Components of Variance (Chapman & Hall/CRC Monographs on Statistics and Applied Probability)

Identifying the sources and measuring the impact of haphazard variations are important in any number of research applications, from clinical trials and genetics to industrial design and psychometric testing. Only in very simple situations can such variations be represented effectively by independent, identically distributed random variables or by random sampling from a hypothetical infinite population. Components of Variance illuminates the complexities of the subject, setting forth its principles with focus on both the development of models for detailed analyses and the statistical techniques themselves. The authors first consider balanced and unbalanced situations, then move to the treatment of non-normal data, beginning with the Poisson and binomial models and followed by extensions to survival data and more general situations. In the final chapter, they discuss ways of extending and assessing various models, including the study of exceedances, the use of nonlinear representations, the study of transformations of the response variable, and the detailed examination of the distributional form of the underlying random variables. Careful signposting and numerous examples from genetic data analysis, clinical trial design, longitudinal data analysis, industrial design, and meta-analysis make this book accessible - and valuable - not only to statisticians but to all applied research scientists who use statistical methods.

Multivariate Dependencies: Models, Analysis and Interpretation (Chapman & Hall/CRC Monographs on Statistics and Applied Probability)

Large observational studies involving research questions that require the measurement of several features on each individual arise in many fields including the social and medical sciences. This book sets out both the general concepts and the more technical statistical issues involved in analysis and interpretation. Numerous illustrative examples are described in outline and four studies are discussed in some detail. The use of graphical representations of dependencies and independencies among the features under study is stressed, both to incorporate available knowledge at the planning stage of an analysis and to summarize aspects important for interpretation after detailed statistical analysis is complete. This book is aimed at research workers using statistical methods as well as statisticians involved in empirical research.

Queues for service of one kind or another arise in many different fields of activity. In recent years a considerable amount of research has been conducted into the properties of simplified mathematical models of such queueing systems. Our objects in the present mono graph are threefold. First we have tried, especially in Chapter I, to give an account of the general ideas that are useful in describing and thinking about queueing systems. Secondly, we have illustrated by examples some of the mathematical techniques that are useful for the study of these systems. Finally, we have given some explicit mathematical results which may be useful in practical investigations. A recent bibliography gave some 600 papers on queueing and allied subjects. Clearly we cannot, in the modest limits of the present work, cover more than a small proportion of the huge amount of material available. However, some results that we have not had space to discuss in detail have been given in outline in the form of exercises.

METHUEN

A text that stresses the general concepts of the theory of statistics Theoretical Statistics provides a systematic statement of the theory of statistics, emphasizing general concepts rather than mathematical rigor. Chapters 1 through 3 provide an overview of statistics and discuss some of the basic philosophical ideas and problems behind statistical procedures. Chapters 4 and 5 cover hypothesis testing with simple and null hypotheses, respectively. Subsequent chapters discuss non-parametrics, interval estimation, point estimation, asymptotics, Bayesian procedure, and deviation theory. Student familiarity with standard statistical techniques is assumed.

This book provides an introductory account of the mathematical analysis of stochastic processes. It is helpful for statisticians and applied mathematicians interested in methods for solving particular problems, rather than for pure mathematicians interested in general theorems.
