Böcker i Contributions to Statistics-serien

This book presents a collection of statistical methods and procedures to assess data coming from educational systems.

Statisticians and experimentalists will find the latest trends in optimal experimental design research. Some papers are pioneering contributions, leading to new open research problems. It is a colection of peer reviewed papers.

The numerous applications (micro-arrays, paleo- ecological data, radar waveforms, spectrometric curves, speech recognition, continuous time series, 3-D images, etc.) in various fields (biology, econometrics, environmetrics, the food industry, medical sciences, paper industry, etc.) make researching this statistical topic very worthwhile.

This book covers methods for spatial statistical analysis suitable for modeling spatial information in support of decision systems. Includes data mining, point processes analysis, nearest neighbor statistics and cluster detection, Fuzzy Regression and more.

This book presents a collection of statistical methods and procedures to assess data coming from educational systems.

The failure of standard multivariate statistics to analyze such functional data has led the statistical community to develop appropriate statistical methodologies, called Functional Data Analysis (FDA).

One of the main applications of statistical smoothing techniques is nonparametric regression. Smoothing techniques in regression as well as other statistical methods are increasingly applied in biosciences and economics. Introduced are new developments in scatterplot smoothing and applications in statistical modelling.
