This book presents a wide range of well-known and less common methods used for estimating the accuracy of probabilistic approximations, including the Esseen typ

Since its introduction in 1972, Stein’s method has offered a completely novel way of evaluating the quality of normal approximations. Through its characterizi

The book deals with a powerful and convenient approach to a great variety of types of problems of the recursive monte-carlo or stochastic approximation type. Su

A rigorous mathematical treatment of the technique for studying the properties of an experimental situation.

Most functions that occur in mathematics cannot be used directly in computer calculations. Instead they are approximated by manageable functions such as polynom
