Procrustes Problems
ISBN: 9780198510581 / Angielski / Twarda / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Procrustean methods are used to transform one set of data to represent another set of data as closely as possible. The name derived from the Greek myth where Procrustes invited passers-by in for a pleasant meal and a night's rest on a magical bed that would exactly fit any guest. He then either stretched the guest on a rack or cut off their legs to make them fit perfectly into the bed. Theseus turned the tables on Procrustes, fatally adjusting him to fit his own bed. The text is the first systematic overview of Procrustean methods in one volume, presenting a unifying Analysis of Variance...

Parametric Statistical Inference
ISBN: 9780198523598 / Angielski / Twarda / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Inference involves drawing conclusions about some general phenomenon from limited empirical observations in the face of random variability. In a scientific context, the general must include the completely unforeseen if all possibilities are to be considered. Many of the statistical models most used to describe such phenomena belong to one of a small number of families--the exponential, transformation, and stable families. In the past 25 years, the likelihood function has been recognized as the fundamental element of approach to drawing scientific conclusions. This book brings together for the...
