"The concepts of estimands, analyses (estimators) and sensitivity are interrelated. Therefore, great need exists for an integrated approach to these topics. This book acts a practical guide to developing and implementing statistical analysis plans by explaining fundamental conce…
This is the first entry-level book on algorithmic (also known as automatic) differentiation (AD), providing fundamental rules for the generation of first- and higher-order tangent-linear and adjoint code. The author covers the mathematical underpinnings as well as how to apply t…
