Our Review
This advanced mathematical text explores the foundational principles of probability theory and statistical inference through a rigorous, measure-theoretic approach. Originally published in 1972 and now revived through UC Press's program, the work represents a significant contribution to mathematical statistics that continues to influence contemporary research. Le Cam's treatment of asymptotic theory and decision theory provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the mathematical underpinnings of statistical methods.
The book's sophisticated mathematical treatment makes it most suitable for graduate students and researchers in statistics who already possess strong background knowledge in measure theory and probability. While the technical depth presents challenges for casual readers, the systematic development of statistical theory offers invaluable insights for specialists working in mathematical statistics and theoretical probability. This reissue ensures that Le Cam's influential work remains accessible to new generations of statisticians and mathematicians.
