Book Description: This volume is devoted to Sample Surveys, which is the most widely used method in statistical practice. It covers many theoretical and practical aspects of social and biological investigations, and is a valuable guide for those involved in designing sample surveys.

Book Description: In this volume prominent workers in the field discuss various time series methods in the time domain. The topics included are autoregressive-moving average models, control, estimation, identification, model selection, non-linear time series, non-stationary time series, prediction, robustness, sampling designs, signal attenuation, and speech recognition. This volume complements Handbook of Statistics 3: Time Series in the Frequency Domain.

Book Description: Prominent statisticians discuss in this volume, the general methodological aspects of nonparametric methods, and applications, in a logically integrated and systematic form. The topics covered include biological assays, cancer research, categorical data analysis, clinical trials, empirical distributions, estimation procedures, life testing and reliability, linear models, meteorological applications, order statistics, robustness, sequential methods, statistical tables, and time series.

Book Description: This volume of the Handbook is concerned particularly with the frequency side, or spectrum, approach to time series analysis. This approach involves essential use of sinusoids and bands of (angular) frequency, with Fourier transforms playing an important role. A principal activity is thinking of systems, their inputs, outputs, and behavior in sinusoidal terms. In many cases, the frequency side approach turns out to be simpler with respect to computational, mathematical, and statistical aspects. In the frequency approach, an assumption of stationarity is commonly made. However, the essential roles played by the techniques of complex demodulation and seasonal adjustment show that stationarity is far from being a necessary condition. Assumptions of Gaussianity and linearity are also commonly made and yet, as a variety of the papers illustrate, these assumptions are not necessary.

Book Description: Papers included in this volume deal with discriminant analysis, clustering techniques and software, multidimensional scaling, statistical, linguistic and artificial intelligence models and methods for pattern recognition and some of their applications. Further examined are the selection of subsets of variables for allocation and discrimination, and reviews of some paradoxes and open questions in the areas of variable selection, dimensionality, sample size and error estimation.

Book Description: This first volume in the series is devoted to the area of analysis of variance (ANOVA), which was developed by R.A. Fischer and others, and has emerged as a very important branch of statistics. The most useful techniques in univariate and multivariate ANOVA are covered in this volume. The chapters are written by prominent workers in the field for persons who are not specialists on the topic. The volume is of value to the whole statistics community, as well as to scientists in other disciplines who are interested in statistical methodology. The volume is dedicated to the memory of the late Henry Scheffé.

Book Description:Hardbound. The main purpose of this volume is the dissemination of statistical methodologies in the area of biological and medical sciences. The chapters are written by specialists with considerable experience in the application of statistical techniques for investigating biological and medical issues. Biological as well as statistical readers will benefit from this exposition.
