English | 2006 | pages: 200 | ISBN: 0801884403, 080188439X | PDF | 2,8 mb
Leo Strauss’s controversial writings have long exercised a profound subterranean cultural influence. Now their impact is emerging into broad daylight, where they have been met with a flurry of poorly informed, often wildly speculative, and sometimes rather paranoid pronouncements.

Introduction to the Statistics of Poisson Processes and Applications


Free Download Introduction to the Statistics of Poisson Processes and Applications by Yury A. Kutoyants
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 683 Pages | ISBN : 3031370538 | 78.3 MB
This book covers an extensive class of models involving inhomogeneous Poisson processes and deals with their identification, i.e. the solution of certain estimation or hypothesis testing problems based on the given dataset. These processes are mathematically easy-to-handle and appear in numerous disciplines, including astronomy, biology, ecology, geology, seismology, medicine, physics, statistical mechanics, economics, image processing, forestry, telecommunications, insurance and finance, reliability, queuing theory, wireless networks, and localisation of sources.

Introduction to the Mori Program


Free Download Kenji Matsuki, "Introduction to the Mori Program"
English | 2002 | pages: 501 | ISBN: 1441931252, 0387984658 | PDF | 34,9 mb
Mori’s Program is a fusion of the so-called Minimal Model Program and the IItaka Program toward the biregular and/or birational classification of higher dimensional algebraic varieties. The author presents this theory in an easy and understandable way with lots of background motivation. Prerequisites are those covered in Hartshorne’s book "Algebraic Geometry." This is the first book in this extremely important and active field of research and will become a key resource for graduate students wanting to get into the area.

Introduction to Time Series and Forecasting


Free Download Introduction to Time Series and Forecasting by Peter J. Brockwell, Richard A. Davis
English | PDF | 2002 | 443 Pages | ISBN : 1475777507 | 48.2 MB
Some of the key mathematical results are stated without proof in order to make the underlying theory accessible to a wider audience. The book assumes a knowledge only of basic calculus, matrix algebra, and elementary statistics. The emphasis is on methods and the analysis of data sets. The logic and tools of model-building for stationary and nonstationary time series are developed in detail and numerous exercises, many of which make use of the included computer package, provide the reader with ample opportunity to develop skills in this area.

Introduction to Multivariate Analysis


Free Download Introduction to Multivariate Analysis by Christopher Chatfield , Alexander J. Collins
English | PDF | 1980 | 249 Pages | ISBN : 0412160307 | 22.3 MB
This book provides an introduction to the analysis of multivariate data. It should be suitable for statisticians and other research workers who are familiar with basic probability theory and elementary inference, and also have a basic grounding in matrix algebra. The book should also be suitable as a text for undergraduate and postgraduate statistics courses on multivariate analysis. The book covers a wider range oftopics than some other books in this area. It deals with preliminary data analysis, principal component and factor analysis and traditional normal-theory material. It also covers cluster analysis and scaling techniques. In writing the book, we have tried to provide a reasonable blend of theory and practice, in contrast to much of the existing literature which concentrates on one or other aspect. Enough theory is given to introduce the concepts and to make the topics mathematically interesting. But we also discuss the use (and misuse) of the techniques in practice and present appropriate real-life examples. Although the book is primarily an introductory text, we have nevertheless added appropriate references for further reading, so that the reader may extend his studies if he wishes.
