Featured authors Sir David Cox Cambridge University Press published three books by Sir David Cox in recent years and their diversity illustrates the range of application of modern statistical ideas. The first, Principles of Statistical Inference (2006), deals with the role of probability in underpinning the assessment of uncertainty involved in interpreting data. The second, Principles of Applied Statistics (2011), co-authored by Christl Donnelly, discusses the application of statistical ideas to the design and analysis of investigations with illustrations from many fields. The third, Case-Control Studies (2014), co-authored by Ruth Keogh, examines a type of retrospective investigation of importance especially but not only in epidemiology.

Previously in 2005, the Press published two volumes of his selected papers with commentaries by the author.

Sir David Cox is the first recipient of the International Research Prize set up last year by five learned societies concerned with statistical applications and theory and also joint holder with Bradley Efron (Stanford), also a Cambridge University Press author, of the 2017 BBVA Foundation Frontiers of Knowledge Award in the Basic Sciences.

Bradley Efron and Trevor Hastie Authors of Computer Age Statistical Inference The prize-winning Computer Age Statistical Inference by two eminent scientists examines how the theory and practice of statistics has evolved from the introduction of electronic computation to our current big data environment. A series of important topics - empirical Bayes, survival analysis, the jackknife and bootstrap, random forests, deep learning, and dozens more - are examined, both for what they do and why they are done.

The book is intended for both statisticians and other researchers with interests in data science. A score of data sets, small and large, (available from the authors’ book website: web. stanford.edu/~hastie/CASI/) are used as illustration, accompanied by more than two hundred displays.

René L. Schilling Author of Measures, Integrals and Martingales Author René L. Schilling sheds light on his book Measures, Integrals and Martingales: When writing Measures, Integrals and Martingales, I wanted to create a text which can be used in class and as a text for self-study for undergraduates. This meant that I deferred all topological aspects to later chapters, thus creating a text on measure and integration in a “familiar” Euclidean setting, but with proofs which are easily transferred to more abstract situations. It is a unique feature of the text that martingales and conditional expectations are not only developed for probability measures but for general sigma-finite measures.

‘How and why is computational statistics taking over the world? In this serious work of synthesis that is also fun to read, Efron and Hastie, two pioneers in the integration of parametric and nonparametric statistical ideas, give their take on the unreasonable effectiveness of statistics and machine learning in the context of a series of clear, historically informed examples.’

Andrew Gelman, Columbia University, New York

‘This unusual book describes the nature of statistics by displaying multiple examples of the way the field has evolved over the past sixty years, as it has adapted to the rapid increase in available computing

power. The authors’ perspective is summarized nicely when they say, ‘very roughly speaking, algorithms are what statisticians do, while inference says why they do them’.

The book explains this ‘why’; that is, it explains the purpose and progress of statistical research, through a close look at many major methods, methods the authors themselves have advanced and studied at great length.

Both enjoyable and enlightening, Computer Age Statistical Inference is written especially for those who want to hear the big ideas, and see them instantiated through the essential mathematics that defines statistical analysis. It makes a great supplement to the traditional curricula for beginning graduate students.’

Rob Kass, Carnegie Mellon University, Pennsylvania

‘This is a terrific book. It gives a clear, accessible, and entertaining account of the interplay between theory and methodological development that has driven statistics in the computer age. The authors succeed brilliantly in locating contemporary algorithmic methodologies for analysis of ‘big data’ within the framework of established statistical theory.’

Random Graphs and Complex Networks Volume 1 Remco van der Hofstad Technische Universiteit Eindhoven, The Netherlands

Network science is one of the fastest growing areas in science and business.

This classroom-tested, self-contained book is designed for master’s-level courses and provides a rigorous treatment of random graph models for networks, featuring many examples of real-world networks for motivation and numerous exercises to build intuition and experience.

Contents: Preface; Course outline; 1. Introduction; Part I. Preliminaries: 2. Probabilistics methods; 3. Branching processes; Part II. Basic Models: 4. Phase transition for the Erdos–Renyi random graph; 5. Erdos–Renyi random graph

revisited; Part III. Models for Complex Networks: 6. Generalized random graphs; 7. Configuration model; 8. Preferential attachment models; Appendix; Glossary; References; Index. ‘… a modern and deep, yet accessible, introduction to the models that make up [the] basis for the theoretical study of random graphs and complex networks. The book strikes a balance between providing broad perspective and analytic rigor that is a pleasure for the reader.’

Adam Wierman, California Institute of Technology

‘This text builds a bridge between the mathematical world of random graphs and the real world of complex networks. It combines techniques from probability theory and combinatorics to analyze the structural properties of large random graphs. Accessible to network researchers from different disciplines, as well as masters and graduate students, the material is suitable for a one-semester course, and is laced with exercises that help the reader grasp the content. The exposition focuses on a number of core models that have driven recent progress in the field, including the Erdős–Rényi random graph, the configuration model, and preferential attachment models. A detailed description is given of all their key properties. This is supplemented with insightful remarks about properties of related models so that a full panorama unfolds. As the presentation develops, the link to complex networks provides constant motivation for the routes that are being chosen.’

