There is no textbook, although Cox and Hinkley: Theoretical Statistics (London: Chapman & Hall, 1974) is recommended. Jon Wellner's lecture notes from last year's 581-3 are available, and are referred to frequently in the syllabus. Although I will not lecture from them, they contain much useful material. The syllabus contains references for each section (now available, January 28). (References for Wellner's lecture notes are available separately.) A variety of books will be on four hour reserve in the Mathematics-Statistics Research Library. Part of the purpose of this is to encourage browsing, and teach you how to find material in the literature. Furthermore, no single book covers the material we will be talking about. There will again be lecture notes summaries (covering what I consider the most important results) available on the web (last updated March 8).
Final exams from 1989 and 1990 are now available for your enjoyment.
