Festschrift for Lucien Le Cam

Lucien Le Cam of the University of California, Berkeley, is one of the seminal figures in the development of statistical and probability theory in the twentienth century. This collection of original papers in honor of his 70th paper discuss and develop many of his ideas, and the contributors are among the best reserachers in these areas.
