Hey, R-listers

I want to get some statistical books on Cumulants for 
studying.
So will you please give me some suggestions on
these related books?

Thanks for your point.

Any book on Edgeworth expansions will discuss cumulants.  Also, Kendall 
and Stuart, vol. 1, discuss cumulants.

hope this helps.  spencer graves

You are talking about classical statistical theory. I suggest as a 
starting point Kendall and Stuart, Advanced Theory of Statistics. I think 
this is in Volume 1. I am not familiar enough with it (and am not in my 
office to check), but I would be surprised if you didn't find enough to 
satisfy your needs in Lukacs, Characteristic Functions.
