This author's modern approach is intended primarily for honors undergraduates or undergraduates with a good math background taking a mathematical statistics or statistical inference course. The author takes a finite-dimensional functional modeling viewpoint (in contrast to the conventional parametric approach) to strengthen the connection...

Easy to read and comprehensive, Survival Analysis Using SAS: A Practical Guide, Second Edition, by Paul D. Allison, is an accessible, data-based introduction to methods of survival analysis. Researchers who want to analyze survival data with SAS will find just what they need with this fully updated new edition that incorporates the many...

Microsensors and MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) are revolutionising the semiconductor industry. A microsystem or the so-called "system-on-a-chip" combines microelectronic circuitry with microsensors and microactuators. This emergent field has seen the development of applications ranging from the electronic nose and...

Identification of a physical system deals with the problem of identifying its mathematical model using the measured input and output data. As the physical system is generally complex, nonlinear, and its input–output data is corrupted noise, there are fundamental theoretical and practical issues that need to be...

'What's going to happen next?' Time series data hold the answers, and Bayesian methods represent the cutting edge in learning what they have to say. This ambitious book is the first unified treatment of the emerging knowledge-base in Bayesian time series techniques. Exploiting the unifying framework of probabilistic graphical...

Nothing can crunch numbers like your TI-83 Plus, and this handy guide makes the crunching easy! In no time you’ll be punching those buttons to convert decimals to fractions, find factorials, compare...
