This book covers the method of metric distances and its application in probability theory and other fields. The method is fundamental in the study of limit theorems and generally in assessing the quality of approximations to a given probabilistic model. The method of metric distances is developed to study stability problems and reduces to the selection of an ideal or the most appropriate metric for the problem under consideration and a comparison of probability metrics. After describing the basic structure of probability metrics and providing an analysis of the topologies in the space of probability measures generated by different types of probability metrics, the authors study stability problems by providing a characterization of the ideal metrics for a given problem and investigating the main relationships between different types of probability metrics. The presentation is provided in a general form, although specific cases are considered as they arise in the process of finding supplementary bounds or in applications to important special cases.

Pressezitat
From the book reviews:"This textbook gives a comprehensive overview of the method of metric distances and its applications in probability theory. ... The text is mainly self-contained and should be accessible for readers with basic knowledge in probability theory. The exposition is well structured and covers an impressive range of topics around the central theme of probability metrics." (Hilmar Mai, zbMATH, Vol. 1280, 2014)
"The reviewed book is divided into five parts. ... The target audience is graduate students in the areas of functional analysis, geometry, mathematical programming, probability, statistics, stochastic analytics, and measure theory. The book can also be used for students in probability and statistics. The theory of probability metrics presented here can be applied to engineering, physics, chemistry, information theory, economics, and finance. Specialists from the aforementioned areas might find the book useful." (Adriana Horníková, Technometrics, Vol. 55 (4), November, 2013)
