Distribution Theory for Tests Based on Sample Distribution Function
AvJ. Durbin
Häftad, Engelska, 1987
570 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Presents a coherent body of theory for the derivation of the sampling distributions of a wide range of test statistics. Emphasis is on the development of practical techniques. A unified treatment of the theory was attempted, e.g., the author sought to relate the derivations for tests on the circle and the two-sample problem to the basic theory for the one-sample problem on the line. The Markovian nature of the sample distribution function is stressed, as it accounts for the elegance of many of the results achieved, as well as the close relation with parts of the theory of stochastic processes.

Results and problems in the modern theory of best approximation, in which the methods of functional analysis are applied in a consequent manner. This modern theory constitutes both a unified foundation for the classical theory of best approximation and a powerful tool for obtaining new results.
Variational Methods for Eigenvalue Approximation
AvHans F. Weinberger
Häftad, Engelska, 1987
831 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Provides a common setting for various methods of bounding the eigenvalues of a self-adjoint linear operator and emphasizes their relationships. A mapping principle is presented to connect many of the methods. The eigenvalue problems studied are linear, and linearization is shown to give important information about nonlinear problems. Linear vector spaces and their properties are used to uniformly describe the eigenvalue problems presented that involve matrices, ordinary or partial differential operators, and integro-differential operators.

Mathematical Theories of Populations
Demographics, Genetics and Epidemics
AvFrank Hoppensteadt
Häftad, Engelska, 1987
611 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Mathematical theories of populations have appeared both implicitly and explicitly in many important studies of populations, human populations as well as populations of animals, cells and viruses. They provide a systematic way for studying a population's underlying structure.In this book, a basic model in population age structure is studied and then applied, extended and modified, to several population phenomena such as stable age distributions, self-limiting effects, and two-sex populations. Population genetics are studied with special attention to derivation and analysis of a model for a one-locus, two-allele trait in a large randomly mating population. The dynamics of contagious phenomena in a population are studied in the context of epidemic diseases.
Improperly Posed Problems in Partial Differential Equations
AvL.E. Payne
Häftad, Engelska, 1987
611 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Improperly-posed Cauchy problems are the primary topics in this discussion which assumes that the geometry and coefficients of the equations are known precisely. Appropriate references are made to other classes of improperly posed problems. The contents include straight forward examples of methods eigenfunction, quasireversibility, logarithmic convexity, Lagrange identity, and weighted energy used in treating improperly posed Cauchy problems. The Cauchy problem for a class of second order operator equations is examined as is the question of determining explicit stability inequalities for solving the Cauchy problem for elliptic equations. Among other things, an example with improperly posed perturbed and unperturbed problems is discussed and concavity methods are used to investigate finite escape time for classes of operator equations.

Nonlinear Renewal Theory in Sequential Analysis
AvMichael Woodroffe
Häftad, Engelska, 1982
776 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
The global approach to nonlinear renewal theory is integrated with the author's own local approach. Both the theory and its applications are placed in perspective by including a discussion of the linear renewal theorem and its applications to the sequential probability ratio test. Applications to repeated significance tests, to tests with power one, and to sequential estimation are also included. The monograph is self-contained for readers with a working knowledge of measure-theoretic probability and intermediate statistical theory.
