This textbook provides a step-by-step introduction to the tools and principles of high-dimensional statistics. Each chapter is complemented by numerous exercises, many of them with detailed solutions, and computer labs in R that convey valuable practical insights. The book cover…
This book discusses quantum theory as the theory of random (Brownian) motion of small particles (electrons etc.) under external forces. Implying that the Schrödinger equation is a complex-valued evolution equation and the Schrödinger function is a complex-valued evolution functi…
The goal of this book is to gather in a single document the most relevant concepts related to modern optimization methods, showing how such concepts and methods can be addressed using the open source, multi-platform R tool. Modern optimization methods, also known as metaheuristi…
1. What is a Stochastic Process? -- 2. The Simple Random Walk I: Associated Boundary Value Distributions, Transience and Recurrence -- 3. The Simple Random Walk II: First Passage Times -- 4. Multidimensional Random Walk -- 5. The Poisson Process, Compound Poisson Process, and Po…
Il volume fornisce un'introduzione a teoria e applicazioni dei modelli lineari generalizzati. Si presentano modelli di regressione per risposte continue, binarie, categoriali e di conteggio. Si offre anche un'introduzione ai modelli per risposte correlate. Utilizzando il softwar…
This book introduces readers to various signal processing models that have been used in analyzing periodic data, and discusses the statistical and computational methods involved. Signal processing can broadly be considered to be the recovery of information from physical observat…
This book presents the latest research on the statistical analysis of functional, high-dimensional and other complex data, addressing methodological and computational aspects, as well as real-world applications. It covers topics like classification, confidence bands, density est…
This book features 13 papers presented at the Fifth International Symposium on Recurrence Plots, held August 2013 in Chicago, IL. It examines recent applications and developments in recurrence plots and recurrence quantifi cation analysis (RQA) with special emphasis on biologica…
Linear mixed-effects models (LMMs) are an important class of statistical models that can be used to analyze correlated data. Such data are encountered in a variety of fields including biostatistics, public health, psychometrics, educational measurement, and sociology. This book …
This book provides the first comprehensive introduction to Rcpp, which has become the most widely-used language extension for R, and is deployed by over one-hundred different CRAN and BioConductor packages. Rcpp permits users to pass scalars, vectors, matrices, list or entire R …
The Second Bayesian Young Statisticians Meeting (BAYSM 2014) and the research presented here facilitate connections among researchers using Bayesian Statistics by providing a forum for the development and exchange of ideas. WU Vienna University of Business and Economics hosted B…
