This volume presents the latest advances and trends in nonparametric statistics and gathers
selected and peer-reviewed contributions from the 3rd Conference of the International Society
for Nonparametric Statistics (ISNPS) held in Avignon France on June 11-16 2016. It covers a
broad range of nonparametric statistical methods from density estimation survey sampling
resampling methods kernel methods and extreme values to statistical learning and
classification both in the standard i.i.d. case and for dependent data including big data.
The International Society for Nonparametric Statistics is uniquely global and its
international conferences are intended to foster the exchange of ideas and the latest advances
among researchers from around the world in cooperation with established statistical societies
such as the Institute of Mathematical Statistics the Bernoulli Society and the International
Statistical Institute. The 3rd ISNPS conference in Avignon attracted more than 400 researchers
from around the globe and contributed to the further development and dissemination of
nonparametric statistics knowledge.
