Empirical Processes Working Group, Spring Quarter 2002

Announcement

I intend to organize a seminar series (or working group) on empirical process theory and its application to statistics during spring quarter 2002. The tentative plan is to review modern empirical process theory, and then move to applications of this theory to a variety of statistical problems. One possibility would be to work through some of the examples and supporting material in Aad van der Vaart's recent St. Flour lecture notes on "Semiparametric Statistics".

If you are interested in this working group/seminar series, please send me e-mail and let me know:

• How often you would like the group to meet?
  (i) once a week for an hour;
  (ii) twice a week for an hour;
  (iii) other ?
  
• Would you be willing to talk/lead one or more discussions/lectures?
