Description
This book seeks to lay down some common ground for the theory and
practice of register-based statistics. It begins by defining the
area, before explaining how to structure such systems, as well as
detailing alternative approaches. It explains how to create
statistical registers, how to implement quality assurance, and
the use of IT systems for register-based statistics. Further to
this, clear details are given about the practicalities of
implementing such statistical methods, such as protection of
privacy and the coordination and coherence of such an undertaking.
Register-Based Statistics offers a full understanding of both the
principles and practices of this increasingly popular area of
statistics, and can be considered a first step to a more
systematic way of working with register-statistical issues.

Description
This book provides a comprehensive treatment of the design of
split-plot and blocked experiments, two types of experiments that
are extremely popular in practice. The optimal design approach
advocated in the book will help applied statisticians from
industry, medicine, agriculture, chemistry and many other fields
of study in setting up tailor-made experiments. This is
illustrated by a number of examples. The book also contains a
theoretical background, a thorough review of the recent work in
the area of split-block and blocked experiments, and a number of
provocative theoretical results (some new to this volume).

Description
This book explains the foundations, theory, methodology,
mathematics & practicalities of what is generally termed the
Bayes linear approach. It explains the main concepts, and
illustrates them with a number of practical examples.
It begins by carefully developing the basic language of Bayes
linear analysis, describing the fundamental operations of belief
adjustment and partial adjustment and their interpretations. It
describes the role of exchangeability, and discusses more general
ways of analyzing beliefs via general belief transforms, and
shows how the Bayes linear approach may be used to analyse
statistical examples of various degrees of complexity. The twin
roles of Bayes linear influence diagrams are discussed, and it
concludes by collecting together all the algebraic results needed
for efficient implementation of the Bayes linear approach.

Description
In recent years there has been a tremendous upsurge in research
into SEMs, focusing on an increasing range of applications. This
book provides an introduction to SEMs, and covers Bayesian
approaches to analyzing them. It features a large number of real
examples to illustrate the theory and explain computation
techniques. The book is supported by a Website featuring
computing code and data sets making it an excellent addition to
the Wiley Series in Probability and Statistics.

Description
Suitable for use as either an undergraduate or graduate text,
depending on the audience, this book covers a wide range of
topics, including some that have received increased attention in
recent years, such as hard-to-change factors, uniform designs,
multiple response optimization, and Analysis of Means (ANOM).
Conditional effects are emphasized and advocated for the first
time as a routine and important method of analysis. There is a
large number of cited references and extensive discussions of
software capabilities, with considerable illustrative use of
Design-Expert, in particular, JMP, and Minitab.

Math Horizons celebrates the people and ideas that are
mathematics. Containing the editors' selection from the first ten
years of the magazine's existence, this volume features exquisite
expositions of mathematics accessible at the level of an
undergraduate or advanced school student. Broad and appealing,
the coverage also includes fiction with mathematical themes;
literary, theatrical, and cinematic criticism; humour; history;
and social history. Mathematics is shown as a human endeavour
through biographies and interviews of mathematicians and users of
mathematics including artists, writers, and scientists. The
puzzles, games, and activities throughout make it a valuable
resource for student maths clubs. Though especially appealing to
undergraduate math majors, academics in mathematics, and school
teachers and their students, anyone with an interest in
mathematics will delight in engaging this volume. Like the
magazine from which it is drawn, this collection is an eclectic
and wide-ranging look at the culture of mathematics.
* Beautifully printed with 24 pages of full-color images
* An eclectic and wide-ranging look at the culture of mathematics
* A must for any mathematical enthusiast
