Random Fields Estimationby Alexander G Ramm
World Scientific 2005; US$ 113.00This book contains a novel theory of random fields estimation of Wiener type, developed originally by the author and presented here. No assumption about the Gaussian or Markovian nature of the fields are made. The theory, constructed entirely within the framework of covariance theory, is based on a detailed analytical study of a new class of multidimensional integral equations basic in estimation theory. This book is suitable for graduate courses in random fields estimation. It can also be used in courses in functional analysis, numerical analysis, integral equations, and scattering theory. more...
Applied Parameter Estimation for Chemical Engineersby Peter Englezos; Nicolas Kalogerakis
Marcel Dekker Inc 2000; US$ 199.95A presentation of important optimization methods used for parameter estimation. It focuses on the Gauss-Newton method for systems and processes represented by algebraic or differential equation models. more...
Fractal-Based Point Processesby Steven Bradley Lowen; Malvin Carl Teich
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2005; US$ 150.00An integrated approach to fractals and point processes This publication provides a complete and integrated presentation of the fields of fractals and point processes, from definitions and measures to analysis and estimation. The authors skillfully demonstrate how fractal-based point processes, established as the intersection of these two fields, are tremendously useful for representing and describing a wide variety of diverse phenomena in the physical and biological sciences. Topics range from information-packet arrivals on a computer network to action-potential occurrences in a neural preparation. The authors begin with concrete and key examples of fractals and point processes, followed by an introduction to fractals and chaos. Point processes... more...
The Generic Chainingby Michel Talagrand
Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG 2005; US$ 139.00The fundamental question of characterizing continuity and boundedness of Gaussian processes goes back to Kolmogorov. After essential contributions by R. Dudley and X. Fernique, it was solved by the author in 1985. This advance was followed by a great improvement of our understanding of the boundedness of other fundamental classes of processes (empirical processes, infinitely divisible processes, etc.) This challenging body of work has now been considerably simplified through the notion of "generic chaining", a completely natural variation on the ideas of Kolmogorov. The entirely new presentation adopted here takes the reader from the first principles to the edge of current knowledge, and to the wonderful open problems that remain in this domain. more...
Random Fields and Spin Glassesby Cirano De Dominicis; Irene Giardina
Cambridge University Press 2006; US$ 35.00This book deals with the theory of magnetic systems in the presence of frozen disorder, using a field theory language covering mean field theory, dynamics and perturbation expansion within the same theoretical framework. This will interest graduate students and researchers in statistical physics and basic field theory. more...
Large Deviations for Gaussian Queuesby Michel Mandjes
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2007; US$ 140.00In recent years the significance of Gaussian processes to communication networks has grown considerably. The inherent flexibility of the Gaussian traffic model enables the analysis, in a single mathematical framework, of systems with both long-range and short-range dependent input streams. Large Deviations for Gaussian Queues demonstrates how the Gaussian traffic model arises naturally, and how the analysis of the corresponding queuing model can be performed. The text provides a general introduction to Gaussian queues, and surveys recent research into the modelling of communications networks. Coverage includes: Discussion of the theoretical concepts and practical aspects related to Gaussian traffic models. Analysis of recent research asymptotic... more...
Case Studies in Spatial Point Process Modelingby Adrian Baddeley; Pablo Gregori; Jorge Mateu
Springer-Verlag New York Inc 2006; US$ 98.00Spatial point processes are complex stochastic models that describe the locations of "interesting" events, and (possibly) some information about each event. This book is focused on case studies. more...
Symmetric Functionals on Random Matrices and Random Matchings Problemsby Grzegorz Rempala; Jacek Wesolowski
Springer 2008; US$ 89.95Drawn from the literature on the asymptotic behavior of random permanents and random matchings, this book presents a connection between the problem of an asymptotic behavior for a certain family of functionals on random matrices and the asymptotic results in the classical theory of the U-statistics. more...
An Introduction to the Theory of Point Processes 2by D.J. Daley; David Vere-Jones
Springer 2005; US$ 99.00Sets out the basic theory of random measures and point processes. This volume covers the topics of: limit theorems, ergodic theory, Palm theory, and evolutionary behaviour via martingales and conditional intensity. It also includes discussions of marked point processes, convergence to equilibrium, and the structure of spatial point processes. more...
Random Fields and Geometryby R.J. Adler; Jonathan Taylor
Springer 2007; US$ 79.95A monograph that is devoted to a fresh approach to geometric problems arising in the study of random fields, namely, the geometry of excursion sets of random fields and the related Euler characteristic approach to extremal probabilities. more...
