Very special thanks are due to Professor David Pollard who took time out of a busy schedule to give us a long list of suggestions. Thanks are due to Paul Smith, Te-Ching Chen and Ju-Yi-Yen, who helped with the last-minute editorial corrections.
From the reviews:
SHORT BOOK REVIEWS
"It is a very valuable book giving a coherent view of the basic concept and tools of the asymptotic theory in statistical inference."
JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN STATISTICAL ASSOCIATION
"...short and mathematically very sophisticated. Its approach is modern and undoubtedly profound."
