Editorial Review

Product Description

Asymptotic methods provide important tools for approximating and analysing functions that arise in probability and statistics. Moreover, the conclusions of asymptotic analysis often supplement the conclusions obtained by numerical methods. Providing a broad toolkit of analytical methods, Expansions and Asymptotics for Statistics shows how asymptotics, when coupled with numerical methods, becomes a powerful way to acquire a deeper understanding of the techniques used in probability and statistics.

The book first discusses the role of expansions and asymptotics in statistics, the basic properties of power series and asymptotic series, and the study of rational approximations to functions. With a focus on asymptotic normality and asymptotic efficiency of standard estimators, it covers various applications, such as the use of the delta method for bias reduction, variance stabilisation, and the construction of normalising transformations, as well as the standard theory derived from the work of R.A. Fisher, H. Cramér, L. Le Cam, and others. The book then examines the close connection between saddle-point approximation and the Laplace method. The final chapter explores series convergence and the acceleration of that convergence.

Product Description
This text introduces the concept of Polya property for holomorphic functions of two and several variables. The functions which have the Polya property are used to study the uniqueness problem for entire functions. This gives interesting results for a general class of generating functions. The functions with Polya property are used as generating kernels in formal generating relations to study the expansion problem for entire functions. A necessary and sufficient condition is obtained for an entire function to have a unique expansion in a series of various known polynomials generated from the formal generating relations. In this book it is shown that the uniqueness problem for entire functions of exponential type is equivalent to the approximation problem for analytic functions. Since functions with Polya property have very useful applications, the study of a class of linear operators which preserve the Polya property is embarked upon and two sufficient conditions for an operator to be Polya-property-preserving are given. ...

Editorial Review

Product Description
In Fourier Analysis and Approximation of Functions basics of classical Fourier Analysis are given as well as those of approximation by polynomials, splines and entire functions of exponential type.
In Chapter 1 which has an introductory nature, theorems on convergence, in that or another sense, of integral operators are given. In Chapter 2 basic properties of simple and multiple Fourier series are discussed, while in Chapter 3 those of Fourier integrals are studied.
The first three chapters as well as partially Chapter 4 and classical Wiener, Bochner, Bernstein, Khintchin, and Beurling theorems in Chapter 6 might be interesting and available to all familiar with fundamentals of integration theory and elements of Complex Analysis and Operator Theory. Applied mathematicians interested in harmonic analysis and/or numerical methods based on ideas of Approximation Theory are among them.
In Chapters 6-11 very recent results are sometimes given in certain directions. Many of these results have never appeared as a book or certain consistent part of a book and can be found only in periodics; looking for them in numerous journals might be quite onerous, thus this book may work as a reference source.
The methods used in the book are those of classical analysis, Fourier Analysis in finite-dimensional Euclidean space Diophantine Analysis, and random choice. ... Read more

Product Description
There has been much recent progress in approximation algorithmsfor nonconvex continuous and discrete problems, from both atheoretical and a practical perspective. In discrete (orcombinatorial) optimization many approaches have been developedrecently that link the discrete universe to the continuous universethrough geometric, analytic, and algebraic techniques. Such techniquesinclude global optimization formulations, semidefinite programming,and spectral theory. As a result new approximate algorithms have beendiscovered and many new computational approaches have been developed.Similarly, for many continuous nonconvex optimization problems, newapproximate algorithms have been developed based on semidefiniteprogramming and new randomization techniques. On the other hand,computational complexity, originating from the interactions betweencomputer science and numerical optimization, is one of the majortheories that have revolutionized the approach to solving optimizationproblems and to analyzing their intrinsic difficulty. The main focusof complexity is the study of whether existing algorithms areefficient for the solution of problems, and which problems are likelyto be tractable. The quest for developing efficient algorithms leadsalso to elegant general approaches for solving optimization problems,and reveals surprising connections among problems and their solutions.The two themes of approximation and complexity pervade this book.

Product Description
This monograph proposes a new classification of periodicfunctions, based on the concept of generalized derivative, defined byintroducing multiplicators and shifts of the argument into the Fourierseries of the original function. This approach permits theclassification of a wide range of functions, including those of whichthe Fourier series may diverge in integral metric, smooth functions,and infinitely differentiable functions, including analytical andentire ones. These newly introduced classes are then investigatedusing the traditional problems of the theory of approximation. Theresults thus obtained offer a new way to look at classical statementsfor the approximation of differentiable functions, and suggestpossibilities to discover new effects. Audience: valuable reading for experts in the field ofmathematical analysis and researchers and graduate students interestedin the applications of the theory of approximation and Fourier series. ...

16. Normal Approximation and Asymptotic Expansions (Probability & Mathematical Statistics)

 Hardcover: 288 Pages (1976-05)

Isbn: 047107201X
Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan
Editorial Review

Product Description
Although Normal Approximation and Asymptotic Expansions was first published in 1976, it has gained new significance and renewed interest among statisticians due to the developments of modern statistical techniques such as the bootstrap, the efficacy of which can be ascertained by asymptotic expansions.

This also is the only book containing a detailed treatment of various refinements of the multivariate central limit theorem (CLT), including Berry Essen-type error bounds for probabilities of general classes of functions and sets, and asymptotic expansions for both lattice and non-lattice distributions. With meticulous care, the authors develop necessary background on weak convergence theory, Fourier analysis, geometry of convex sets, and the relationship between lattice random vectors and discrete subgroups of Rk. The formalism developed in the book has been used in the extension of the theory by Goetze and Hipp to sums of weakly dependent random vectors.

This edition of the book includes a new chapter that provides an application of Stein's method of approximation to the multivariate CLT.

Audience: The book is appropriate for graduate students of probability and statistics as well as researchers in these and other fields whose work involves the asymptotic theory of statistics.

Contents: Preface to the Classics Edition; Preface; Chapter 1: Weak Convergence of Probability Measures and Uniformity Classes; Chapter 2: Fourier Transforms and Expansions of Characteristic Functions; Chapter 3: Bounds for Errors of Normal Approximation; Chapter 4: Asymptotic Expansions Nonlattice Distributions; Chapter 5: Asymptotic Expansions Lattice Distributions; Chapter 6: Two Recent Improvements; Chapter 7: An Application of Stein s Method; Appendix A.1: Random Vectors and Independence; Appendix A.2: Functions of Bounded Variation and Distribution Functions; Appendix A.3: Absolutely Continuous, Singular, and Discrete Probability Measures; Appendix A.4: The Euler-MacLaurin Sum Formula for Functions of Several Variables; References; Index. ...

Editorial Review

Product Description
Asymptotic methods are frequently used in many branches of both pure and applied mathematics, and this classic text remains the most up-to-date book dealing with one important aspect of this area, namely, asymptotic approximations of integrals. In Asymptotic Approximations of Integrals, all results are proved rigorously, and many of the approximation formulas are accompanied by error bounds. A thorough discussion on multidimensional integrals is given, and references are provided. Asymptotic Approximations of Integrals contains the "distributional method," which is not available elsewhere. Most of the examples in this text come from concrete applications.

Since its publication twelve years ago, significant developments have occurred in the general theory of asymptotic expansions, including smoothing of the Stokes phenomenon, uniform exponentially improved asymptotic expansions, and hyperasymptotics. These new concepts belong to the area now known as "exponential asymptotics." Expositions of these new theories are available in papers published in various journals, but not yet in book form. ...