Frank den Hollander, Universiteit Leiden

‘The first volume of Remco van der Hofstad’s Random Graphs and Complex Networks is the definitive introduction into the mathematical world of random networks. Written for students with only a modest background in probability theory, it provides plenty of motivation for the topic and introduces the essential tools of probability at a gentle pace. It covers the modern theory of Erdős–Rényi graphs, as well as the most important models of scalefree networks that have emerged in the last fifteen years. This is a truly wonderful first volume; the second volume, leading up to current research topics, is eagerly awaited.’

Probability on Trees and Networks Russell Lyons Indiana University, Bloomington

and Yuval Peres Microsoft Research, Washington

This authoritative state-of-the-art account of probability on networks for graduate students and researchers in mathematics, statistics, computer science, and engineering, brings together sixty years of research, including many developments where the authors played a leading role. The text emphasizes intuition, while also giving complete proofs.

Contents: 1. Some highlights; 2. Random walks and electric networks; 3. Special networks; 4. Uniform spanning trees; 5. Branching processes, second moments, and percolation; 6. Isoperimetric inequalities; 7. Percolation on transitive graphs; 8. The mass-transport technique and percolation; 9. Infinite electrical networks and Dirichlet functions; 10. Uniform spanning forests; 11. Minimal spanning forests; 12. Limit theorems for Galton–Watson processes; 13. Escape rate of random walks and embeddings; 14. Random walks on groups and Poisson boundaries; 15. Hausdorff dimension; 16. Capacity and stochastic processes; 17. Random walks on Galton– Watson trees.

‘This long-awaited work focuses on one of the most interesting and important parts of probability theory.

Half a century ago, most work on models such as random walks, Ising, percolation and interacting particle systems concentrated on processes defined on the d-dimensional Euclidean lattice. In the intervening years, interest has broadened dramatically to include processes on more general graphs, with trees being a particularly important case. This led to new problems and richer behavior, and as a result, to the development of new techniques. The authors are two of the major developers of this area; their expertise is evident throughout.’

Thomas M. Liggett, University of California, Los Angeles

‘Masterly, beautiful, encyclopaedic, and yet browsable – this great achievement is obligatory reading for anyone working near the conjunction of probability and network theory.’

Geoffrey Grimmett, University of Cambridge

‘For the last ten years, I have not let a doctoral student graduate without reading this [work]. Sadly, the earliest of those students are missing a considerable amount of material that the bound and published edition contains. Not only are the classical topics of random walks, electrical theory, and uniform spanning trees

covered in more coherent fashion than in any other source, but this book is also the best place to learn about a number of topics for which the other choices for textual material are limited. These include mass transport, random walk boundaries, and dimension and capacity in the context of Markov processes.’

Modern scientific technology, such as microarrays and fMRI machines, produces data in vast quantities. Bradley Efron explains the empirical Bayes methods that help make sense of a new statistical world. This is essential reading for professional statisticians and graduate students wishing to use and understand important new techniques like false discovery rates.

Contents: Introduction and foreword; 1. Empirical Bayes and the James–Stein estimator; 2. Large-scale hypothesis testing; 3. Significance testing algorithms; 4. False discovery rate control; 5. Local false discovery rates; 6. Theoretical, permutation and empirical null distributions; 7. Estimation accuracy; 8. Correlation questions; 9. Sets of cases (enrichment); 10. Combination, relevance, and comparability; 11. Prediction and effect size estimation; A. Exponential families; B. Programs and data sets; Bibliography; Index.

‘In the last decade, Efron has played a leading role in laying down the foundations of large-scale inference, not only in bringing back and developing old ideas, but also linking them with more recent developments, including the theory of false discovery rates and Bayes methods. We are indebted to him for this timely, readable and highly informative monograph, a book he is uniquely qualified to write. It is a synthesis of many of Efron’s own contributions over the last decade with that of closely related material, together with some connecting theory, valuable comments, and challenges for the future. His avowed aim is ‘not to have the last word’ but to help us deal ‘with the burgeoning statistical problems of the twenty-first century’. He has succeeded admirably.’

Mathematical Foundations of Infinite-Dimensional Statistical Models Evarist Giné University of Connecticut

and Richard Nickl University of Cambridge

High-dimensional and nonparametric statistical models are ubiquitous in modern data science. This book develops a mathematically coherent and objective approach to statistical inference in such models, with a focus on function estimation problems arising from random samples (density estimation) or

from Gaussian regression/signal in white noise problems.

‘Finally – a book that goes all the way in the mathematics of nonparametric statistics. It is reasonably selfcontained, despite its depth and breadth, including accessible overviews of the necessary analysis and approximation theory.’

Confidence, Likelihood, Probability Statistical Inference with Confidence Distributions Tore Schweder Universitetet i Oslo

and Nils Lid Hjort Universitetet i Oslo

The baby without the bathwater? This lively book lays out a methodology of confidence distributions and puts them through their paces with a generous mixture of theory, illustrations, applications and exercises – suitable for statisticians at all levels of experience, as well as for data-oriented scientists.

