Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Quantile-Based Reliability Analysis presents a novel approach to reliability theory using quantile functions in contrast to the traditional approach based on distribution functions. Quantile functions and distribution functions are mathematically equivalent ways to define a probability distribution. However, quantile functions have several advantages over distribution functions. First, many data sets with non-elementary distribution functions can be modeled by quantile functions with simple forms. Second, most quantile functions approximate many of the standard models in reliability analysis quite well. Consequently, if physical conditions do not suggest a plausible model, an arbitrary quantile function will be a good first approximation. Finally, the inference procedures for quantile models need less information and are more robust to outliers. Quantile-Based Reliability Analysis's innovative methodology is laid out in a well-organized sequence of topics, including: Definitions and properties of reliability concepts in terms of quantile functions; Ageing concepts and their interrelationships; Total time on test transforms; L-moments of residual life; Score and tail exponent functions and relevant applications; Modeling problems and stochastic orders connecting quantile-based reliability functions. An ideal text for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in reliability and statistics, Quantile-Based Reliability Analysis also contains many unique topics for study and research in survival analysis, engineering, economics, and the medical sciences. In addition, its illuminating discussion of the general theory of quantile functions is germane to many contexts involving statistical analysis.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Mathematics in the Real World is a self-contained, accessible introduction to the world of mathematics for non-technical majors. With a focus on everyday applications and context, the topics in this textbook build in difficulty and are presented sequentially, starting with a brief review of sets and numbersfollowed by an introduction to elementary statistics, models, and graph theory. Data and identification numbers are then covered, providing the pathway to voting and finance. Each subject is covered in a concise and clear fashion through the use of real-world applications and the introduction of relevant terminology. Many sample problems ¿ both writing exercises and multiple-choice questions ¿ are included to help develop students¿ level of understanding and to offer a variety of options to instructors.Covering six major units and outlining a one-semester course, Mathematics in the Real World is aimed at undergraduate liberal art students fulfilling the mathematics requirement in their degree program. This introductory text will be an excellent resource for such courses, and will show students where mathematics arises in their everyday lives.Springer Nature c/o IBS, Benzstrasse 21, 48619 Heek 288 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Magic squares are among the more popular mathematical recreations. Over the last 50 years, many generalizations of ¿magic¿ ideas have been applied to graphs. Recently there has been a resurgence of interest in ¿magic labelings¿ due to a number of results that have applications to the problem of decomposing graphs into trees.Key features of this second edition include: a new chapter on magic labeling of directed graphs applications of theorems from graph theory and interesting counting arguments new research problems and exercises covering a range of difficulties a fully updated bibliography and indexThis concise, self-contained exposition is unique in its focus on the theory of magic graphs/labelings. It may serve as a graduate or advanced undergraduate text for courses in mathematics or computer science, and as reference for the researcher.Springer Nature c/o IBS, Benzstrasse 21, 48619 Heek 204 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -Contingency tables arise in diverse fields, including life sciences, education, social and political sciences, notably market research and opinion surveys. Their analysis plays an essential role in gaining insight into structures of the quantities under consideration and in supporting decision making. Combining both theory and applications, this book presents models and methods for the analysis of two- and multidimensional-contingency tables.An excellent reference for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and practitioners in statistics as well as biosciences, social sciences, education, and economics, the work may also be used as a textbook for a course on categorical data analysis. Prerequisites include basic background on statistical inference and knowledge of statistical software packages.Springer Nature c/o IBS, Benzstrasse 21, 48619 Heek 324 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This book provides a fresh approach to reliability theory, an area that has gained increasing relevance in fields from statistics and engineering to demography and insurance. Its innovative use of quantile functions gives an analysis of lifetime data that is generally simpler, more robust, and more accurate than the traditional methods, and opens the door for further research in a wide variety of fields involving statistical analysis.
