✦ Synopsis

In This New Edition, Patrick Billingsley Updates His Classic Work Convergence Of Probability Measures To Reflect Developments Of The Past Thirty Years. Dr. Billingsley Presents A Clear, Precise, Up-to-date Account Of Probability Limit Theory In Metric Spaces. He Incorporates Many Examples And Applications That Illustrate The Power And Utility Of This Theory In A Range Of Disciplines - From Analysis And Number Theory To Statistics, Engineering, Economics, And Population Biology.--book Jacket.
