| Thèmes abordés |
The course covers the asymptotic theory in parametric inference, M- and Z- estimators, U-statistics, empirical processes and the functional delta method. In a second part of the course, these tools are applied in modern special topics of mathematical statistics such as, e.g., extreme value theory, ill-posed inverse problems,
