From a to Z: Asymptotic Expansions by Van Zwet
نویسنده
چکیده
Refinements of first order asymptotic results axe reviewed, with a number of Ph.D. projects supervised by van Zwet serving as stepping stones. Berry-Esseen bounds and Edgeworth expansions are discussed for R-, Land [/-statistics. After these special classes, the question about a general second order theory for asymptotically normal statistics is addressed. As a final topic, empirical Edgeworth expansions are considered.

متن کاملSecond Order Moment Asymptotic Expansions for a Randomly Stopped and Standardized Sum
This paper establishes the first four moment expansions to the order o(a^−1) of S_{t_{a}}^{prime }/sqrt{t_{a}}, where S_{n}^{prime }=sum_{i=1}^{n}Y_{i} is a simple random walk with E(Yi) = 0, and ta is a stopping time given by t_{a}=inf left{ ngeq 1:n+S_{n}+zeta _{n}>aright} where S_{n}=sum_{i=1}^{n}X_{i} is another simple random walk with E(Xi) = 0, and {zeta _{n},ngeq 1} is a sequence of ran...
متن کاملAsymptotic Distributions of Estimators of Eigenvalues and Eigenfunctions in Functional Data
Functional data analysis is a relatively new and rapidly growing area of statistics. This is partly due to technological advancements which have made it possible to generate new types of data that are in the form of curves. Because the data are functions, they lie in function spaces, which are of infinite dimension. To analyse functional data, one way, which is widely used, is to employ princip...
متن کاملHeavy-traffic Asymptotic Expansions for the Asymptotic Decay Rates in the Bmap/g/1 Queue
In great generality, the basic steady-state distributions in the BMAP / G /1 queue have asymptotically exponential tails. Here we develop asymptotic expansions for the asymptotic decay rates of these tail probabilities in powers of one minus the traffic intensity. The first term coincides with the decay rate of the exponential distribution arising in the standard heavy-traffic limit. The coeffi...
متن کاملConnection Problems for Asymptotic Series by Wolfgang Wasow
The principle of analytic continuation makes it possible to calculate effectively the corresponding convergent power series about all points where a holomorphic continuation exists. However, the nature of the function near its singularities cannot be so readily deduced from the series (1.1). Often series expansions about such singular points do exist, and sometimes it is possible to calculate t...
