Asymptotic statistical inference : a basic course using R / Shailaja Deshmukh, Madhuri Kulkarni.

The book presents the fundamental concepts from asymptotic statistical inference theory, elaborating on some basic large sample optimality properties of estimators and some test procedures. The most desirable property of consistency of an estimator and its large sample distribution, with suitable no...
