Presents techniques and approaches for the statistical analysis of heavy-tailed distributions and processes, with a focus on applicability rather than theory. Emphasis is placed upon numerical problems associated with stable distributions, time series analysis and regression.

The study of the ocean is almost as old as the history of mankind itself. When the first seafarers set out in their primitive ships they had to understand, as best they could, tides and currents, eddies and vortices, for lack of understanding often led to loss of live. These primitive oceanographers were, of course, primarily statisticians. They collected what empirical data they could, and passed it down, ini tially by word of mouth, to their descendants. Data collection continued throughout the millenia, and although data bases became larger, more re liable, and better codified, it was not really until surprisingly recently that mankind began to try to understand the physics behind these data, and, shortly afterwards, to attempt to model it. The basic modelling tool of physical oceanography is, today, the partial differential equation. Somehow, we all ''know" that if only we could find the right set of equations, with the right initial and boundary conditions, then we could solve the mysteries of ocean dynamics once and for all.

These notes, based on lectures delivered in Saint Flour, provide an easy introduction to the authors’ 2007 Springer monograph “Random Fields and Geometry.” While not as exhaustive as the full monograph, they are also less exhausting, while still covering the basic material, typically at a more intuitive and less technical level. They also cover some more recent material relating to random algebraic topology and statistical applications. The notes include an introduction to the general theory of Gaussian random fields, treating classical topics such as continuity and boundedness. This is followed by a quick review of geometry, both integral and Riemannian, with an emphasis on tube formulae, to provide the reader with the material needed to understand and use the Gaussian kinematic formula, the main result of the notes. This is followed by chapters on topological inference and random algebraic topology, both of which provide applications of the main results.

Was erlebt man als Pfleger tagtäglich in einem Altenpflegeheim? Seit 19 Monaten ist Robert Adler als Betreuer in einem Seniorenzentrum angestellt und erlebt dort sehr unterhaltsame und lustige, aber auch sehr berührende Momente. Ob philosophisch, soziologisch oder psychologisch betrachtet – die Erfahrungen, die er in seiner Arbeit macht, sind auf vielen Ebenen spannend, lehrreich und interessant. Adler hat die besten Geschichten und Anekdoten für dieses Buch aufgezeichnet.Mit gemeinsamen Gesprächen, Spielen, Aktivitäten und Spaziergängen versucht Robert jeden Tag, die Seniorinnen und Senioren zu beschäftigen und aufzumuntern. Dabei erlebt er auch viel Skurriles und bekommt so manches erzählt, das er für dieses Buch zusammengetragen und festgehalten hat.Trotz der ständigen Konfrontation mit Themen, mit denen wir uns alle früher oder später auseinandersetzen müssen – Älterwerden, Altersdepression, Vergänglichkeit, Schmerz, Leiden, Krankheit, Tod, Abschied, Trauerverarbeitung etc. –, gibt es immer wieder sehr komische Erlebnisse, die jeden Arbeitsalltag zum neuen Highlight machen. Schwarzhumorige Konversationen, Stofftiere, die für lebendig gehalten werden, eine ehemalige Ballerina, die täglich im Bademantel durch die Gänge tanzt, eine Bewohnerin, die sich für eine Gräfin hält … Die alten Menschen gewähren dem jungen Pfleger Einlass in ihre Welt. Es sind faszinierende, wahre Lebensgeschichten, die jeden Tag erzählt werden und beweisen, dass das Leben bizarrere Geschichten schreibt als jede Art von Fiktion.
