The major approach of this volume is using simulation as a computational aid in dealing with and creating models of reality. The main objective is to incorporate simulation as an integral part of the interaction between data and the models which may have approximately generated them. It incorporates substantial resampling procedures in order to test hypothesis and obtain a notion of the variability of the data. Features of the book include: communicates an applications-oriented approach with numerous case studies throughout to support conceptual thinking; laced with tabular results; and historical perspectives.
