Direct Sum Decompositions of Torsion-free Finite Rank Groups

Textbook

Galois Theory Third Edition

Theodore G. Faticoni

I.N. Stewart

Series: Pure and Applied Mathematics

Series: Chapman & Hall/CRC Mathematics

This book examines advanced topics in the direct sum decompositions of abelian groups and their consequences. It offers a unified approach to theoretic properties, covering isomorphism, endomorphism, refinement, the Baer splitting property, Gabriel filters, and endomorphism modules. The author makes extensive use of illustrative examples, with several open-ended examples serving as exercises at the end of each chapter to reinforce the concepts presented throughout the text. Useful appendices containing background material appear at the end of the book, making it an ideal research tool for mathematicians studying abelian groups.

Taking into account the many developments that have occurred since the publication of the first edition more than 30 years ago, this edition brings the presentation in line with more modern approaches. While preserving and extending the most popular features of the previous editions, the author reorganized the material to place the concrete before the abstract. He also added more technical history, incorporated several newer proofs, and revived some classical topics. There is simply no more engaging, no more accessible, no more outstanding introduction to the intriguing concepts of abstract algebra than Galois Theory.

Focusing mainly on cyclic groups, this book explores the factorization theory of abelian groups. It first shows how to construct new factorizations from old ones. The authors then discuss nonperiodic and periodic factorizations, quasiperiodicity, and the factoring of periodic subsets. They also examine how tiling plays an important role in number theory. The next several chapters cover factorizations of infinite abelian groups; combinatorics, such as Ramsey numbers, Latin squares, and complex Hadamard matrices; and connections with codes, including variable length codes, error correcting codes, and integer codes. The final chapter deals with several classical problems of Fuchs.

After the pioneering work of Brauer in the middle of the 20th century, many new developments have taken place and group representation theory has grown into a very large field of study. This progress and the remaining open problems have ensured that group representation theory remains a lively area of research. In this book, leading researchers in the field cover finite reductive groups and spetses, cohomology and representations of finite groups, representations of Hecke algebras, topics in algebraic groups, fusion systems and blocks, finite subgroups of Lie groups, the classification of endopermutation modules, and rand cohomology of categories.

Certain NumberTheoretic Episodes in Algebra

International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Trieste, Italy

R. Sivaramakrishnan

Series: Pure and Applied Mathematics

This definitive resource is the first book to present higher algebraic K-theory of orders and group rings as well as characterize higher algebraic K-theory as Mackey functors that lead to equivariant higher algebraic K-theory and their relative generalizations. Thus, it makes computations of higher K-theory of group rings more accessible and provides novel techniques for the computations of higher K-theory of finite and some infinite groups. The book begins with a review of classical K-theory and then examines exact, symmetric monoidal, and Waldhausen categories; profinite higher K- and G-theory of exact categories, orders, and group rings; and Farrell–Jones and Baum–Connes isomorphism conjectures.

Focusing on the interconnections between number theory and commutative algebra, this self-contained book presents the conceptual foundations of commutative algebra arising from number theory. Using a pedagogical approach, the author examines situations where explicit algebraic analogues of some theorems of number theory are available. Beginning with elements of number theory and algebra, the book studies ordered fields, fields with valuation inversion formulae, generating functions, and algebraic number theory. It explores links with ring theory and the polynomial analogue of the Goldbach problem. Coverage includes the Chinese remainder theorem, reciprocity laws, finite groups, abstract Mobius inversion, rings of arithmetic functions, and finite dimensional algebras.

Richard A. Mollin

Okayama University of Science, Japan Series: Lecture Notes in Pure and Applied Mathematics

University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada

Covering an understudied aspect of commutative algebra, this book presents a comprehensive treatment of various simple extensions and their properties. In particular, it examines several properties of simple ring extensions of Noetherian integral domains. The book mainly explores anti-integral, super-primitive, and ultra-primitive extensions and studies certain properties, such as flatness, integrality, and unramifiedness. As experts who have been studying this field for over a decade, the authors present many arguments that they have developed themselves. They discuss Sharma polynomials, vanishing points, Noetherian domains, denominator ideals, unit groups, and polynomial rings.

