Statistical Distributions

Autor: Nick T. Thomopoulos

Número de Páginas: 176

This book gives a description of the group of statistical distributions that have ample application to studies in statistics and probability. Understanding statistical distributions is fundamental for researchers in almost all disciplines. The informed researcher will select the statistical distribution that best fits the data in the study at hand. Some of the distributions are well known to the general researcher and are in use in a wide variety of ways. Other useful distributions are less understood and are not in common use. The book describes when and how to apply each of the distributions in research studies, with a goal to identify the distribution that best applies to the study. The distributions are for continuous, discrete, and bivariate random variables. In most studies, the parameter values are not known a priori, and sample data is needed to estimate parameter values. In other scenarios, no sample data is available, and the researcher seeks some insight that allows the estimate of the parameter values to be gained. This handbook of statistical distributions provides a working knowledge of applying common and uncommon statistical distributions in research studies. These ...

Los siete pilares de la sabiduría estadística

Autor: Stephen M. Stigler

Número de Páginas: 229

La estadística está en todas partes: en las calificaciones de la escuela, en las encuestas que aspiran a anticipar un resultado electoral, en el descubrimiento de nuevas partículas elementales. Pero, ¿qué tiene de singular esta disciplina? Stephen M. Stigler propone que la sabiduría estadística se apoya en siete grandes pilares conceptuales que han ido madurando con el paso de los siglos y han contribuido a que hoy sea, por méritos propios, una ciencia versátil y rigurosa. Mediante el recuento de situaciones clave, la presentación de ideas que en su momento fueron revolucionarias y el retrato de algunos pensadores audaces, Stigler describe cómo al desechar parte de los datos en realidad podemos describirlos mejor, cómo aumenta la información cuando crece el número de observaciones, cómo se ha usado la probabilidad para cuantificar la precisión de una medida, cómo la variación interna de los datos puede ser suficiente para estudiarlos, cómo lo ya observado permite imaginar lo que aún no ocurre, cómo los procesos aleatorios pueden ser una magnífica herramienta y cómo se han desarrollado ciertos modelos teóricos para explicar todo tipo de fenómenos. El lector ...

Randomization Tests, Fourth Edition

Autor: Eugene Edgington , Patrick Onghena

Número de Páginas: 372

The number of innovative applications of randomization tests in various fields and recent developments in experimental design, significance testing, computing facilities, and randomization test algorithms have necessitated a new edition of Randomization Tests.

Mathematical Statistics With Applications

Autor: Asha Seth Kapadia , Wenyaw Chan , Lemuel A. Moyé

Número de Páginas: 644

Mathematical statistics typically represents one of the most difficult challenges in statistics, particularly for those with more applied, rather than mathematical, interests and backgrounds. Most textbooks on the subject provide little or no review of the advanced calculus topics upon which much of mathematical statistics relies and furthermore contain material that is wholly theoretical, thus presenting even greater challenges to those interested in applying advanced statistics to a specific area. Mathematical Statistics with Applications presents the background concepts and builds the technical sophistication needed to move on to more advanced studies in multivariate analysis, decision theory, stochastic processes, or computational statistics. Applications embedded within theoretical discussions clearly demonstrate the utility of the theory in a useful and relevant field of application and allow readers to avoid sudden exposure to purely theoretical materials. With its clear explanations and more than usual emphasis on applications and computation, this text reaches out to the many students and professionals more interested in the practical use of statistics to enrich their...

Bayesian Model Selection and Statistical Modeling

Autor: Tomohiro Ando

Número de Páginas: 300

Along with many practical applications, Bayesian Model Selection and Statistical Modeling presents an array of Bayesian inference and model selection procedures. It thoroughly explains the concepts, illustrates the derivations of various Bayesian model selection criteria through examples, and provides R code for implementation. The author shows how to implement a variety of Bayesian inference using R and sampling methods, such as Markov chain Monte Carlo. He covers the different types of simulation-based Bayesian model selection criteria, including the numerical calculation of Bayes factors, the Bayesian predictive information criterion, and the deviance information criterion. He also provides a theoretical basis for the analysis of these criteria. In addition, the author discusses how Bayesian model averaging can simultaneously treat both model and parameter uncertainties. Selecting and constructing the appropriate statistical model significantly affect the quality of results in decision making, forecasting, stochastic structure explorations, and other problems. Helping you choose the right Bayesian model, this book focuses on the framework for Bayesian model selection and...

Número de Páginas: 299

Today, engineering systems are an important element of the world economy and each year billions of dollars are spent to develop, manufacture, operate, and maintain various types of engineering systems around the globe. Many of these systems are highly sophisticated and contain millions of parts. For example, a Boeing jumbo 747 is made up of approximately 4.5 million parts including fasteners. Needless to say, reliability, safety, and maintenance of systems such as this have become more important than ever before. Global competition and other factors are forcing manufacturers to produce highly reliable, safe, and maintainable engineering products. Therefore, there is a definite need for the reliability, safety, and maintenance professionals to work closely during design and other phases. Engineering Systems Reliability, Safety, and Maintenance: An Integrated Approach eliminates the need to consult many different and diverse sources in the hunt for the information required to design better engineering systems.
