But, then he went on to praise the asymptotic interpretation of errors on estimates as the most desirable because we want population estimates, not just the errors for our single experiment. Methods: Instead of resorting to simulation studies, we make use of asymptotic statistical theory to perform exact calculation of the efficiency of pooling relative to no pooling in the estimation of haplotype frequencies. Variance estimation is discussed and the results from two Keywords. Here is a practical and mathematically rigorous introduction to the field of asymptotic statistics. We discuss some asymptotic properties of propensity-score-adjusted estimators and derive optimal estimators based on a regression model for the finite population. Wolfowitz's research contains many asymptotic results. An optimal propensity-score-adjusted estimator can be implemented using an augmented propensity model.

Filed under Bayesian Statistics. Van der Vaart, Asymptotic Statistics, Cambridge University Press, 2000 2. Abstract: We develop analytic tools for the asymptotics of general trie statistics, which are particularly advantageous for clarifying the asymptotic variance. It has led to a number of surprising results in the application of thermodynamic concepts to small systems, with many contributions by workers in statistical mechanics. It covers classical likelihood, Bayesian, and permutation inference; an introduction to basic asymptotic distribution theory; and modern topics like M-estimation, the jackknife, and the bootstrap.
