Frequently Asked Questions
What topics are covered in U-Statistics, MM-Estimators and Resampling?
This book covers three core areas of advanced statistical theory: U-statistics (unbiased estimators based on kernels), M-estimators and MM-estimators (robust estimation methods), and resampling techniques including bootstrap and permutation methods. It includes asymptotic theory, limit theorems, and applications in statistical inference.
Is this book suitable for graduate students in statistics?
Yes, this is designed specifically for graduate-level study in statistics, probability theory, and applied mathematics. It requires a strong foundation in probability theory and mathematical statistics. The book is ideal for doctoral students, researchers, and advanced master’s students specializing in statistical theory.
Where can I buy U-Statistics, MM-Estimators and Resampling in India?
You can buy this book online in India at The Bookish Owl for ₹475 with fast delivery. Published by Hindustan Book Agency, it’s available in stock and ships across India.
What are M-estimators and MM-estimators in statistics?
M-estimators are a broad class of estimators obtained by maximizing objective functions, providing robust alternatives to maximum likelihood estimation. MM-estimators are a refinement that combines high breakdown points with efficiency, making them particularly useful when data contains outliers or doesn’t follow standard assumptions.
Who should read this book on U-statistics and resampling methods?
This book is essential for researchers and students working in nonparametric statistics, robust estimation, asymptotic theory, or computational statistics. It’s particularly valuable for those preparing research papers, dissertations, or teaching advanced statistical methods at the postgraduate level.
