Abstract

Peter Bickel has contributed substantially to the study of rank-based nonparametric statistics. Of his many contributions to research in this area I shall discuss his work on second order asymptotics that yielded surprising results and set off more than a decade of research that deepened our understanding of asymptotic statistics. I shall restrict my discussion to two papers, which are Albers et al. (1976) “Asymptotic expansions for the power of distribution free tests in the one-sample problem” and Bickel (1974) “Edgeworth expansions in nonparametric statistics” where the entire area is reviewed.
