Course Title and Content
An Introduction to Le Cam's Asymptotic Theory of Statistical Experiments
This course is a brief introduction to the powerful asymptotic theory of statistical experiments associated with the name of Lucien Le Cam. The following topics will be covered.
 - Some basic concepts; Lebesgue decomposition; log-likelihood processes
 - Local Asymptotic Normality; Contiguity; Le Cam's First and Third Lemmas
 - Convergence of Statistical Experiment
 - Locally Asymptotically Optimal Testing; locally asymptotically most powerful, maximin and most stringent tests; asymptotic relative efficiencies
 - Locally Asymptotically Optimal Estimation; asymptotic minimax Theorem; Hajek-Le Cam Convolution Theorem
 - An introduction to the theory of semiparametric inference; tangent space projections; semiparametric efficiency.
 
The course will be as nontechnical as possible. Although no specific text will be provided, the following monographs may be of interest.
A. van der Vaart (1998). Asymptotic Statistics. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge.
