Chapman & Hall/CRC Monographs on Statistics and Applied Probability
About the Book Series
Since its inception in 1960 under the leadership of Sir David R. Cox, the series has established itself as a leading outlet for monographs presenting advances in statistical and applied probability research. With over 150 books published - over 100 still in print - the series has gained a reputation for outstanding quality.
The scope of the series is wide, incorporating developments in statistical methodology of relevance to a range of application areas. The monographs in the series present succinct and authoritative overviews of methodology, often with an emphasis on application through worked examples and software for their implementation. They are written so as to be accessible to graduate students, researchers and practitioners of statistics, as well as quantitative scientists from the many relevant areas of application.
Please contact us if you have an idea for a book for the series.
Statistics for Long-Memory Processes
1st Edition
By Jan Beran
October 01, 1994
Statistical Methods for Long Term Memory Processes covers the diverse statistical methods and applications for data with long-range dependence. Presenting material that previously appeared only in journals, the author provides a concise and effective overview of probabilistic foundations, ...
An Introduction to the Bootstrap
1st Edition
By Bradley Efron, R.J. Tibshirani
May 15, 1994
Statistics is a subject of many uses and surprisingly few effective practitioners. The traditional road to statistical knowledge is blocked, for most, by a formidable wall of mathematics. The approach in An Introduction to the Bootstrap avoids that wall. It arms scientists and engineers, as well as...
Inference and Asymptotics
1st Edition
By D.R. Cox, O.E. Barndorff-Nielsen
March 01, 1994
This book provides a systematic account of some developments in asymptotic parametric inference from a likelihood-based perspective. It focuses on first-order asymptotic theory, and discusses the need for higher-order theory....
Practical Risk Theory for Actuaries
1st Edition
By C.D. Daykin, T. Pentikainen, Martti Pesonen
December 01, 1993
This classic textbook covers all aspects of risk theory in a practical way. It builds on from the late R.E. Beard's extremely popular book Risk Theory, but features more emphasis on simulation and modeling and on the use of risk theory as a practical tool. Practical Risk Theory is a textbook for ...
Markov Models & Optimization
1st Edition
By M.H.A. Davis
August 01, 1993
This book presents a radically new approach to problems of evaluating and optimizing the performance of continuous-time stochastic systems. This approach is based on the use of a family of Markov processes called Piecewise-Deterministic Processes (PDPs) as a general class of stochastic system ...
Nonparametric Regression and Generalized Linear Models: A roughness penalty approach
1st Edition
By P.J. Green, Bernard. W. Silverman
May 01, 1993
In recent years, there has been a great deal of interest and activity in the general area of nonparametric smoothing in statistics. This monograph concentrates on the roughness penalty method and shows how this technique provides a unifying approach to a wide range of smoothing problems. The method...
Differential Geometry and Statistics
1st Edition
By M.K. Murray, J.W. Rice
April 01, 1993
This book explains why geometry should enter into parametric statistics and how the theory of asymptotic expansions involves a form of higher-order differential geometry. It gives some new explanations of geometric ideas from a first principles point of view as far as geometry is concerned....
Inspection Errors for Attributes in Quality Control
1st Edition
By Norman L. Johnson, Samuel Kotz, Xi-Zhi Wu
June 01, 1991
This book provides a comprehensive survey of the most recent methodology--both theoretical and applied--on the statistical analysis and detection of defective/"non-conforming" items in various types of inspection for attributes, when the inspection itself is subject to error....
Queues
1st Edition
By D.R. Cox, Walter Smith
June 01, 1991
This is a classic book on Queues. First published in 1961 it is clearly and concisely introduces the theory of queueing systems and is still just as relevant today. The monograph is aimed at both students and operational research workers concerned with the practical investigations of queueing, ...
Generalized Additive Models
1st Edition
By T.J. Hastie, R.J. Tibshirani
June 01, 1990
This book describes an array of power tools for data analysis that are based on nonparametric regression and smoothing techniques. These methods relax the linear assumption of many standard models and allow analysts to uncover structure in the data that might otherwise have been missed. While ...
Generalized Linear Models
2nd Edition
By P. McCullagh, John A. Nelder
August 01, 1989
The success of the first edition of Generalized Linear Models led to the updated Second Edition, which continues to provide a definitive unified, treatment of methods for the analysis of diverse types of data. Today, it remains popular for its clarity, richness of content and direct relevance to ...
Analysis of Binary Data
2nd Edition
By D.R. Cox, E. J. Snell
May 15, 1989
The first edition of this book (1970) set out a systematic basis for the analysis of binary data and in particular for the study of how the probability of 'success' depends on explanatory variables. The first edition has been widely used and the general level and style have been preserved in the ...