This update presents a mathematically rigorous yet easy-to-follow treatment of the fundamentals and applications of the subject. This edition removes all advanced material to be even more accessible in scope; adds new fundamental material, including partition theory, generating functions, and combinatorial number theory; and expands coverage of random number generation, Diophantine analysis, and additive number theory. It also includes more applications to cryptography, primality testing, and factoring as well as nearly 70 biographies of major contributors to the field. Appendices of background material and almost 400 exercises supplement the coverage. A solutions manual is available for qualifying instructors.

It highlights the pitfalls that can occur when implementing an algorithm as software and offers suggestions to solve these problems. The book also explores the interactions among program, compiler, and run-time support system, contrasting this with the simpler model assumed for algorithms. Intended for software developers and programmers, it places particular emphasis on the implications of the memory hierarchy on program efficiency.

Beginning with the origin of the four color problem in 1852, the field of graph colorings has developed into one of the most popular areas of graph theory. Introducing graph theory with a coloring theme, this book explores connections between major topics in graph theory and graph colorings, including Ramsey numbers and domination, as well as emerging topics, such as list colorings, rainbow colorings, distance colorings related to the channel assignment problem, and vertex/edge distinguishing colorings. The authors include historical, applied, and algorithmic discussions. They also provide many exercises and suggestions for study projects.

This combinatorics text provides in-depth coverage of recurrences, generating functions, partitions, and permutations, along with some of the most interesting graph and network topics, design constructions, and finite geometries. It presents the computer and software algorithms in pseudo-code and incorporates definitions, theorems, proofs, examples, and nearly 300 illustrations as pedagogical elements of the exposition. Numerous problems, solutions, and hints reinforce basic skills and assist with creative problem solving. The author also offers a website with extensive graph theory informational resources as well as a computational engine to help with calculations for some of the exercises.

Series: Discrete Mathematics and Its Applications

Series: Computational Mathematics

Placing combinatorial and graph-theoretical tools at the forefront of the development of matrix theory, this book uses graphs to explain basic matrix construction, formulas, computations, ideas, and results. It presents material rarely found in other books at this level, including Gersgorin’s theorem and its extensions, the Kronecker product of matrices, sign-nonsingular matrices, and the evaluation of the permanent matrix. The authors provide a combinatorial argument for the classical Cayley–Hamilton theorem and a combinatorial proof of the Jordan canonical form of a matrix. They also describe several applications of matrices in electrical engineering, physics, and chemistry.

At the heart of modern cryptographic algorithms lies computational number theory. Written by a number theorist and practicing cryptographer, this book takes readers from basic number theory through the inner workings of ciphers and protocols to their strengths and weaknesses. The first part of the book provides the mathematical background for cryptography. Next, the book describes a selection of cryptographic algorithms, most of which use number theory. It then presents methods of attack on the cryptographic algorithms and assesses their effectiveness.

Exploring the contributors’ own state-of-the-art applications, this volume shows how process algebra has become a powerful tool for solving design and implementation challenges of concurrent systems. It develops formal methods for parallelizing algorithms for multicore architectures, models the behavior of distributed systems, and discusses how process algebra can tackle the design constraints of embedded systems. Highlighting the recent growth in this burgeoning industry, the contributors cover the Cell Broadband Engine processor of Sony, Toshiba, and IBM; a Channel Ambient Machine for mobile applications; the reuse of concurrent artifacts across different hardware platforms; and much more.

Using propositional modal logic to explain access control principles, this work provides the mathematical means to comprehend, analyze, create, and verify the policies and control mechanisms used to protect resources. It starts with a preliminary introduction and then covers distributed access control, resources and sharing, and security monitors, the latter of which serves as a bridge to classical security models. While structured as a text for advanced undergraduates and graduate students, the book also meets the reference needs of computer engineers, computer scientists, and information technologists responsible for designing, implementing, and verifying computer and information systems.

