Weak Convergence and Empirical Processes: With Applications to Statistics

by Aad W. van der Vaart and Jon A. Wellner

Book Overview

This book tries to do three things. The first goal is to give an exposition of certain modes of stochastic convergence, in particular convergence in distribution. The classical theory of this subject was developed mostly in the 1950s and is well summarized in Billingsley (1968).
