Handbook of Exponential and Related Distributions for Engineers and Scientists
Chapman & Hall/CRC 2005; US$ 139.95The exponential distribution is one of the most important probability distributions in the theory and application of statistics. Despite its importance, however, most texts devote too little attention to it and specialized handbooks include too many mathematical details. In a straightforward and engaging manner, this handbook thoroughly examines the... more...
Advances on Models, Characterizations and Applications
CRC Press 2005; US$ 119.95A clear understanding of the properties of statistical distributions is critical for the development of optimal inferential methods and the validation of the resulting model assumptions. Containing 14 contributions from specialists, this volume explores recent developments in the field of characterizations and other important properties of several more...
Stochastic Orders
Springer-Verlag New York Inc 2007; US$ 109.99Stochastic ordering is a fundamental guide for decision making under uncertainty. This text covers the various notions of stochastic orderings, their closure properties, and their applications. It is intended for those who are interested in decision making under uncertainty and in the analysis of complex stochastic systems. more...
Probability Distributions Involving Gaussian Random Variables
Springer 2006; US$ 69.95Brings together a comprehensive collection of mathematical material in one location. This book also offers a variety of results interpreted in a form that is particularly useful to engineers, scientists, and applied mathematicians. more...
Characteristic Functions, Scattering Functions and Transfer Functions
Springer 2010; US$ 179.00The notions of transfer function and characteristic functions proved to be fundamental in the last fifty years in operator theory and in system theory. Moshe Livsic played a central role in developing these notions, and the book contains a selection of carefully chosen refereed papers dedicated to his memory. Topics include classical operator theory,... more...
Handbook of Fitting Statistical Distributions with R
CRC Press 2010; US$ 149.95Strengthened by examples taken from the scientific literature, this handbook provides statisticians and researchers across the physical and social sciences with cutting-edge methods for fitting continuous probability distributions. It presents families with wide-ranging applicability, including Johnson's system, kappa distribution, and generalized... more...
Skew-Elliptical Distributions and Their Applications: A Journey Beyond Normality
Taylor and Francis 2004; US$ 119.95This book reviews the state-of-the-art advances in skew-elliptical distributions and provides many new developments in a single volume, collecting theoretical results and applications previously scattered throughout the literature. The main goal of this research area is to develop flexible parametric classes of distributions beyond the classical normal... more...
Infinite Divisibility of Probability Distributions on the Real Line
Marcel Dekker Inc 2003; US$ 279.95Reassessing classical theory and presenting new developments, this text is a definitive, example-filled text focused on divisibility with respect to convolution and addition of independent random variables. more...
Testing for Normality
Marcel Dekker Inc 2002; US$ 209.95This work describes the selection, design, theory, and application of tests for normality. It covers robust estimation, test power, and univariate and multivariate normality. It contains tests for multivariate normality and coordinate-dependent and invariant approaches. more...
