5.0 out of 5 stars
theory useful for bootstrap confidence intervals, February 9, 2008
This review is from: Asymptotic Theory for Bootstrap Methods in Statistics (Paperback)
This monograph is a treatise based on a series of lectures that Professor Beran gave at the Centre de Recherches Mathematiques (CRM) in Montreal Canada in 1989 (the monograph was published in 1991). It is an advanced theoretical text designed for graduate students and statistical researchers. It provides an introduction to the theory and contrasts it with other classical methods for second order corrections. Covers confidence regions and hypothesis tests and particularly the research contributions of Beran and his colleagues. More detailed treatment at the same level can be found in Hall (1992) The Bootstrap and Edgeworth Expansion and Shao and Tu (1995) The Jackknife and Bootstrap. Well written but very mathematical and difficult to get. It was published by the CRM and may now be out of print. I got my copy by ordering directly to the CRM. It may be possible to get it through companies like Amazon.com who have contacts at the major used book stores.
