Here is the first book to summarize a broad cross-section of the large volume of literature available on one-dimensional empirical processes. Presented is a thorough treatment of the theory of empirical processes, with emphasis on real random variable processes as well as a wide-ranging selection of applications in statistics. Featuring many tables and illustrations accompanying the proofs of major results, coverage includes foundations - special spaces and special processes, convergence and distribution of empirical processes, alternatives and processes of residuals, integral tests of fit and estimated empirical processes and martingale methods.
