.
