Description
In this lecture I will given an overview of various aspects of
statistical modeling. I'll start be reviewing parametric models.
Then I will discuss methods for dealing with model
misspecification. Next I will discuss nonparametric methods and
then move on to universal inference which is a new method for
handling irregular models. I'll finish with a few quick remarks on
semiparametric inference.
