The linear mixed model has become the main parametric tool for the analysis of continuous longitudinal data, as the authors discussed in their 2000 book.

Developed from lecture notes and ready to be used for a course on the graduate level, this concise text aims to introduce the fundamental concepts of nonparametric estimation theory while maintaining the exposition suitable for a first approach in the field.

Now available in paperback, this book covers some recent developments in statistical inference. It provides methods applicable in problems involving nuisance parameters such as those encountered in comparing two exponential distributions or in ANOVA without the assumption of equal error variances.

This book summarizes current knowledge of the theory of estimation for semiparametric models with missing data, applying modern methods to missing, censored, and coarsened data with the goal of deriving estimators that are as robust and efficient as possible.

This book introduces basic concepts, main results and widely-applied mathematical tools in the spectral analysis of large dimensional random matrices. This updated edition includes two new chapters and summaries from the field of random matrix theory.

This text emphasizes the main ideas underlying a variety of nonparametric and semiparametric methods. This edition contains over one hundred pages of new material as well as empirical examples to illustrate the methods presented.

Bayesian statistics is one of the active research areas in statistics. This book provides the theoretical background behind the important development, Markov chain Monte Carlos methods.

The book is aimed at applied statisticians, graduate students of statistics, and students and researchers with a strong interest in statistics and data analysis. This second edition is extensively revised, especially those sections relating with Bayesian concepts.

However, a modeling framework incorporating stochastic models, likelihood calculation, prediction intervals and procedures for model selection, was not developed until recently. More advanced topics are covered in Part 3, including the mathematical properties of the models and extensions of the models for specific problems.

Observational studies are common in most fields that study the effects of treatments on people. This book is both an introduction to statistical inference in observational studies and a discussion of the principles guiding the design of observational studies.

This book provides a comprehensive treatment of linear mixed models for continuous longitudinal data. Next to model formulation, this edition puts major emphasis on exploratory data analysis for all aspects of the model, such as the marginal model, subject-specific profiles, and residual covariance structure.

This reference text presents comprehensive coverage of the various notions of stochastic orderings, their closure properties, and their applications. It is an ideal reference for anyone interested in decision making under uncertainty.

This volume is the first book-length treatment of model-based geostatistics. The text is expository, emphasizing statistical methods and applications rather than the underlying mathematical theory. It features analyses of datasets from a range of scientific contexts.

Originally published in 1981, this title includes a bibliography and an errata list.

This book covers a highly relevant topic that is of wide interest, especially in finance, engineering and computational biology. With an emphasis on the practical implementation of the simulation and estimation methods presented, the text will be useful to practitioners with minimal mathematical background.

Directly oriented towards real practical application, this book develops both the basic theoretical framework of extreme value models and the statistical inferential techniques for using these models in practice.

This book is a comprehensive treatment of inference for hidden Markov models, including both algorithms and statistical theory. The book builds on recent developments, both at the foundational level and the computational level, to present a self-contained view.

This book provides a systematic in-depth analysis of nonparametric regression with random design. It covers almost all known estimates. The emphasis is on distribution-free properties of the estimates.

Presents a unified statistical outlook on both classical methods of demography and recent developments. Exercises are included to facilitate its classroom use. Both authors have contributed extensively to statistical demography and served in advisory roles and as statistical consultants in the field.

This book contains the ideas of functional data analysis by a number of case studies. Every reader should gain not only a specific understanding of the methods of functional data analysis, but more importantly a general insight into the underlying patterns of thought.

The first edition of this book was the first comprehensive text written solely on principal component analysis. The second edition updates and substantially expands the original version, and is once again the definitive text on the subject. Its length is nearly double that of the first edition.

This text is concerned with Bayesian learning, inference and forecasting in dynamic environments.

Survival analysis arises in many fields of study including medicine, biology, engineering, public health, epidemiology, and economics. It presents a balance between theory and applications, and for each class of models discussed, detailed examples and analyses from case studies are presented whenever possible.

A book in the "Springer Series" in Statistics.

This book presents the latest statistical methods required for applying functional data analysis to problems arising in geosciences, finance, economics and biology. It describes all procedures algorithmically, supported by a complete asymptotic theory.

This textbook for graduate students in statistics, data science, and public health deals with the practical challenges that come with big, complex, and dynamic data.

The study of copulas and their role in statistics is a new but vigorously growing field. In this book the student or practitioner of statistics and probability will find discussions of the fundamental properties of copulas and some of their primary applications.

In this new edition the author has added substantial material on Bayesian analysis, including lengthy new sections on such important topics as empirical and hierarchical Bayes analysis, Bayesian calculation, Bayesian communication, and group decision making.
