Local Asymptotic Normality

2000
The classical theory of asymptotics in statistics relies heavily on certain local quadratic approximations to the logarithms of likelihood ratios. Such approximations will be studied here but in a restricted framework.

A Note on Asymptotic Normal Structure and Close-to-Normal Structure

Canadian Mathematical Bulletin, 1982
AbstractA closed convex subset X of a Banach space E is said to have (i) asymptotic normal structure if for each bounded closed convex subset C of X containing more than one point and for each sequence in C satisfying ‖xn − xn + 1‖ → 0 as n → ∞, there is a point x ∈ C such that ; (ii) close-to-normal structure if for each bounded closed convex subset ...

Asymptotic normality of the posterior in relative entropy

IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 1999
Summary: We show that the relative entropy between a posterior density formed from a smooth likelihood and prior and a limiting normal form tends to zero in the independent and identically distributed case. The mode of convergence is in probability and in mean. Applications to codelength in stochastic complexity and to sample size selection are briefly

Asymptotic Normality—Global

1986
This chapter elaborates properties of a certain widely applicable method of construction of estimates. The general idea is that one provides oneself with a well behaved auxiliary estimate of the parameter and that, in the vicinity of the estimated value, one refines the estimate using techniques adapted to the local structure of the experiment.

Bootstrap and asymptotic normality

1992
In this chapter consistency of bootstrap is compared with asymptotic normality. This is done for linear statistics of n i. i. d. observations. It is shown that bootstrap works asymptotically under the same assumptions as a normal approximation with estimated variance (Theorem 1).

On the asymptotic normality of the posterior distribution.

2001
Summary: Let a random sample of size \(n\) be drawn from a variable with probability density depending on a vector of parameters, \(\pmb\theta= (\theta_1,\theta_2,\dots,\theta_r)^\top\), and let us suppose that the prior distribution of \(\pmb\theta\) has continuous, positive density \(p(\pmb\theta)\) on an open set \(H\).