This text emphasizes solutions to boundary value problems through multiple difference schemes. It addresses the construction of approximate numerical methods and computer algorithms for solving mathematical physics problems. The work develops mathematical models for obtaining desired solutions in minimal time using direct or iterative difference equations. Mathematical Reviews called the book “excellent, with a wealth of mathematical material and techniques.”

Accessible, concise, and self-contained, this book offers an outstanding introduction to three related subjects: differential geometry, differential topology, and dynamical systems. The authors’ intuitive approach forms a treatment that is comprehensible to relative beginners, yet rigorous enough for professional mathematicians. Smooth manifolds, Riemannian metrics, affine connections, the curvature tensor, differential forms, integration on manifolds, and intersection theory provide the foundation for many applications in dynamical systems and mechanics. Topics of special interest addressed in the book include Brouwer’s fixed point theorem, Morse theory, and the geodesic flow.

Transform Methods for Solving Partial Differential Equations illustrates the use of Laplace, Fourier, and Hankel transforms to solve PDEs encountered in science and engineering. This second edition is expanded to provide a broader perspective on the applicability and use of transform methods. It classifies the problems presented in every chapter by type of region, coordinate system, and PDE. Many of the problems included in the book are illustrated to show what they will look like physically. Unlike many mathematics texts, this book provides a step-by-step analysis of problems taken from the actual scientific and engineering literature.

This book provides an introduction to the ideas and techniques of differential geometry and topology. It starts with a brief survey of quantum field theory, gauge theory, general relativity, vector spaces, and topology. Using many illustrations, exercises, and problems, the author demonstrates more elaborate concepts of topology and geometry, including fiber bundles, characteristic classes, and index theorems. New to this second edition is the proof of the index theorem in terms of supersymmetric quantum mechanics. The final two chapters examine anomalies in gauge field theories and the analysis of Polakov’s bosonic string theory from the geometrical point of view.

This handbook provides a complete description of all known finite translation planes. It presents the classification results and proofs for translation planes, offers a full review of all recognized construction techniques for translation planes, and illustrates known examples. The authors describe derivable nets, parallelisms, translation nets and planes, spreads, classes, and various geometries intrinsic to translation planes, including flocks of quadric sets and generalized quadrangles. As a compendium of examples, processes, construction techniques, and models, the handbook equips readers with precise information for finding a particular plane.

Maintaining the standard of excellence set by the previous edition, this text covers the basic geometry of two- and three-dimensional spaces. Written by a master expositor, leading researcher in the field, and MacArthur Fellow, it includes experiments to determine the true shape of the universe and contains illustrated examples and engaging exercises that teach mind-expanding ideas in an intuitive and informal way. Bridging the gap from geometry to the latest work in observational cosmology, the book illustrates the connection between geometry and the behavior of the physical universe and explains how radiation remaining from the big bang may reveal the actual shape of the universe.

Series: Lecture Notes in Pure and Applied Mathematics

This edition of Alfred Gray’s famous textbook continues to offer an outstanding presentation of how to define and compute standard geometric functions along with a dialect of Mathematica® for constructing new curves and surfaces from existing ones. Since Gray’s death, authors Abbena and Salamon have stepped in to bring the book up to date. While maintaining Gray’s intuitive approach, they have reorganized the material to provide a clearer division between the text and the Mathematica code, added a Mathematica notebook as an appendix to each chapter, and addressed important new topics, such as quaternions. More than 400 illustrations of curves and surfaces help readers visualize the concepts.

This work explores new aspects of virtual topology and functor geometry as well as more established facets of noncommutative algebra. The author suggests possible projects that range from straightforward exercises to advanced research level and supplies the necessary background material, including localization theory and the classical lattice of quantum mechanics for a Hilbert space. Presenting the material in an easy, colloquial style to facilitate understanding, he covers category theory and noncommutative spaces, formulates an abstract notion of “affine open” through Grothendieck categorical representations, and proposes a dynamical version of topology and sheaf theory.

