	ASYMPTOTIC METHODS IN PROBABILITY AND STATISTICS A Volume in Honour of Miklós Csörgő Buy online with a credit card in the Elsevier Science & Technology Bookstore: http://books.elsevier.com/elsevier/?isbn=0444500839 Edited by B. Szyszkowicz, Carleton University, Dept. of Mathematics and Statistics, Ottawa, Canada Description One of the aims of the conference on which this book is based, was to provide a platform for the exchange of recent findings and new ideas inspired by the so-called Hungarian construction and other approximate methodologies. This volume of 55 papers is dedicated to Miklós Csörgő a co-founder of the Hungarian construction school by the invited speakers and contributors to ICAMPS'97. This excellent treatize reflects the many developments in this field, while pointing to new directions to be explored. An unequalled contribution to research in probability and statistics.
