Preface
I have used the opportunity of the second edition of the German version being translated into English to alter and improve some details. Of course I tried to correct misprints and errata of the original version. Moreover some proofs have been slightly changed and I hope thereby improved. In many instances more recent results have been inserted in the text, for example th~ treatment of the infinite dimensional linear programms in the third chapter and the investigation of superefficiency in the 5 th Chapter. On the whole I enlarged the references by pointing to more recent papers. In doing so I have considered the literature up to 1971. The 7th chapter is left unchanged although there has been particular progress in developing the theory of non-parametric statistical inference: Analysis and Probability theory as treated in the Introduction and in the first chapter would have been an insufficient background for this study. At least the concept of the contiguity of measures would have had to be introduced. Moreover the excellent book by 1. Hajek and 1. Sidak, "Theory of Rank Tests" has in the meantime been published. I am greatly indebted to Mr. Wickwire who translated almost the entire original text into English.-Mr. Wickwire has succeeded in rendering an almost literal translation of often linguistically difficult German structures. Let me then heartly thank my colleague Professor Pfanzagl, Un
