Description
Book SynopsisThis monograph is the first unified treatment of an indispensable technique for comparing statistical tests, especially in nonparametric statistics. It presents powerful new methods to evaluate explicitly different kinds of efficiencies. Many Russian results are published here for the first time in English.
Trade Review'It is an excellent book. I believe that every mathematical statistician should have this book in his or her collection … I enjoyed reading this book. I am sure that others will also like it.' Ramalingam Shanmugam, SIAM Reviews
