A Course in Large Sample Theory is presented in four parts. The first treats basic probabilistic notions, the second features the basic statistical tools for expanding the theory, the third contains special topics as applications of the general theory, and the fourth covers more standard statistical topics. Nearly all topics are covered in their multivariate setting.

The book is intended as a first year graduate course in large sample theory for statisticians. It has been used by graduate students in statistics, biostatistics, mathematics, and related fields. Throughout the book there are many examples and exercises with solutions. It is an ideal text for self study.

It is always sunny

A good book, but so dense...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 30, 2008

Verified Purchase

I think it is a good book; it has solutions to the problems and it is very useful for a Large Sample Theory class; but it is so dense; it has a small font and it explains so much stuff in a few pages,without any examples...

Actually quite decent. This is a slim book with concise and clear chapters (so not at all an intimidating tome). Each chapter is followed by a decent number of exercises. Covers standard asymptotic concepts.

Too terse for me

Great book, but compact

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 1, 2002

Tom Ferguson's book is the standard at the UCLA Department of Statistics and for good reason. The book follows a logical format, essentially proving a different limit theorem/approximation in each chapter. The book is good for an advanced graduate 1 quarter/semester course in asymptotic theory, although some of the topics may have to be omitted. I wouldn't recommend reading this book by yourself since I find it to be very compact/concise. However, if you've taken a similar course already it makes an invaluable reference.

Clear & Concise

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 12, 2007

I'm currently half-way through Professor Tom Ferguson's course using this book (learning from the man himself!). We have so far covered the first 14 chapters/sections in 6 weeks. I have to compliment this book on its clarity and flow. The material itself is difficult, but the presentation of material in A Course in Large Sample Theory is as likely as good as it can get in book-form. Having the material presented by a professor is of course ideal but this book is certainly feasible for self-study yet rigorous enough for a first-year graduate course in statistics. There are plenty of (useful) examples in each chapter in addition to explanations. Further, the exercises in the book also have full solutions in the back -- pages 172-235 are the solutions (additional exercises on Professor Ferguson's website). If any book were to make this material feasible for self-study, it would be this one.

For those who want to take this material on for self-study: Pick this book but... this level of this book (ie, the material) is comparable to real analysis but with more direct applications. That is, an individual will succeed in using this book for self-study if (and perhaps only if) she has a good base in analysis and proofs and feels comfortable adapting that knowledge to statistics. An individual with little or no background in analysis proofs will have a very difficult time using this book for self-study. That said, if you want to learn the material, this book would be a prime starting location. If you don't have a good background in analysis, consider spending some time preparing by running over the theory of limits before engaging this book.

For those who are taking a course and are using this book, be happy your professor picked it -- it's clear and concise. This is a book worth buying. Due to the level of the material, rereading chapters is sometimes necessary but is easily manageable since chapters are concise and include examples.

clear, concise, and comprehensive

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 4, 2008

Ferguson has written an excellent book on asymptotic statistics. The theorems and their proofs are as clear as they can be. Measure theory and functional analysis are mostly avoided. Much like Rudin's books (though this one is easier to read), there is little fat and the results appear in a concise and easily remembered and referenced way. It is the most readable book on this topic that I found and is quite enjoyable to read.

Regarding its coverage, the book is more elementary than other books such as Asymptotic Statistics by Var der Vaart and is also slightly outdated. A consequence is that some important modern results are missing, for example asymptotics of M estimators, non-parametrics/semi-parametric, local normality. On the other hand, in order to cover these additional topics the book would have to be much longer and contain more advanced math.

If you are learning this topic for the first time, I can't think of a better book to read. If, on the other hand, you have already learned asymptotic statistics in some form and wish to learn more advanced and modern material you should probably use a different book.

It is a great book

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 24, 2011

This is a great book, it is well explained and organized. I only have nice words for this book because when I had to study such topics, I always got some help or insight from the book.
