Small sample asymptotics
Tomasy, Tomáš ; Sabolová, Radka (advisor) ; Omelka, Marek (referee)
In this thesis we study the small sample asymptotics. We introduce the saddlepoint approximation which is important to approximate the density of estimator there. To derive this method we need some basic knowledge from probability and statistics, for example the central limit theorem and the M- estimators. They are presented in the first chapter. In practical part of this work we apply the theoretical background on the given M-estimators and selected distribution. We also apply the central limit theorem on our estimators and compare it with small sample asymptotics. At the end we show and summarize the calculated results.

Statistical inference based on saddlepoint approximations
Sabolová, Radka ; Jurečková, Jana (advisor) ; Hlávka, Zdeněk (referee) ; Picek, Jan (referee)
Title: Statistical inference based on saddlepoint approximations Author: Radka Sabolová Abstract: The saddlepoint techniques for M-estimators have proved to be very accurate and robust even for small sample sizes. Based on these results, saddle- point approximations of density of regression quantile and saddlepoint tests on the value of regression quantile were derived, both in parametric and nonpara- metric setup. Among these, a test on the value of regression quantile based on the asymptotic distribution of averaged regression quantiles was also proposed and all these tests were compared in a numerical study to the classical tests. Finally, special case of Kullback-Leibler divergence in exponential family was studied and saddlepoint approximations of the density of maximum likelihood estimator and sufficient statistic were also derived using this divergence. 1
