Focusing on everyday applications as well as those of scientific research, this classic of modern statistical methods requires little to no mathematical background. Readers develop basic skills for evaluating and using statistical data. Lively, relevant examples include applications to business, government,...

This book demonstrates that nonparametric statistics can be taught from a parametric point of view. As a result, one can exploit various parametric tools such as the use of the likelihood function, penalized likelihood and score functions to not only derive well-known tests but to also go beyond and...

This book discusses recent developments and the latest research in statistics and its applications, primarily in agriculture and industry, survey sampling and biostatistics, gathering articles on a wide variety of topics. Written by leading academics, scientists, researchers and scholars from around...

This concise, easy-to-follow book stimulates interest and develops proficiency in statisticalanalysis. Packed full of helpful exercises-covering a wide variety of conditions,random patterns, and simple models-Understanding Randomness presents a logical sequenceof study, through practice in interpreting...

This book provides an accessible presentation of concepts from probability theory, statistical methods, the design of experiments and statistical quality control. It is shaped by the experience of the two teachers teaching statistical methods and concepts to engineering students, over a decade. Practical...

Large Covariance and Autocovariance Matrices brings together a collection of recent results on sample covariance and autocovariance matrices in high-dimensional models and novel ideas on how to use them for statistical inference in one or more high-dimensional time series models. The prerequisites...

Did you ever want to know the average time it takes to get somewhere based on your cell tower location? Well with statistics, you can calculate things such as intervals, variables, parameters, and others by virtue of using this great math skill. Statistics is concerned with using real world data to...

Large dimensional random matrices (LDRM) with specific patterns arise in econometrics, computer science, mathematics, physics, and statistics. This book provides an easy initiation to LDRM. Through a unified approach, we investigate the existence and properties of the limiting spectral distribution...

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 1993 im Fachbereich Statistik, Note: 2, Universität der Bundeswehr München, Neubiberg (Institut für Statistik), Veranstaltung: Geschichte der Statistik, 2 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Der Stellenwert und die Bedeutung einer statistischen...

All scientific disciplines prize predictive success. Conventional statistical analyses, however, treat prediction as secondary, instead focusing on modeling and hence estimation, testing, and detailed physical interpretation, tackling these tasks before the predictive adequacy of a model is established....

If you know how to program with Python and also know a little about probability, you’re ready to tackle Bayesian statistics. With this book, you'll learn how to solve statistical problems with Python code instead of mathematical notation, and use discrete probability distributions instead of continuous...

The systematic analysis of baseball statistics, often called "sabermetrics," has evolved in recent years to resemble something of a science, attracting fans from diverse professional and educational backgrounds, all fascinated by the analysis itself and its insights into the game. But one...

An in-depth look at the intersection of judgment and statistics in baseball Scouting and scoring are considered fundamentally different ways of ascertaining value in baseball. Scouting seems to rely on experience and intuition, scoring on performance metrics and statistics. In Scouting and...

This guide is a must for any student taking statistics. It contains key equations and formulas all sealed with lamination.
