  • Testing for Normalityby Henry Thode

    Marcel Dekker Inc 2002; US$ 179.95

    This 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...

  • Elementary Probabilityby David Stirzaker

    Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 54.00

    Now available in a fully revised and updated new edition, this well established undergraduate textbook provides a straightforward introduction to the theory of probability. The presentation is entertaining without any sacrifice of rigour, and important notions are covered with the clarity that the subject demands. more...

  • A Primer on Statistical Distributionsby N. Balakrishnan; V. B. Nevzorov

    John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2004; US$ 145.00

    Designed 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 text in order to enhance understanding of materials just taught. more...

  • Continuous Multivariate Distributionsby Samuel Kotz; N. Balakrishnan; Norman L. Johnson

    John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2004; US$ 195.00

    Continuous Multivariate Distributions, Volume 1, Second Edition provides a remarkably comprehensive, self-contained resource for this critical statistical area. It covers all significant advances that have occurred in the field over the past quarter century in the theory, methodology, inferential procedures, computational and simulational aspects, and applications of continuous multivariate distributions. In-depth coverage includes MV systems of distributions, MV normal, MV exponential, MV extreme value, MV beta, MV gamma, MV logistic, MV Liouville, and MV Pareto distributions, as well as MV natural exponential families, which have grown immensely since the 1970s. Each distribution is presented in its own chapter along with descriptions of... more...

  • Finite Mixture Modelsby Geoffrey McLachlan; David Peel

    John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2004; US$ 166.00

    An up-to-date, comprehensive account of major issues in finite mixture modeling This volume provides an up-to-date account of the theory and applications of modeling via finite mixture distributions. With an emphasis on the applications of mixture models in both mainstream analysis and other areas such as unsupervised pattern recognition, speech recognition, and medical imaging, the book describes the formulations of the finite mixture approach, details its methodology, discusses aspects of its implementation, and illustrates its application in many common statistical contexts. Major issues discussed in this book include identifiability problems, actual fitting of finite mixtures through use of the EM algorithm, properties of the maximum likelihood... more...

  • A Mathematician at the Ballparkby Ken Ross

    Penguin Group Inc. 2004; US$ 12.99

    Filled with current and historical players, this is the first book that focuses on probability in baseball. Covers not only the formulas for computing batting average, on base percentage and the like, but also delves into odds and predicting recurring events.< more...

  • Probability Theoryby E. T. Jaynes; G. Larry Bretthorst

    Cambridge University Press 2003; US$ 79.00

    A comprehensive introduction to the role of probability theory in general scientific endeavour. This book provides an original interpretation of probability theory, showing the subject to be an extension of logic, and presenting new results and applications. Ideal for scientists working in any area involving inference from incomplete information. more...

  • Interpreting Probabilityby David Howie; Brian Skyrms; Ernest W. Adams; Ken Binmore; Jeremy Butterfield; Persi Diaconis; William L. Harper

    Cambridge University Press 2002; US$ 46.00

    This book investigates how Bayesianism as one theory of probability was discredited during the 1920s and 1930s by two British scientists and shows how the choice of a certain interpretation of probability depends on the experiences of the individuals involved. more...

  • Information Theory And The Central Limit Theoremby Oliver Johnson

    World Scientific 2004; US$ 80.60

    This book provides a comprehensive description of a new method of proving the central limit theorem, through the use of apparently unrelated results from information theory. It gives a basic introduction to the concepts of entropy and Fisher information, and collects together standard results concerning their behaviour. It brings together results from a number of research papers as well as unpublished material, showing how the techniques can give a unified view of limit theorems. more...
