Asymptotic Statistics
| Credits | 8 credit points |
| Instructors | Jongbloed, G. (Technische Universiteit Delft) |
| G.Jongbloed@tudelft.nl | |
| Aim | learn to study statistical procedures from an asymptotic point of view |
| Description | The course starts with a review of various concepts of stochastic convergence (e.g. convergence in probability or in distribution), and properties of the multivariate normal distribution. Then the asymptotic properties of various statistical procedures are studied, including; - Chi-square tests. - Moment estimators - M-estimators (including MLE). - Kernel density estimators. The examples are chosen according to importance in practical applications, and the theory is motivated by practical relevance, but the subjects are presented in theorem-proof form. |
| Examination | written exam on December 18, 15.15-18.00, room M129, W&N Building at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. |
| Literature | lecture notes "Mathematical Statistics" by A.W. van der Vaart |
| Prerequisites | basic course in probability and statistics |
