Modern statistical methods use complex, sophisticated models that can lead to intractable computations. Saddlepoint approximations can be the answer. Written fr

This book explains the ideas behind the saddlepoint approximations as well as giving a detailed mathematical description of the subject and many worked out exam

Saddlepoint approximations are extended to general statistics. The technique is applied to derive approximations to the density of linear combinations of order

This unique book delivers an encyclopedic treatment of classic as well as contemporary large sample theory, dealing with both statistical problems and probabili
