All of Nonparametric Statistics: Springer Texts in Statistics

Autor Larry Wasserman
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 oct 2005

Aplicabilitatea practică a statisticii nonparametrice în domenii precum învățarea automată (machine learning) și mineritul datelor (data mining) transformă acest volum într-un instrument de lucru esențial pentru cercetătorii care au nevoie de o trecere în revistă rapidă a metodelor moderne. În All of Nonparametric Statistics, Larry Wasserman reușește să sintetizeze teme complexe care sunt adesea dispersate în monografii separate, oferind o viziune unitară asupra inferenței fără ipoteze distributive rigide. Apreciem în mod deosebit structura riguroasă a cărții, care ghidează cititorul de la estimarea funcției de distribuție cumulativă (CDF) și metode de reeșantionare (Bootstrap, Jackknife), până la concepte avansate de regresie nonparametrică și metode adaptive prin wavelets.

Această lucrare extinde cadrul propus de All of Statistics cu date noi și o focalizare specifică pe metodele de netezire și inferență prin funcții ortogonale. Dacă în volumul său anterior Larry Wasserman oferea o panoramă asupra întregului domeniu al statisticii, aici autorul rafinează abordarea, concentrându-se pe tehnicile care nu depind de parametrizări stricte. Observăm că, deși titlul sugerează o acoperire exhaustivă, autorul a făcut alegeri editoriale pragmatice, excluzând demonstrațiile matematice laborioase în favoarea unor comentarii bibliografice care trimit la surse detaliate. Suntem de părere că această abordare face volumul mult mai accesibil decât Mathematical Statistics de Peter .J. Bickel, menținând totodată un nivel de rigoare adecvat pentru nivelul de doctorat. Progresia logică a capitolelor, reflectată în cuprins, facilitează o tranziție lină de la conceptele de bază la teoria minimax și metodele adaptive, oferind o bază solidă pentru implementarea algoritmilor statistici contemporani.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte cercetătorilor și studenților de la master sau doctorat care doresc să stăpânească fundamentele statisticii nonparametrice fără a se pierde în demonstrații matematice excesive. All of Nonparametric Statistics oferă un avantaj competitiv celor din machine learning și data science prin claritatea cu care prezintă metodele de netezire și bootstrapping, fiind un ghid rapid de implementare a conceptelor moderne în proiecte de cercetare.


Descriere scurtă

There are many books on various aspects of nonparametric inference such as density estimation, nonparametric regression, bootstrapping, and wavelets methods. But it is hard to ?nd all these topics covered in one place. The goal of this text is to provide readers with a single book where they can ?nd a brief account of many of the modern topics in nonparametric inference. The book is aimed at master’s-level or Ph. D. -level statistics and computer science students. It is also suitable for researchersin statistics, machine lea- ing and data mining who want to get up to speed quickly on modern n- parametric methods. My goal is to quickly acquaint the reader with the basic concepts in many areas rather than tackling any one topic in great detail. In the interest of covering a wide range of topics, while keeping the book short, I have opted to omit most proofs. Bibliographic remarks point the reader to references that contain further details. Of course, I have had to choose topics to include andto omit,the title notwithstanding. For the mostpart,I decided to omit topics that are too big to cover in one chapter. For example, I do not cover classi?cation or nonparametric Bayesian inference. The book developed from my lecture notes for a half-semester (20 hours) course populated mainly by master’s-level students. For Ph. D.

Recenzii

From the reviews:
"...The book is excellent." (Short Book Reviews of the ISI, June 2006)
"Now we have All of Nonparametric Statistics … the writing is excellent and the author is to be congratulated on the clarity achieved. … the book is excellent." (N.R. Draper, Short Book Reviews, 26:1, 2006)
"Overall, I enjoyed reading this book very much. I like Wasserman's intuitive explanations and careful insights into why one path or approach is taken over another. Most of all, I am impressed with the wealth of information on the subject of asymptotic nonparametric inferences." (Stergios B. Fotopoulos for Technometrics, 49:1, February 2007)
"The intention of this book is to give a single source with brief accounts of modern topics in nonparametric inference. … The text is a mixture of theory and applications, and there are lots of examples … . The text is also illustrated with many informative figures. … this book covers many topics of modern nonparametric methods, with focus on estimation and on the construction of confidence sets. It should be a useful reference for anyone interested in the theories and methods of this area." (Andreas Karlsson, Statistical Papers, 48, 2006)
"...ANPS provides an excellent complement or a complete course textbook with a mixture of theoretical and computational exercises. ...For a book in a rapidly evolving field, the content and references are quit eup to date. ...As advertised, it offers a well-written, albeit brief account of numerous topics in modern nonparametric inference." (Greg Ridgeway, Journal of the American Statistical Association, Vol. 102, No. 477, 2007)
"This is a nicely written textbook oriented mainly to master level statistics and computer science students. The author provides wide a coverage of modern nonparametric methods … . the key ideas and basic proofs are carefully explained. Bibliographic remarks point the reader to references that containfurther details. Each chapter is finished with useful exercises … . The book is also suitable for researchers in statistics, machine learning, and data mining." (Oleksandr Kukush, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1099 (1), 2007)
