Description
On September 10 to 14, 2002, a Scientific
Conference on "Hyperbolic
Problems and Related Topics" was held
at the" Palazzone"
in Cortona under the auspices of Instituto
Nazionale di AIta
Matematica "Francesco Severi" of
Roma.
Three courses were given: by Serge Alinhac
on blowup at infinity
for quasi-linear Wave equations, by Jean-Michel
Bony on
microlocal analysis applied to evolution
equations, and by Luc
Robbiano and Claude Zuily on analytic scattering
wave front set
and applications to Schrodinger equation.
Lectures in a variety of topics were also
given. They include:
the Cauchy problem for strictly or weakly
hyperbolic operators
and their applications; semilinear, quasilinear
or fully
nonlinear equations; the Navier-Stokes and
Schrodinger equations.
Other topics discussed were the Sine-Gordon
Hierarchy,
oscillatory integrals and unique continuation
problems, local
solvability for differential or pseudodifferential
operators,
lower bounds of pseudodifferential systems.
The most frequently
occurring theme was perhaps the use of microlocal
analysis, which
is now a cornerstone in the study of linear
and also nonlinear
equations.

Praise for the First Edition of Design and
Analysis of Clinical
Trials
"An excellent book, providing a discussion
of the clinical
trial process from designing the study through
analyzing the
data, and to regulatory requirement . . .
could easily be used as
a classroom text to understand the process
in the new drug
development area."
?Statistical Methods in Medicine
A complete and balanced presentation now
revised, updated, and
expanded
As the field of research possibilities expands,
the need for a
working understanding of how to carry out
clinical trials only
increases. New developments in the theory
and practice of
clinical research include a growing body
of literature on the
subject, new technologies and methodologies,
and new guidelines
from the International Conference on Harmonization
(ICH).
Design and Analysis of Clinical Trials, Second
Edition provides
both a comprehensive, unified presentation
of principles and
methodologies for various clinical trials,
and a well-balanced
summary of current regulatory requirements.
This unique resource
bridges the gap between clinical and statistical
disciplines,
covering both fields in a lucid and accessible
manner. Thoroughly
updated from its first edition, the Second
Edition of Design and
Analysis of Clinical Trials features new
topics such as:
Clinical trials and regulations, especially
those of the ICH
Clinical significance, reproducibility, and
generalizability
Goals of clinical trials and target population
New study designs and trial types
Sample size determination on equivalence
and noninferiority
trials, as well as comparing variabilities
Also, three entirely new chapters cover:
Designs for cancer clinical trials
Preparation and implementation of a clinical
protocol
Data management of a clinical trial
Written with the practitioner in mind, the
presentation assumes
only a minimal mathematical and statistical
background for its
reader. Instead, the writing emphasizes real-life
examples and
illustrations from clinical case studies,
as well as numerous
references?280 of them new to the Second
Edition?to the
literature. Design and Analysis of Clinical
Trials, Second
Edition will benefit academic, pharmaceutical,
medical, and
regulatory scientists/researchers, statisticians,
and graduate-level
students in these areas by serving as a useful,
thorough
reference source for clinical research.

A comprehensive perspective on Weibull models
The literature on Weibull models is vast,
disjointed, and
scattered across many different journals.
Weibull Models is a
comprehensive guide that integrates all the
different facets of
Weibull models in a single volume.
This book will be of great help to practitioners
in reliability
and other disciplines in the context of modeling
data sets using
Weibull models. For researchers interested
in these modeling
techniques, exercises at the end of each
chapter define potential
topics for future research.
Organized into seven distinct parts, Weibull
Models:
Covers model analysis, parameter estimation,
model validation,
and application
Serves as both a handbook and a research
monograph. As a
handbook, it classifies the different models
and presents their
properties. As a research monograph, it unifies
the literature
and presents the results in an integrated
manner
Intertwines theory and application
Focuses on model identification prior to
model parameter
estimation
Discusses the usefulness of the Weibull Probability
plot (WPP) in
the model selection to model a given data
set
Highlights the use of Weibull models in reliability
theory
Filled with in-depth analysis, Weibull Models
pulls together the
most relevant information on this topic to
give everyone from
reliability engineers to applied statisticians
involved with
reliability and survival analysis a clear
look at what Weibull
models can offer.

In modern society, we are ever more aware
of the environmental
issues we face, whether these relate to global
warming, depletion
of rivers and oceans, despoliation of forests,
pollution of land,
poor air quality, environmental health issues,
etc. At the most
fundamental level it is necessary to monitor
what is happening in
the environment ? collecting data to describe
the changing scene.
More importantly, it is crucial to formally
describe the
environment with sound and validated models,
and to analyse and
interpret the data we obtain in order to
take action.
Environmental Statistics provides a broad
overview of the
statistical methodology used in the study
of the environment,
written in an accessible style by a leading
authority on the
subject. It serves as both a textbook for
students of
environmental statistics, as well as a comprehensive
source of
reference for anyone working in statistical
investigation of
environmental issues.
Provides broad coverage of the methodology
used in the
statistical investigation of environmental
issues.
Covers a wide range of key topics, including
sampling, methods
for extreme data, outliers and robustness,
relationship models
and methods, time series, spatial analysis,
and environmental
standards.
Includes many detailed practical and worked
examples that
illustrate the applications of statistical
methods in
environmental issues.
Authored by a leading authority on environmental
statistics.
