Funded Activity Summary

Empirical saddlepoint approximations and self-normalized limit theorems. Finite population sampling and resampling methods such as the bootstrap and randomization methods are central in a number of areas of application and M-estimates are the major method used to give robust methods under mild conditions; in both these areas statistics are used which are Studentized or self-normalized. We will develop asymptotic approaches for such statistics. Saddlepoint and empirical saddlepoint methods will be used to give methods which have second order relative accuracy in large deviation regions and we will obtain limit results and Edgeworth approximations. Emphasis will be on obtaining results under weak conditions necessary for applications.
