Using the Weibull Distribution
Wiley 2012; US$ 120.00Understand and utilize the latest developments in Weibull inferential methods While the Weibull distribution is widely used in science and engineering, most engineers do not have the necessary statistical training to implement the methodology effectively. Using the Weibull Distribution: Reliability, Modeling, and Inference fills a gap in... more...
Sorting
Wiley 2011; US$ 192.00A cutting-edge look at the emerging distributional theory of sorting Research on distributions associated with sorting algorithms has grown dramatically over the last few decades, spawning many exact and limiting distributions of complexity measures for many sorting algorithms. Yet much of this information has been scattered in disparate and highly... more...
A Weak Convergence Approach to the Theory of Large Deviations
Wiley 2011; US$ 202.00Applies the well-developed tools of the theory of weak convergence of probability measures to large deviation analysis--a consistent new approach The theory of large deviations, one of the most dynamic topics in probability today, studies rare events in stochastic systems. The nonlinear nature of the theory contributes both to its richness and difficulty.... more...
An Introduction to Heavy-Tailed and Subexponential Distributions
Springer 2011; US$ 79.99This monograph provides a complete and comprehensive introduction to the theory of long-tailed and subexponential distributions in one dimension. New results are presented in a simple, coherent and systematic way. All the standard properties of such convolutions are then obtained as easy consequences of these results. The book focuses on more theoretical... more...
Peacocks and Associated Martingales, with Explicit Constructions
Springer 2011; US$ 99.99We call peacock an integrable process which is increasing in the convex order; such a notion plays an important role in Mathematical Finance. A deep theorem due to Kellerer states that a process is a peacock if and only if it has the same one-dimensional marginals as a martingale. Such a martingale is then said to be associated to this peacock. In... more...
Modelling Operational Risk Using Bayesian Inference
Springer 2011; US$ 69.99The management of operational risk in the banking industry has undergone explosive changes over the last decade due to substantial changes in the operational environment. Globalization, deregulation, the use of complex financial products, and changes in information technology have resulted in exposure to new risks which are very different from market... more...
A History of the Central Limit Theorem
Springer 2010; US$ 119.99This study discusses the history of the central limit theorem and related probabilistic limit theorems from about 1810 through 1950. In this context the book also describes the historical development of analytical probability theory and its tools, such as characteristic functions or moments. The central limit theorem was originally deduced by Laplace... more...
Laws of Small Numbers
Springer 2010; US$ 69.99Since the publication of the first edition of this seminar book in 1994, the theory and applications of extremes and rare events have enjoyed an enormous and still increasing interest. The intention of the book is to give a mathematically oriented development of the theory of rare events underlying various applications. This characteristic of the book... 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...
