Bücher der Reihe Lecture Notes in Statistics - Proceedings

These nine papers cover three different areas for longitudinal data analysis, four dealing with longitudinal data subject to measurement errors, four on incomplete longitudinal data analysis, and the last one for inferences for longitudinal data subject to outliers.

This proceedings volume contains eight selected papers thatwere presented in the International Symposium in Statistics (ISS) 2015 OnAdvances in Parametric and Semi-parametric Analysis of Multivariate, TimeSeries, Spatial-temporal, and Familial-longitudinal Data, held in St. John's,Canada from July 6 to 8, 2015.

Stochastic Orders in Reliability and Risk Management is composed of 19 contributions on the theory of stochastic orders, stochastic comparison of order statistics, stochastic orders in reliability and risk analysis, and applications.

The chapters in this volume stress the need for advances in theoretical understanding to go hand-in-hand with the widespread practical application of forecasting in industry.

Methods of risk analysis and the outcome of particular evaluations and predictions are covered in detail in this proceedings volume, whose contributions are based on invited presentations from Professor Mei-Ling Ting Lee's 2011 symposium on Risk Analysis and the Evaluation of Predictions.

Copulas are mathematical objects that fully capture the dependence structure among random variables and hence offer great flexibility in building multivariate stochastic models. This book is divided into two main parts: Part I - "Surveys" contains 11 chapters that provide an up-to-date account of essential aspects of copula models.

This volume contains a selection of chapters base on papers presented at the Fourth Seattle Symposium in Biostatistics: Clinical Trials.

Copulas are mathematical objects that fully capture the dependence structure among random variables and hence offer great flexibility in building multivariate stochastic models. Historically, the Gaussian copula model has been one of the most common models in credit risk.

In June 2010, a conference, Probability Approximations and Beyond, was held at the National University of Singapore (NUS), in honor of pioneering mathematician Louis Chen.

A title that arises from the International Spring School "Advances and Challenges in Space-Time modelling of Natural Events," which took place March 2010. It details developments, methods and applications in spatial statistics and related areas.

The product of a high-flying summer school in Paris in 2009, this volume synthesises the state of the art on ill-posed statistical inverse problems and high-dimensional estimation and explores the ways these techniques can be applied to economics.

Stochastic Orders in Reliability and Risk Management is composed of 19 contributions on the theory of stochastic orders, stochastic comparison of order statistics, stochastic orders in reliability and risk analysis, and applications.

These nine papers cover three different areas for longitudinal data analysis, four dealing with longitudinal data subject to measurement errors, four on incomplete longitudinal data analysis, and the last one for inferences for longitudinal data subject to outliers.

This volume contains a selection of chapters based on papers to be presented at the Fifth Statistical Challenges in Modern Astronomy Symposium. Modern astronomical research faces a vast range of statistical issues which have spawned a revival in methodological activity among astronomers.
