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...
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...
Advances in Distribution Theory, Order Statistics, and Inference
Springer 2007; US$ 179.99Barry Arnold has made fundamental contributions to many different areas of statistics, including distribution theory, Bayesian inference, multivariate analysis, bounds and orderings, and characterization problems. Organized to honor Arnold's significant contributions to the field, this volume is an outgrowth of the 'International Conference... more...
A Primer on Statistical Distributions
Wiley 2004; US$ 157.00Designed as an introduction to statistical distribution theory. * Includes a first chapter on basic notations and definitions that are essential to working with distributions. * Remaining chapters are divided into three parts: Discrete Distributions, Continuous Distributions, and Multivariate Distributions. * Exercises are incorporated throughout the... more...
An Introduction To Stein's Method
World Scientific Publishing Company 2005; US$ 67.60A common theme in probability theory is the approximation of complicated probability distributions by simpler ones, the central limit theorem being a classical example. Stein's method is a tool which makes this possible in a wide variety of situations. Traditional approaches, for example using Fourier analysis, become awkward to carry through in situations... more...
Stein's Method And Applications
World Scientific Publishing Company 2005; US$ 75.40Stein's startling technique for deriving probability approximations first appeared about 30 years ago. Since then, much has been done to refine and develop the method, but it is still a highly active field of research, with many outstanding problems, both theoretical and in applications. This volume, the proceedings of a workshop held in honour of... more...
Convergence of Probability Measures
Wiley 2009; US$ 173.00A new look at weak-convergence methods in metric spaces-from a master of probability theory In this new edition, Patrick Billingsley updates his classic work Convergence of Probability Measures to reflect developments of the past thirty years. Widely known for his straightforward approach and reader-friendly style, Dr. Billingsley presents a clear,... more...
A Theory of Distributed Objects
Springer 2005; US$ 99.99This title is a detailed presentation of a calculus for distributed objects interacting using asynchronous method calls with generalized futures. The authors provide generic results on expressiveness and determinism. They also offer an extensive review of concurrent languages and calculi, with comprehensive figures and summaries. more...
Extreme Value Theory in Engineering
Elsevier Science 1988; US$ 200.00This book is a comprehensive guide to extreme value theory in engineering. Written for the end user with intermediate and advanced statistical knowledge, it covers classical methods as well as recent advances. A collection of 150 examples illustrates the theoretical results and takes the reader from simple applications through complex cases of dependence. more...
Probability and Statistical Models with Applications
CRC Press 2000; US$ 139.95Scientists actively involved in theoretical and applied aspects of statistical science were invited to write articles for what has turned into a 38-chapter summary of the some of the recent developments in the field. They highlight new noteworthy results and illustrate their practical significance, and point out possible new directions to pursue. T more...
