The area of Reliability has become a very important and active area of research. This is clearly evident from the large body of literature that has been developed in the form of books, volumes and research papers since 1988 when the previous Handbook of Statistics on this area was prepared by P.R. Krishnaiah and C.R. Rao. This is the reason we felt that this is indeed the right time to dedicate another volume in the Handbook of Statistics series to highlight some recent advances in the area of Reliability. With this purpose in mind, we solicited articles from leading experts working in the...

The first and only comprehensive guide to modern record theory and its applications
Although it is often thought of as a special topic in order statistics, records form a unique area, independent of the study of sample extremes. Interest in records has increased steadily over the years since Chandler formulated the theory of records in 1952. Numerous applications of them have been developed in such far-flung fields as meteorology, sports analysis, hydrology, and stock market analysis, to name just a few. And the literature on the subject currently comprises papers and journal...

Timely, comprehensive, practical--an important working resource for all who use this critical statistical method
Discrete Multivariate Distributions is the only comprehensive, single-source reference for this increasingly important statistical subdiscipline. It covers all significant advances that have occurred in the field over the past quarter century in the theory, methodology, computational procedures, and applications of discrete multivariate distributions in a wide range of disciplines. Distributions covered include multinomial, binomial, negative binomial, Poisson, power...
Timely, comprehensive, practical--an important working resource for all who use this critical statistical method
This volume makes up one of two books in a series on continuous multivariate distributions (CMD). Johnson and Kotz published the original, single volume in 1972. The subject has developed greatly since that time, with possible applications such as understanding the complexities of flood, quake, rainfall, and wind control, and now constitutes two broadly classified areas: sampling and modelling.
