The treatment is both practical and mathematically rigorous. In addition to most of the standard topics of an asymptotics course, including likelihood inference, M-estimation, asymptotic efficiency, U-statistics, and rank procedures, the book also presents recent research topics such as semiparametric models, the bootstrap, and empirical processes and their applications." "Suitable as a text for a graduate or Master's level statistics course, this book also gives researchers in statistics, probability, and their applications an overview of the latest research in asymptotic statistics."--Jacket.
