In All Likelihood: Statistical Modelling and Inference Using Likelihood
ISBN: 9780198507659 / Angielski / Twarda / 544 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This text concentrates on what can be achieved using the liklihood/Fisherian methods of taking into account uncertainty when studying a statistical problem. It takes the concept of the liklihood as the best method for unifying the demands of statistical modeling and theory of inference. Every liklihood concept is illustrated with realistic examples ranging from a simple comparison of two accident rates to complex studies that require generalized linear or semiparametric modeling. The emphasis is on liklihood not as just a device used to produce an estimate, but as an important tool for...

Financial Modeling Under Non-Gaussian Distributions
ISBN: 9781849965996 / Angielski / Miękka / 541 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Practitioners and researchers who have handled financial market data know that asset returns do not behave according to the bell-shaped curve, associated with the Gaussian or normal distribution. Indeed, the use of Gaussian models when the asset return distributions are not normal could lead to a wrong choice of portfolio, the underestimation of extreme losses or mispriced derivative products. Consequently, non-Gaussian models and models based on processes with jumps, are gaining popularity among financial market practitioners. Non-Gaussian distributions are the key theme of...

Axiomatic Bargaining Game Theory
ISBN: 9789048141784 / Angielski / Miękka / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Many social or economic conflict situations can be modeled by specifying the alternatives on which the involved parties may agree, and a special alternative which summarizes what happens in the event that no agreement is reached. Such a model is called a bargaining game, and a prescription assigning an alternative to each bargaining game is called a bargaining solution. In the cooperative game-theoretical approach, bargaining solutions are mathematically characterized by desirable properties, usually called axioms. In the noncooperative approach, solutions are...
