"This useful volume provides a thorough synthesis of second-order asymptotics in multistage sampling methodologies for selection and ranking unifying available second-order results in general and applying them to a host of situations Contains, in each chapter, helpful Notes and Overviews to facilitate comprehension, as well as Complements and Problems for more in-depth study of specific topics!"

At the International Indian Statistical Association Conference, held at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada, participants focused on advancements in theory and methodology of probability and statistics. This is one of two volumes containing invited papers from the meeting. The 32 chapters deal with different topics of interest, including stochastic processes and inference, distributions and characterizations, inference, Bayesian inference, selection methods, regression methods, and methods in health research. The text is ideal for applied mathematicians, statisticians, and researchers in the field.

Sequential analysis refers to the body of statistical theory and methods where the sample size may depend in a random manner on the accumulating data. A formal theory in which optimal tests are derived for simple statistical hypotheses in such a framework was developed by Abraham Wald in the early 1

Demonstrates ways to track industrial processes and performance, integrating related areas such as engineering process control, statistical reasoning in TQM, robust parameter design, control charts, multivariate process monitoring, capability indices, experimental design, empirical model building, and process optimization. The book covers a range of statistical methods and emphasizes practical applications of quality control systems in manufacturing, organization and planning.

The exponential distribution is one of the most significant and widely used distribution in statistical practice. It possesses several important statistical properties, and yet exhibits great mathematical tractability. This volume provides a systematic and comprehensive synthesis of the diverse literature on the theory and applications of the expon

An encyclopaedic coverage of the literature in the area of ranking and selection procedures. It also deals with the estimation of unknown ordered parameters. This book can serve as a text for a graduate topics course in ranking and selection. It is also a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners.

Priced very competitively compared with other textbooks at this level! This gracefully organized textbook reveals the rigorous theory of probability and statistical inference in the style of a tutorial, using worked examples, exercises, numerous figures and tables, and computer simulations to develop and illustrate concepts. Beginning wi

Reflecting current technological capacities and analytical trends, Computational Methods in Statistics and Econometrics showcases Monte Carlo and nonparametric statistical methods for models, simulations, analyses, and interpretations of statistical and econometric data. The author explores applications of Monte Carlo methods in Bayesian estimation, state space modeling, and bias correction of ordinary least squares in autoregressive models. The book offers straightforward explanations of mathematical concepts, hundreds of figures and tables, and a range of empirical examples. A CD-ROM packaged with the book contains all of the source codes used in the text.

Sequential Analysis: Hypothesis Testing and Changepoint Detection systematically develops the theory of sequential hypothesis testing and quickest changepoint detection. It also describes important applications in which theoretical results can be used efficiently. The book reviews recent accomplishments in hypothesis testing and changepoint detecti
