Directed at engineers, this is a detailed treatment of the use of statistical models to represent physical phenomena. The main intent of this work is to show the engineer responsible for a product whose performance is subject to chance fluctuations how to choose a reasonable statistical model and how to use this model in the evaluation of statistical problems.

Designed to present the chief results of the Lebesgue theory of integration, this textbook provides students with detailed coverage of the main ideas of the Lebesgue measure. The approach is particularly well suited for students of analysis, probability and statistics.

A time series is a sequence of observations, usually ordered in time. In some cases, the ordering may be according to another dimension. The feature of time series analysis is the explicit recognition of the importance of the order in which the observations are made. The material covered in this book comes from the author's many years of teaching experience and is based on applications and exercises. Some of the problems cover general theory, and the exercises are designed to familiarize the reader with complicated proofs.

Changes in algebraic geometry have made the subject increasingly inaccessible to all but specialists in the field. This comprehensive, self-contained monograph presents some of the main, general results of the theory accompanied by, and with emphasis on, their applications to the study of interesting examples and to the development of computational tools. The effective utilization of the techniques of elementary complex analysis and topology synthesize the classical and the modern into a cohesive presentation.

This is a classical reprint edition of the original 1971 edition of An Introduction to Bayesian Inference in Economics. This historical volume is an early introduction to Bayesian inference and methodology which still has lasting value for today's statistician and student. The coverage ranges from the fundamental concepts and operations of Bayesian inference to analysis of applications in specific econometric problems and the testing of hypotheses and models.

This 1971 classic on linear models is once again available--as a Wiley Classics Library Edition. It features material that can be understood by any statistician who understands matrix algebra and basic statistical methods.

The sampling inspection tables presented in this book were developed for use in the manufacture of communication apparatus and equipment for the Bell Telephone System. It assembles under one cover the three papers of original publication and adds a brief introduction. The papers have been reproduced with no modifications but the material has been rearranged in chapters. Chapter 1 outlines some of the factors to be considered in setting up inspection plans and develops a basis for minimizing the amount of inspection. Chapter 2 covers double sampling, the "average outgoing quality limit" (AOQL)...

This text covers enzyme kinetics from its most elementary aspects to such modern subjects as steady-state, multi-reactant kinetics and isotope exchange. It offers an understanding of the behaviour of enzyme systems and the diagnostic tools used to characterize them and determine kinetic mechanisms. Furthermore, it illustrates and explains current subjects such as cumulative, concerted and co-operative feedback inhibition and metal ion activation

This is part of a two-volume set offering a comprehensive presentation of both sampling theory and practice.

Includes proof of van der Waerden's 1926 conjecture on permanents, Wilson's theorem on asymptotic existence, and other developments in combinatorics since 1967. Also covers coding theory and its important connection with designs, problems of enumeration, and partition. Presents fundamentals in addition to latest advances, with illustrative problems at the end of each chapter. Enlarged appendixes include a longer list of block designs.