The methodology yields posterior distributions for parameters, but without the Bayesian ingredients.

‘This book presents a detailed and wide-ranging account of an approach to inference that moves the discipline towards increased cohesion, avoiding the artificial distinction between testing and estimation. Innovative and thorough, it is sure to have an impact both in the foundations of inference and in a wide range of practical applications of inference.’

Probability

Long-Range Dependence and Self-Similarity Vladas Pipiras University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill

and Murad S. Taqqu Boston University

Real-world time series rarely satisfy simple assumptions, often exhibiting long-range dependence. Ignoring this undermines accurate detection of trends and other important behavior. This text for graduate students and researchers in statistics and probability is also a reference for specialists in fields such as economics, finance, and hydrology.

‘This is a marvelous book that brings together both classical background material and the latest research results on long-range dependence.

The book is written so that it can be used as a main source by a graduate student, including all the essential proofs. I highly recommend this book.’

Fractals in Probability and Analysis

Non-homogeneous Random Walks

Christopher J. Bishop

Lyapunov Function Methods for Near-Critical Stochastic Systems Mikhail Menshikov

Stony Brook University, State University of New York

and Yuval Peres Microsoft Research, Washington

This book offers a mathematically rigorous introduction to fractals, emphasizing examples and fundamental ideas while minimizing technicalities. The clear presentation of a broad range of techniques makes the volume accessible to graduate students, while the independent nature of chapters renders it a useful supplement or resource for a variety of courses.

‘Fractal sets are now a key ingredient of much of mathematics, ranging from dynamical systems, transformation groups, stochastic processes, to modern analysis. This delightful book gives a correspondingly broad view of fractal sets. The presentation is original, clear and thoughtful, often with new and interesting approaches.

It is suited both to graduate students and researchers, discussing reasonably easily accessible questions as well as research topics that are being actively investigated today. For example, in addition to learning about fractals, students will get new insights into some core topics, such as Brownian motion, while researchers will find new ideas for up-to-date research, for example, related to analysts’ traveling salesman problems. The book is splendid for a variety of graduate courses, with most sections being essentially independent of each other, and is supported by a very large number of exercises of varying levels with hints and solutions.’

Advance praise: ‘Guy Thomas challenges the orthodox views held by the insurance industry, actuaries, and economists concerning the problem of adverse selection. He makes his case that a little adverse selection is actually a good thing in a sensible, pragmatic, and compelling manner. His critical insights about the debates on restricting risk classification in insurance should be essential reading for policy makers.’

Practical Bayesian Inference A Primer for Physical Scientists Coryn A. L. Bailer-Jones Max-Planck-Institut für Astronomie, Heidelberg

This volume introduces the major concepts of probability and statistics and the computational tools students need to extract information from data in the presence of uncertainty. Using a simple and intuitive Bayesian approach, the emphasis throughout is on the principles and showing how these methods can be implemented in practice.

‘Coryn A. L. Bailer-Jones provides a coherent introduction to the most important modern statistical methods and computational tools for analysing data. His writing style is easy to follow, without the burden of formal proofs and complex derivations, but with sufficient mathematical rigour. This book could be used as an excellent textbook for a semesterlong course aimed at undergraduate and graduate students of physical sciences and engineering (knowledge of basic calculus is assumed, but no specific experience with probability or statistics is required). Theoretical concepts and examples of applications are extensively illustrated and supported by author’s code in the R language.’

Written by experts in the field, this pioneering text is the first to examine the crucial interaction between big data and three diverse networks: communication, social and biological.

Using critical mathematical tools and state-of-the-art research results, it is an essential reference for graduate

‘I wish this book had been around when I was a student! It ticks all the boxes: the primary focus on spatial analysis and interrogation of geospatial data is essential for sound, sustainable and evidencebased decision-making, and will give invaluable practical skills to students and practitioners alike; while the adoption of landscape ecology as the underpinning conceptual framework emphasises the need for joined-up, holistic and ultimately spatiallydetermined thinking in coastal science and management. The author shows

Physical Sciences and Engineering / Social and Behavioural Sciences a deep understanding of her subject matter, and her enthusiasm for, and love of, the coast stands out. Even the more complex ideas and methods are explained clearly and in an easily accessible, student-friendly manner.

Although written for students of the coast, many of the concepts and methods introduced here will be readily transferrable to other areas of Earth Science specialism where geospatial expertise is needed.’

Also of Interest Truth or Truthiness Distinguishing Fact from Fiction

by Learning to Think Like a Data Scientist Howard Wainer National Board of Medical Examiners, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Escaping the clutches of truthiness begins with one simple question: ‘what is the evidence?’ Howard Wainer shows how the sceptical mindset of a data scientist can expose truthiness, nonsense, and outright deception. He evaluates the evidence, or lack thereof, supporting claims in many fields, with special emphasis in education.
