Description and Table of Contents
Description
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.
