Statistics seminar
Liverpool University Statistics Division
Time: 2pm, Wednesday May 12th
Venue: Room 6.04, Maths & Oceanography Building, University of Liverpool
Speaker: Lajos Horvath, University of Utah
Title: Large Approximations and bootstrap
Abstract: I'll give a short history of strong approximations and their
applications to statistics. I'll outline how to prove the optimality
of some of the results. I'll demonstrate that the convergence rate for
the bootstrapped empirical process is the same as for the usual
empirical process. However, in case of normalized processes the
bootstrap will be better than the large sample results.