This book provides a comprehensive analysis on Markov semigroups both in spaces of bounded and continuous functions as well as in Lp spaces relevant to the invariant measure of the semigroup. It covers Schauder’s estimates for nonhomogeneous elliptic and parabolic problems and for degenerate elliptic operators modeled on the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck operator. The book includes in-depth analysis of Markov semigroups associated with elliptic operators that have unbounded coefficients in unbounded domains. It also features nondegenerate and degenerate Ornstein–Uhlenbeck operators as well as contains classical results of functional analysis and classical theory of PDEs.

Focusing on one of the main pillars of mathematics, this book provides a solid foundation in analysis. Largely self-contained, it begins with the fundamental axioms of the real number system and gradually develops the core of real analysis. The first few chapters present the essentials needed for analysis, including the concepts of sets, relations, and functions. The following chapters cover the theory of calculus on the real line, exploring limits; convergence tests; several functions, such as monotonic and continuous; theorems like mean value, Taylor’s, and Darboux’s; and power series. The final chapters focus on the more advanced theory of Lebesgue measure and integration. A solutions manual is available for qualifying instructors.

Series: Textbooks in Mathematics

Series: Research Notes in Mathematics

From the algebraic properties of a complete number field to the Cauchy integral formula to conformal mapping, this text explores all facets of complex variables, with particular emphasis on using theory in practice. It presents complex analysis as a natural continuation of calculus, discusses the use of computer algebra systems in complex analysis, and integrates MATLAB® exercises and examples throughout. Each chapter features applications from physics and engineering, including those involving differential equations. The text also includes stimulating exercises at the drill, theory, and exploration levels as well as numerous figures to clarify key concepts in complex variable theory.

For the first time in book form, this work presents the new theory of growth and continuity envelopes in function spaces. These concepts originate from the classical result of the Sobolev embedding theorem, ubiquitous in all areas of functional analysis. Self-contained and accessible, the book introduces classical spaces before examining more complex spaces. Including many concrete examples, it first discusses classical spaces, such as Lebesgue and Lorentz, and defines growth and continuity envelopes. The author then examines these functions in subcritical, borderline, and critical cases. The book concludes with several applications that demonstrate the strength of this new theory.

This volume develops the classical theory of the Lebesgue integral and some of its applications. Following a thorough study of the concepts of outer measure and measure, the authors initially present the integral in the context of n-dimensional Euclidean space. A more general treatment of the integral, based on an axiomatic approach, is given later. The book closely examines related topics in real variables, such as functions of bounded variation, the Riemann– Stieltjes integral, Fubini’s theorem, L(p) classes, and various results about differentiation. Several applications of the theory to a specific branch of analysis (harmonic analysis) are also provided.

This book covers the fundamentals of measure theory and probability theory. It begins with the construction of Lebesgue measure via Caratheodory’s outer measure approach and goes on to discuss integration and standard convergence theorems. The book contains an entire chapter devoted to complex measures, Lp spaces, Radon–Nikodym theorem, and the Riesz representation theorem. It also presents the elements of probability theory, the law of large numbers, and central limit theorem. The book then discusses discrete time Markov chains, stationary distributions and limit theorems. The appendix covers many basic topics, including metric spaces, topological spaces and the Stone–Weierstrass theorem.

The first edition of Real Analysis and Foundations gave students the appropriate combination of authority, rigor, and readability that made the topic accessible while retaining the strict discourse necessary to advance their understanding. Maintaining this feature that made the first edition enormously popular, this edition further integrates new concepts built on Fourier analysis and ideas about wavelets, indicating their application to the theory of signal processing. Surpassing a purely theoretical study, the author brings relevance to the material by emphasizing the applications of real analysis in concrete engineering problems in higher dimensions.

