Synopsis
Other volumes in the Wiley Series in Probability and Mathematical Statistics Abstract Inference UIf Grenander The traditional setting of statistical inference is when both sample space and parameter space are finite dimensional Euclidean spaces or subjects of such spaces. During the last decades, however, a theory has been developed that allows the sample space to be some abstract space. More recently, mathematical techniques-especially the method of sieves-have been constructed to enable inferences to be made in abstract parameter spaces. This work began with the author's 1950 monograph on inference in stochastic processes (for general sample space) and with the sieve methodology (for general parameter space) that the author and his co-workers at Brown University developed in the 1970s. Both of these cases are studied in this volume, which is the first comprehensive treatment of the subject. 1980 Order Statistics, 2nd Ed. Herbert A. David Presents up-to-date coverage of the theory and applications of ordered random variables and their functions. Develops the distribution theory of order statistics systematically, and treats short-cut methods, robust estimation, life testing, reliability, and extreme-value theory. Applications include procedures for the treatment of outliers and other data analysis techniques. Provides extensive references to the literature and the tables contained therein. Exercises included. 1980 Theory and Applications of Stochastic Differential Equations Zeev Schuss Presents SDE theory through its applications in the physical sciences, e.g., the description of chemical reactions, solid state diffusion and electrical conductivity, population genetics, filtering problems in communication theory, etc. Introduces the stochastic calculus in a simple way, presupposing only basic analysis and probability theory. Shows the role of first passage times and exit distributions in modeling physical phenomena. Introduces analytical methods in order to obtain information on probabilistic quantities such as moments and distribution of first passage times and transition probabilities, and demonstrates the role of partial differential equations. Methods include singular perturbation techniques, old and new asymptotic methods, and boundary layer theory. 1980, The first systematic, booklength treatment of the subject. Begins with a general introduction and the formal mathematical background behind qualitative and quantitative robustness. Stresses concepts. Provides selected numerical algorithms for computing robust estimates, as well as convergence proofs. Tables contain quantitative robustness information for a variety of estimates., The first systematic, book-length treatment of the subject.

    Unfortunately I received a damaged book, the item and the package both were damaged and it was clearly evident its appearance that it happened during transit. The seller was very understanding and gave me a full refund for the damaged book, though it was no fault of their own. Other than the damage, the book was as described, the quality and condition aside from the damaged spot was like new. The cost of the book was reasonable. I would definitely purchase from the seller again.

    Although this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.

    I recently purchased an item from this eBay seller, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the prompt communication to the fast shipping, everything was handled with utmost professionalism. The item arrived exactly as described and was well-packaged to ensure its safety during transit. The seller was courteous and responsive, making the entire transaction smooth and hassle-free. I highly recommend this seller to anyone looking for quality products and excellent service.
