Diaconis Persi. Group Representations in Probability and Statistics

Hayward: Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 1988. - 204 p.This monograph is an expanded version of lecture notes I have used over the past eight years. I first taught this subject at Harvard's Department of Statistics 1981-82 when a version of these notes were issued. I've subsequently taught the subject at Stanford in 1983 and 1986. I've also delivered lecture series on this material at Ohio State and at St. Flour.
