Abstract

Nonparametric tests, randomization tests, jackknife and bootstrap, as well as asymptotic properties of estimators.

Objective

For classical parametric models there exist optimal statistical estimators and test statistics whose distributions can often be determined exactly. The methods covered in this course allow for finding statistical procedures for more general models and to derive exact or approximate distributions of complicated estimators and test statistics.

Content

Nonparametric tests, randomization tests, jackknife and bootstrap, as well as asymptotic properties of estimators.
