Download or read book Symmetric Functionals on Random Matrices and Random Matchings Problems written by Grzegorz Rempala and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-12-06 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This superb explication of a complex subject presents the current state of the art of the mathematical theory of symmetric functionals on random matrices. It emphasizes its connection with the statistical non-parametric estimation theory. The book provides a detailed description of the approach of symmetric function decompositions to the asymptotic theory of symmetric functionals, including the classical theory of U-statistics. It also presents applications of the theory.
