修课要求
This course will assume you attended my previous two courses, which covered the book All of Statistics by Wasserman. In particular, I'll assume you have a broad theoretical basis in statistics and probability, understanding concepts such as random variables, CDFs, pdfs, convergence in probability/distribution, parametric and nonparametric models, the bootstrap, and maximum likelihood estimation. In addition, make sure you are familiar with the practical and theoretical details of linear and logistic regression (e.g. Chapter 13 of Wasserman). More specifically, this course will build upon the nonparametric methods introduced in Chapter 20-21 of Wasserman, so please read or revise those.
课程大纲
1. Review of random variables, convergence, confidence sets
2. Statistical functionals, the empirical CDF, the nonparametric delta method
3. Concentration inequalities (Chernoff bound, sub-Gaussian random variables, Bernstein and McDiarmid inequalities)
4. Empirical probability and processes, uniform Glivenko-Cantelli bounds, Vapnik-Chervonenkis theory
5. Bootstrap confidence intervals of first and second order accuracy
6. Density estimation and bandwidth selection methods
7. Nonparametric regression, variance estimation and confidence bands
8. The normal means problem, adaptive estimation and random radius confidence balls
