Abstract

This course covers several generally useful statistical methods:Nonparametric tests, randomization tests, jackknife and bootstrap, as well as asymptotic approximations and robustness properties of estimators.

Objective

For the classical parametric models there are optimal statistical estimators and test statistics, and their distributions can often be determined exactly. The methods covered in this course allow for finding statisticsl procedures for more general models and to derive exact or approximate distributions of complicated estimators and test statistics. They thus make it possible to use specific models for any applications under consideration and to derive corresponding statistical procedures.

Content

Nonparametric tests, randomization tests, jackknife and bootstrap, asymptotic approximations and robustness properties of estimators.
