Since the publication of the by now classical Johnson and Kotz Continuous Multivariate Distributions (Wiley, 1972) there have been substantial developments in multivariate distribution theory especially in the area of non-normal symmetric multivariate distributions. The book by Fang, Kotz and Ng summarizes these developments in a manner which is accessible to a reader with only limited background (advanced real-analysis calculus, linear algebra and elementary matrix calculus). Many of the results in this field are due to Kai-Tai Fang and his associates and appeared in Chinese publications only. A thorough literature search was conducted and the book represents the latest work - as of 1988 - in this rapidly developing field of multivariate distributions. The authors are experts in statistical distribution theory.

Balakrishnan and Normal L. JohnsonDiscrete Multivariate Distributions by Samuel Kotz, N. Balakrishnan and Normal L. JohnsonUnivariate Discrete Distributions, 3rd Edition by Samuel Kotz, N. Balakrishnan and Normal L. Johnson Discover the latest advances in discrete distributions theory The Third Edition of the critically acclaimed Univariate Discrete Distributions provides a self-contained, systematic treatment of the theory, derivation, and application of probability distributions for count data. Generalized zeta-function and q-series distributions have been added and are covered in detail. New families of distributions, including Lagrangian-type distributions, are integrated into this thoroughly revised and updated text. Additional applications of univariate discrete distributions are explored to demonstrate the flexibility of this powerful method. A thorough survey of recent statistical literature draws attention to many new distributions and results for the classical distributions. Approximately 450 new references along with several new sections are introduced to reflect the current literature and knowledge of discrete distributions. Beginning with mathematical, probability, and statistical fundamentals, the authors provide clear coverage of the key topics in the field, including:  Families of discrete distributions Binomial distribution Poisson distribution Negative binomial distribution Hypergeometric distributions Logarithmic and Lagrangian distributions Mixture distributions Stopped-sum distributions Matching, occupancy, runs, and q-series distributions Parametric regression models and miscellanea  Emphasis continues to be placed on the increasing relevance of Bayesian inference to discrete distribution, especially with regard to the binomial and Poisson distributions. New derivations of discrete distributions via stochastic processes and random walks are introduced without unnecessarily complex discussions of stochastic processes. Throughout the Third Edition, extensive information has been added to reflect the new role of computer-based applications. With its thorough coverage and balanced presentation of theory and application, this is an excellent and essential reference for statisticians and mathematicians.

Timely, comprehensive, practical--an important working resource forall who use this critical statistical method Discrete Multivariate Distributions is the only comprehensive,single-source reference for this increasingly important statisticalsubdiscipline. It covers all significant advances that haveoccurred in the field over the past quarter century in the theory,methodology, computational procedures, and applications of discretemultivariate distributions in a wide range of disciplines.Distributions covered include multinomial, binomial, negativebinomial, Poisson, power series, hypergeometric, Polya-Eggenberger,Ewens, orders, and some families of distributions. Eachdistribution is presented in its own chapter, along with necessarydetails and descriptions of real-world applications gleaned fromthe current literature on discrete multivariatedistributions. Discrete Multivariate Distributions is the fourth volume of theongoing revision of Johnson and Kotz's acclaimed Distributions inStatistics--universally acknowledged to be the definitive work onstatistical distributions. Originally planned as a revision ofChapter 11 of that classic, this project soon blossomed into asubstantial volume as a result of the unprecedented growth that hasoccurred in the literature on discrete multivariate distributionsand their applications over the past quarter century. The only comprehensive, single-volume work on the subject, thisvaluable reference affords statisticians direct access to all ofthe latest developments concerning discrete multivariatedistributions. Concentrating primarily on areas of interest totheoretical as well as applied statisticians, the authors providecomplete coverage of several important discrete multivariatedistributions. These include multinomial, binomial, negativebinomial, Poisson, power series, hypergeometric, Polya-Eggenberger,Ewens, orders, and some families of distributions. Discrete Multivariate Distributions begins with a general overviewof the multivariate method in which the authors lay the basictheoretical groundwork for the discussions that follow. For clarityand consistency, subsequent chapters follow a similar format,beginning with a concise historical account followed by adiscussion of properties and characteristics. Coverage thenadvances to in-depth explorations of inferential issues andapplications, liberally supplemented with helpful details and acollection of real-world applications obtained from the authors'extensive searches of current literature worldwide. Discrete Multivariate Distributions is an essential workingresource for researchers, professionals, practitioners, andgraduate students in statistics, mathematics, computer science,engineering, medicine, and the biological sciences.

A comprehensive account of economic size distributions around the world and throughout the years 
In the course of the past 100 years, economists and applied statisticians have developed a remarkably diverse variety of income distribution models, yet no single resource convincingly accounts for all of these models, analyzing their strengths and weaknesses, similarities and differences. Statistical Size Distributions in Economics and Actuarial Sciences is the first collection to systematically investigate a wide variety of parametric models that deal with income, wealth, and related notions. Christian Kleiber and Samuel Kotz survey, compliment, compare, and unify all of the disparate models of income distribution, highlighting at times a lack of coordination between them that can result in unnecessary duplication. Considering models from eight languages and all continents, the authors discuss the social and economic implications of each as well as distributions of size of loss in actuarial applications. Specific models covered include: <ul>
<li>Pareto distributions</li> <li>Lognormal distributions</li> <li>Gamma-type size distributions</li> <li>Beta-type size distributions</li> <li>Miscellaneous size distributions</li> </ul>
Three appendices provide brief biographies of some of the leading players along with the basic properties of each of the distributions. Actuaries, economists, market researchers, social scientists, and physicists interested in econophysics will find Statistical Size Distributions in Economics and Actuarial Sciences to be a truly one-of-a-kind addition to the professional literature.
