Content

  • Basic facts from probability theory
  • Convergence in R^d (the multivariate normal distribution, Convergence in distribution,CLT in R^d)
  • Empirical distribution functions
  • A CLT for m-dependent stationary sequences
  • Estimation theory (Asymptotic properties of maximum likelihood estimators,Asymptotic (relative) efficiency of estimators, Likelihood ratio test)
  • U-statistics
  • Probability measures on metric spaces (weak convergence in metric spaces, relative compactness and tightness, weak convergence and tightness in C)
  • Donsker's theorem
  • Empirical processes: applications in statistics.

Prerequisites

A sound working knowledge in measure-theory based on probability theory
(especially strong law of large numbers, convergence in distribution in R^1, Central limit
theorem of Lindeberg-Lévy), and statistical concepts (tests, confidence regions).


Material

Course Material and important information can be found in the ILIAS course of the lecture.



Examination

There will be oral examinations towards the end of the semester. All further details can be found in the ILIAS course of the lecture.