Thoroughly updated and reorganized to serve as a primary text for mathematics courses, this third edition covers the basics: relations; functions; orderings; finite, countable, and uncountable sets; and cardinal and ordinal numbers. It also provides five additional selfcontained chapters, consolidates the material on real numbers into a single updated chapter affording flexibility in course design, supplies end-of-section problems with hints of varying degrees of difficulty, includes new material on normal forms and Goodstein sequences, and adds important recent ideas, including filters, ultrafilters, closed unbounded and stationary sets, and partitions.

Since its first edition published in 1981, Sets, Function and Logic has smoothed the road to higher mathematics for legions of undergraduate students. Now in its third edition, the author—a leading popularizer of mathematics—has fully revised his text to reflect a new generation. The narrative is more lively and less textbook-like. Remarks and asides link various topics to the real world. The chapter on complex numbers and discussion of formal symbolic logic is gone in favor of a new introductory chapter on the nature of mathematics and more exercises. The result is a thoroughly engaging book that every student making the transition from high school to university mathematics will welcome.

These techniques are especially valuable for analyzing spatial data sets and physical-biological couplings at different spatial and/or temporal scales. Written in a step-bystep fashion, the book demystifies the techniques, which are often regarded as too complex, and provides an intuitive as well as a formal view for a wide variety of ecological situations and their solutions.

This book presents recently discovered design principles that govern the structure and behavior of biological networks, highlighting simple, recurring circuit elements that make up the network. It provides a quantitative theory for which circuits are found in a given environment and a mathematical framework for understanding and even designing biological circuits. The book requires only basic mathematics and includes a review of the necessary background material. It fills a significant need for an introduction to the concepts, principles, and mathematical tools that will form the basis of future developments in the field.

An Introduction to Exotic Option Pricing

Modern Actuarial Theory and Practice

Second Edition

Series: Chapman & Hall/CRC Financial Mathematics

Philip Booth, Robert Chadburn, Steven Haberman, Dewi James, Zaki Khorasanee, Robert H. Plumb, and Ben Rickayzen

Emphasizing analytical techniques rather than risk management issues, this book presents an applied mathematics approach to pricing a wide range of standard and exotic options within the Black–Scholes framework. No formula is simply quoted, as is the general approach in this difficult subject area. Instead, the author demystifies the perceived complexities surrounding the field of exotic option pricing by deriving each pricing formula in detail. After a brief derivatives review, he addresses dual-expiry, two-asset rainbow, and barrier options. The book also explains how stochastic volatility models are calibrated to the market.

In the years since the publication of the first edition of this bestselling book, the incorporation of ideas and theories from the rapidly growing field of financial economics has precipitated considerable development of thinking in the actuarial profession. This second edition integrates these changes and presents an up-to-date, comprehensive overview of UK and international actuarial theory, practice, and modeling. It describes all of the traditional areas of actuarial activity, but in a manner that highlights the fundamental principles of actuarial theory and practice as well as their economic, financial, and statistical foundations.

This self-contained book describes 1D and 2D finite element codes and automatic hp-adaptivity strategies that are designed to deliver meshes in the full range of error levels. It first considers standard 1D elliptic problems and a 1D wave propagation problem. The author proceeds to discuss 2D elliptic problems, examining two model problems that are slightly beyond standard-level examples. He also includes an entire chapter on geometric modeling and mesh generation. The book then focuses on 2D time-harmonic Maxwell equations. A CD-ROM containing 1D and 2D codes accompanies the book.

Many important problems in engineering and science are modeled by nonlinear PDEs. A new trend in PDEs called structure-preserving numerical methods has recently developed. This book is devoted to one such technique—the discrete variational derivative method. It first introduces the key factors and basic ideas of this method, followed by target problems solvable by the method. The second section describes the rigorous mathematics in detail along with relevant applications, which are illustrated by worked examples. The book concludes with a comprehensive listing of essential references on structure-preserving algorithms for advanced readers.

Optimal Design of Queuing Systems Shaler Stidham Jr.

