Sequential nonparametrics

invariance principles and statistical inference

de Pranab Kumar Sen

A thorough text on sequential nonparametrics, utilizing a unified martingale approach in the study of the invariance principles for nonparametric statistics. Contains formulations of sequential tests and estimators such as repeated significance and rank order tests. Shows how sequential confidence regions and asymptotically risk efficient point estimation procedures can be treated in a complete nonparametric set-up. Includes extensive bibliography.
