A Course in the Large Sample Theory of Statistical Inference

This book is based on detailed notes prepared by Professor Hall for his signature class on large sample theory in parametric models, which he taught at the University of Rochester for many years, most recently in 2012. It provides a rigorous but accessible introduction to the topic, using the moving alternative formulation developed by LeCam, but requiring a minimum of mathematical prerequisites. The book includes ideas and insights from Professor Hall’s distinguished research career. It also includes many practical examples.
