Almost all research in the social and behavioral sciences, and also in economic and marketing research, criminological research, and social medical research deals with the analysis of categorical data. Categorical data are quantified as either nominal or ordinal variables. This volume is a collection of up-to-date studies on modern categorical data...
A concise, quick-reference guide to save money and headaches when closing on a home
Fraught with arcane rituals, hidden traps and pitfalls, and confusing legal mumbo jumbo, the closing can be the most harrowing part of the home buying...
Practical Signals Theory with MATLAB Applications is organized around applications, first introducing the actual behavior of specific signals and then using them to motivate the presentation of mathematical concepts. Tervo sequences the presentation of the major transforms by their complexity: first Fourier,...
A book is like a window that allows you to look into the world. The window is
shaped by the author and that makes that every window presents a unique view of
the world. This is certainly true for this book. It is shaped by the topics and the
projects throughout my career. Even more so, this book reflects my own style of
working and...
The long-awaited revision of the bestseller on heat conduction
Heat Conduction, Third Edition is an update of the classic text on heat conduction, replacing some of the coverage of numerical methods with content on micro- and nanoscale heat transfer. With an emphasis on the mathematics and underlying physics, this new...
This volume is based on papers presented at the International Workshop on Differential Equations and Optimal Control, held at the Department of Mathematics of Ohio University in Athens, Ohio. The main objective of this international meeting was to feature new trends in the theory and applications of partial differential and functional-differential...
For more than 250 years partial differential equations have been clearly the most important tool available to mankind in order to understand a large variety of phenomena, natural at first and then those originating from human activity and technological development. Mechanics, physics and their...
The aim of this textbook is to introduce the theory of nonlinear dispersive equations to graduate students in a constructive way. The first three chapters are dedicated to preliminary material, such as Fourier transform, interpolation theory and Sobolev spaces. The authors then proceed to use the linear Schrodinger equation to describe...
This book has grown from the authors' investigations into the problem of finding consistent and efficient solutions to
estimating equations which admit multiple solutions. While there have been studies of multiple roots in likelihood
estimation, most notably by Barnett (1966), we felt that there was a need to incorporate more...
Financial Accounting: an Introduction is aimed at first-level undergraduates on business studies degrees taking introductory financial accounting classes; first-level specialist accounting undergraduate students; introductory core accounting for MBA and postgraduate specialist Masters students (e.g. finance, actuarial studies),...
With mathematical and computational models furthering our understanding of lung mechanics, function and disease, this book provides an all-inclusive introduction to the topic from a quantitative standpoint. Focusing on inverse modeling, the reader is guided through the theory in a logical progression, from the simplest models up to state-of-the-art...
The Programming Guide provides you with complete descriptions of SigmaPlot’s powerful math, data manipulation, regression, and curve fitting features. It also describes how to use SigmaPlot’s Interactive Development Environment (IDE) and Macro Recorder to automate and customize SigmaPlot tasks.