University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, USA

This book covers emerging OR methodologies in a clear, concise, and unified manner. Building a bridge between theory and practice, it begins with coverage of fundamental models and methods, such as linear, nonlinear, integer, and dynamic programming; networks; simulation; queuing; inventory; stochastic processes; and decision analysis. The book then explores emerging techniques, including multiple criteria optimization, meta heuristics, robust optimization, and complexity and large scale networks. Each chapter gives an overview of a particular methodology, illustrates successful applications, and provides references to computer software availability.

Over the last 30 years, research on optimal design and control of queuing systems has flowered. Although many books exist on descriptive queuing theory, until now, none has addressed the topic from the perspective of optimization. Emphasizing economic interpretation of the output of optimization models, this book offers a thorough examination of this important and rapidly expanding area. With established applications in manufacturing and telecommunications and new applications continually being discovered, the book becomes a vital reference for professionals and an outstanding textbook for OR, computer science, and electrical engineering students.

Optimization Modelling

A Practical Approach

Techniques, Tools, and Trends

Ruhul A. Sarker and Charles S. Newton

Mohammad Modarres

Illustrating the use of modelling in the decision making process, this unified narrative helps readers gain a working knowledge of a wide range of techniques. The authors present these techniques in a straightforward manner illustrated by examples. They analyze the formulation and modelling of a number of well-known theoretical and practical problems. The book also discusses the use of software packages, which can be used to work optimization models without the fuss of higher math and complex solution methods. The authors draw from their experience in applying these techniques to practical problem solving and for dealing with implementation difficulties most likely to be encountered.

Developed as a guide for practitioners and as a textbook for upperlevel courses in risk analysis, this book presents an engineering approach to probabilistic risk analysis (PRA). It particularly emphasizes methods for comprehensive PRA studies, including techniques for risk management. The book requires no prior knowledge of risk analysis and provides the necessary mathematical and engineering foundations. It relies heavily on, but is not limited to, examples from the nuclear industry, since that is where PRA techniques were first developed. Since PRA provides a best-estimate approach, the author pays special attention to explaining uncertainty characterization.

The methodology used to construct tree structured rules is the focus of this book. Unlike many other statistical procedures, which moved from pencil and paper to calculators, this text’s use of trees was unthinkable before computers. Both the practical and theoretical sides have been developed in the authors’ study of tree methods. The book covers the use of trees as a data analysis method and in a more mathematical framework, proving some of their fundamental properties. Topics covered include an introduction to tree classification, right-sized trees and honest estimates, splitting rules, and mass spectra classification.

This book introduces a unified representation—the generalized regression model—of various types of regression models, including the general linear, nonlinear regression, generalized linear, logistic regression, Poisson regression, multinomial regression, and Cox regression models. It also uses a likelihood-based approach for performing statistical inference from statistical evidence consisting of data and its statistical model. The book includes restricted versions of Mathematica® and the author’s own Statistical Inference Package (SIP) on DVD. The author also supplies the SIP and R code for several likelihood-based inference examples online.

Generalized Linear, Mixed Effects and Nonparametric Regression Models

Textbook

Julian J. Faraway

Nalini Ravishanker and Dipak K. Dey

Series: Chapman & Hall/CRC Texts in Statistical Science

Linear models form the foundation of a vast range of statistical methodologies. Following in the footsteps of the author’s critically acclaimed Linear Models with R, this book surveys the techniques that grow from the regression model, presenting three extensions to that framework: generalized linear models, mixed effect models, and nonparametric regression models. It provides a well-stocked toolbox of methodologies and with its unique presentation of these very modern statistical techniques, holds the potential to break new ground in the way graduate-level courses in this area are taught.

This innovative statistics text presents the theory of linear statistical models at a level appropriate for senior undergraduate or firstyear graduate students. It systematically presents the basic theory behind linear statistical models with motivation from an algebraic as well as a geometric perspective. Through the concepts and tools of matrix and linear algebra and distribution theory, the text provides a framework for understanding classical and contemporary linear model theory. Going beyond formulas, it develops the art of statistical thinking and inspires learning at an intuitive level by emphasizing conceptual understanding.

