This Festschrift in honour of Paul Deheuvels’ 65th birthday compiles recent research results in the area between mathematical statistics and probability theory with a special emphasis on limit theorems. The book brings together contributions from invited international experts to provide an up-to-date survey of the field.
Written in textbook style, this collection of original material addresses researchers, Ph D and advanced Master students with a solid grasp of mathematical statistics and probability theory.
