U-Statistics, Mm-Estimators and Resampling

This is an introductory text on a broad class of statistical estimators that are minimizers of convex functions. It also provides an elementary introduction to resampling, particularly in the context of these estimators. The last chapter is on practical implementation of the methods presented in other chapters, using the free software R.