Generalized Additive Models T.J. Hastie and R.J. Tibshirani Stanford University, California, USA

Donald C. Weber and John H. Skillings

Series: Monographs on Statistics and Applied Probability

A First Course in the Design of Experiments presents theory and methods, emphasizes both design selection and the analysis of data, and integrates the analysis for the various designs with the general theory for linear models. The authors cover the theoretical results, the various design models, and the analytical concepts that provide the techniques that enable readers to analyze virtually any design. Rife with examples and exercises, the text encourages the use of computers to analyze data. The authors use the SAS software package throughout the book but also demonstrate how any regression program can be used.

Generalized Additive Models describes an array of power tools for data analysis that are based on nonparametric regression and smoothing techniques. These methods relax the linear assumption of many standard models and allow analysts to uncover structure in the data that might otherwise have been missed. The book enhances the extension of the usual linear methodology even further by incorporating the flexibility of nonparametric regression. Clear prose, exercises in each chapter, and case studies augment this popular text.

Generalized Additive Models imparts a thorough understanding of the theory and practical applications of GAMs and related advanced models, enabling informed use of these flexible tools. Taking an approach based on a framework of penalized regression splines, the author builds the necessary foundation through motivating chapters on linear and generalized linear models. Use of the freely available R software helps explain the theory and illustrates the practicalities of linear, generalized linear, and generalized additive models, as well as their mixed effect extensions. An R package containing the featured data sets is freely available online.

This work unifies and extends latent variable models, including multilevel or generalized linear mixed models, longitudinal or panel models, item response or factor models, latent class or finite mixture models, and structural equation models. Following a gentle introduction to latent variable modeling, the authors clearly explain a wide range of estimation and prediction methods. Exciting, realistic applications demonstrate how latent variable modeling can be used to solve problems in areas as diverse as medicine, economics, and psychology. Numerous displays, figures, and graphs make the text vivid and easy to read.

Series: Monographs on Statistics and Applied Probability

Series: Chapman & Hall/CRC Texts in Statistical Science

A computer-based method of statistical inference, bootstrapping answers statistical questions without formulas and gives a direct appreciation of variance, bias, coverage, and other probabilistic phenomena. An Introduction to the Bootstrap arms scientists, engineers, and statisticians with the computational techniques they need to analyze and understand complicated data sets. It presents an overview of the bootstrap and related methods for assessing statistical accuracy, concentrating on the ideas rather than their mathematical justification. Not just for beginners, the book starts off slowly and then builds in both scope and depth to ideas that are quite sophisticated.

Since the mathematics behind generalized linear models is often difficult to follow while the mathematics behind general linear models is well understood, this text describes the methodology behind both models in a parallel setup. After introducing a likelihood framework that is sufficient to cover both approaches, the authors present general linear models, including analysis of covariance, before moving on to more complicated generalized linear models using the same likelihood-based approach. Numerous simulated and real-world examples, implemented using R and SAS, illustrate the methods discussed. The text also provides exercises to further develop understanding.

Series: Chapman & Hall/CRC Texts in Statistical Science

In time series analysis, the state space model provides a unified method of flexible modeling for analyzing, modeling, state estimation, and parameter estimation. This book presents a modelbased method of analyzing, predicting, and simulating time series with various characteristics. Real data sets in economics, finance, seismology, meteorology, and ship engineering are used as examples of the analysis. The author emphasizes the unified use of the state space model, smoothing, and the information criterion AIC for model evaluation.

In the first book that directly uses R to teach data analysis, this text focuses on the practice of regression and ANOVA. It clearly demonstrates the different methods available and, more importantly, in which situations each one applies. It covers all of the standard topics, from the basics of estimation to missing data, factorial designs, and block designs. The text also includes discussion on topics, such as model uncertainty, rarely addressed in books of this type. The presentation incorporates an abundance of examples that clarify both the use of each technique and the conclusions one can draw from the results. All of the data sets used in the book are available for download from the Internet.

