Nonparametric Statistical Methods For Complete and Censored
Data
ISBN: 1-58488-319-7
Publication Date: 6/6/2003
Number of Pages: 352
Introduces and develops the commonly used nonparametric
statistical methodologies for the analysis of censored and
uncensored data
Discusses nonparametric correlation and regression methods and
methods for data analysis using random samples
Includes discussions on clinical equivalence with binary data
Presents techniques valuable to the pharmaceutical industry and
to psychology and social scientists Illustrates calculations
using SAS and makes the code available for download from the
Internet
Balancing the "cookbook" approach of some texts with
the mathematical approach of others, this book introduces and
develops some of the commonly used techniques of nonparametric
statistics that are particularly important in biostatistics and
the social sciences. The presentation is organized in relation to
one, two, and multi-sample problems and includes discussions on
correlation and regression methods and clinical equivalence with
binary data. To make the material more accessible and practical,
the authors use SAS to illustrate the calculations and present
the mathematical details in appendices within each chapter. To
help with problem solving, SAS code is presented both within the
book and on the Internet.

Presents an comprehensive review of the interobserver agreement
approach to assessing the reliability of a rating system
Provides direction and standards for conducting clinical and
other types of studies
Provides numerous examples of applications and includes an
extensive review of the literature
Includes a chapter on the reliability of continuous measurements
Supplies SAS code for problem solving both within the book and on
the CRC Web site
Measuring interobserver agreement is a method used to evaluate
inconsistencies in findings from different evaluators who collect
basically the same information. Emphasizing applications over
theory, this book provides a comprehensive survey of this method
and provides readers with standards and directions on how to run
sound clinical and other types of studies. The author clearly
explains how to reduce measurement error and presents numerous
practical examples of the interobserver agreement approach. To
help with problem solving, the treatment includes SAS code, both
within the book and on the CRC Web site. An extensive review of
the literature provides access to the latest development in the
field.

Presents elliptic curves at a very basic
level for those who want
to learn about their applications to cryptography
Provides cryptographic algorithms show readers
how the elliptic
curve works in cryptography
Includes applications such as the discrete
log problem, Pollard
Cryptosystem, Diffie-Hellman, and ElGamal
public key and
signature
Presents number theoretic topics to make
the book more appealing
to the mathematician
Covers elliptic curves over the rationals,
the complex numbers,
complex multiplication, and zeta functions
Introduces cryptographic topics early on
in the book to make it
more accessible to a broader audience
Written by a well-known number theorist with
extensive
cryptographic background, this book interweaves
the theory of
elliptic curves with their applications,
particularly to
cryptography. These applications include
the discrete log
problem, Pollard Cryptosystem, Diffie-Hellman,
and ElGamal public
key and signature. It also includes many
applications to
factorization, primality testing, and diophantine
equations. By
avoiding technicalities, the book makes cryptographic
algorithms
accessible to a large audience, including
senior-level
undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics
and computer
science.

Examines the application of data analysis
methods to data mining
and knowledge discovery
Identifies applications of data mining and
knowledge discovery in
practices such as market segmentation, image
and speech analysis,
and fraud detection
Explores the application of data mining and
knowledge discovery
to E-Commerce
Features a chapter by David Hand on the principles
and ethics of
data mining
A carefully edited collection of contributions
from international
experts such as David Hand, Stephen Fienberg,
and Andreas
Wiegand, this book explores a variety of
topics related to
applying data analysis methods to data mining
and knowledge
discovery--fields of rapidly increasing interest
and importance.
With special focus on E-commerce, it examines
the practical
applications of these processes in areas
such as market
segmentation, customer profiling, image and
speech analysis, and
fraud detection and offers a multidisciplinary
perspective
through research from diverse areas, including
computer science,
statistics, artificial intelligence, financial
engineering, and
medicine.

Covers both the theoretical and practical aspects of the subject
needed by readers planning to do thorough analyses
Provides broad coverage that gives readers a brief introduction
and references to many topics
Makes available on the Internet all data used in the book
Offers a well-polished presentation, continually refined through
five previous editions
Includes new US datasets that broaden the book's appeal in North
America
Now in its sixth edition, this book provides an accessible,
comprehensive introduction to the theory and practice of time
series analysis. It covers a wide range of topics, including
ARIMA probability models, forecasting methods, spectral analysis,
linear systems, state-space models, and the Kalman filter. It
also addresses nonlinear models and multivariate models,
wavelets, and long-memory models. Building on the success of
earlier editions, the sixth edition has been thoroughly revised
and updated, and all of the data sets will be available for
download from the Internet. Its polished presentation and broad
coverage make this simply the best introductory text available on
the subject.