Nonlinear Time Series focuses on various semiparametric methods in model estimation, specification testing, and selection of time series data. After a brief introduction, the book examines semiparametric estimation and specification methods and then applies these approaches to a class of nonlinear continuous-time models with real-world data. It also assesses some newly proposed semiparametric estimation procedures for time series data with long-range dependence. Even though the book only deals with climatological and financial data, the estimation and specifications methods discussed can be applied to models with real-world data in many disciplines.

This book describes the basic development of observed confidence levels for a variety of common multiple testing problems in statistical inference. It compares the use of observed confidence levels with other statistical methodologies, such as multiple comparison and posterior probabilities, and includes many practical examples from the fields of engineering, biology, and medicine as well as exercises at the end of each chapter. The author also discusses how observed confidence levels can be computed using R and offers a website with many of the data sets and R code used in the book as well as links to relevant references and news about current applications of observed confidence levels.

With the revolutionary explosion of genetic information in recent decades, it is important to realize the underlying limitations of scientific predictions in genetics. Avoiding unnecessary technical details, this book helps readers accept and embrace a probabilistic view and understand the role of randomness in critical biological processes. It explores the nature of genetic uncertainty from different points of view and at different levels of biological organization. The book also traces the origin of some ideas of randomness starting from the basics of quantum mechanics and molecular genetics to modern evolutionary genetics and the philosophy of mathematics.

The Handbook of Computational Molecular Biology offers a comprehensive, systematic treatment of computational biology, from the most basic concepts to advanced applications. Algorithmic in nature, the handbook highlights applications to molecular biology through every topic covered. In addition, many of the newer topics in the field are covered in depth, like microarrays, comparative genomics and external memory algorithms, and parallel methods. Written by experts in the field, it covers problems related to understanding genetic diseases, the design of drugs tailored to the individual, deciphering the genomes of specific organisms, and understanding the process of evolution.

Chemometric Techniques for Quantitative Analysis

D.G. Johnson

Richard Kramer

Business students and professionals need the ability to think statistically about how to deal with uncertainty and its effect on decision making in management and commerce. Traditional statistics texts tend to focus on probability, mathematical detail, and heavy computation, and thus fail to meet the needs of future business managers. Statistical Thinking in Business provides an introductory course in business statistics for those with little mathematical background. This new edition removes the workbook approach to make room for more material with greater emphasis on forecasting and time series. A supporting website provides a wealth of supplemental materials.

Chemometric Techniques for Quantitative Analysis shows how to produce and use quantitative analytical calibrations in a laboratory or production environment. It also demonstrates how to estimate the time and resources needed to develop analytical calibrations and how to employ the quantitative software provided with a wide range of instruments and commercial software packages.

Financial Justification of Nondestructive Testing

Cost of Quality in Manufacturing Emmanuel P. Papadakis

Enrique del Castillo

Pennsylvania State University, University Park, USA

Quality Systems Concepts, Inc., New Holland, Pennsylvania, USA

This reference presents a state-of-the-art survey of the applications of Bayesian statistics in process monitoring, control, and optimization. Addressing challenges faced by engineers, the book adopts Bayesian approaches for actual industrial practices. It solves these problems through modern computational techniques, such as MCMC and other Monte Carlo simulation-based approaches. The book illustrates MCMC with the variance component model, using WinBUGS and CODA. The authors also explore the advantages and the disadvantages of Bayesian techniques and frequentist approaches. Additional coverage includes inferential problems and response surface methods.

Demonstrating how to apply financial formulas to prove or disprove the utility of 100% nondestructive testing (NDT), this book helps readers build the financial case for their NDT projects. It not only explains how 100% inspection by high-tech methods can save money for a manufacturing organization, but also how to justify this cost. Providing examples of successful NDT implementation drawn from factory situations, the author describes high-tech inspection technology in the context of modern ISO quality standards, TQM theory, and statistical process control. Placing NDT in the historical context of quality and inspection, the book provides three methods of calculation for proving its validity.
