Evolutionary biology, rendered as an Epic of Evolution, provides a powerful origin story appropriate for our times. Conservation biology, ecology, and Gaia theory all reveal how we fit in with the natural world; Barlow argues that they can not only inform our ethics but also expand our sense of meaning. In dozens of unusually candid conversations with leading scientists and philosophers, she presents an emerging view of a new meaning for science in our lives-and why this new meaning is crucial for our times. 362 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Comprising the major theorems of probability theory and the measure theoretical foundations of the subject, the main topics treated here are independence, interchangeability, and martingales. Particular emphasis is placed upon stopping times, both as tools in proving theorems and as objects of interest themselves. No prior knowledge of measure theory is assumed and a unique feature of the book is the combined presentation of measure and probability. It is easily adapted for graduate students familiar with measure theory using the guidelines given.Special features include: A comprehensive treatment of the law of the iterated logarithm The Marcinklewicz-Zygmund inequality, its extension to martingales and applications thereof Development and applications of the second moment analogue of Walds equation Limit theorems for martingale arrays; the central limit theorem for the interchangeable and martingale cases; moment convergence in the central limit theorem Complete discussion, including central limit theorem, of the random casting of r balls into n cells Recent martingale inequalities Cram r-L vy theorem and factor-closed families of distributions. 516 pp. Englisch.

The primary focus is on log-linear models for contingency tables,but in this second edition,greater emphasis has been placed on logistic regression. Topics such as logistic discrimination and generalized linear models are also explored. The treatment is designed for students with prior knowledge of analysis of variance and regression. It builds upon the relationships between these basic models for continuous data and the analogous log- linear and logistic regression models for discrete data. While emphasizing similarities between methods for discrete and continuous data,this book also carefully examines the differences in model interpretations and evaluation that occur due to the discrete nature of the data. Sample commands are given for analyses in SAS,BMFP,and GLIM. Numerous data sets from fields as diverse as engineering, education,sociology,and medicine are used to illustrate procedures and provide exercises. This book incorporates a number of innovative features. It begins with an extensive discussion of odds and odds ratios as well as concrete illustrations of the basic independence models for contingency tables. After developing a sound applied and theoretical basis for the models considered,the book presents detailed discussions of the use of graphical models and of models selection procedures. It then explores models with quantitative factors and generalized linear models,after which the fundamental results are reexamined using powerful matrix methods. Finally, the book gives an extensive treatment of Bayesian procedures for analyzing logistic regression and other regression models for binomial data. Bayesian methods are simple and,unlike 508 pp. Englisch.

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -International concern in scientific, industrial, and governmental communities of xenobiotics in foods and in both abiotic and biotic environments over traces has justified the present triumvirate of specialized publications in this field: comprehensive reviews, rapidly published research papers and progress reports, and archival documentations. These three international publications are inte grated and scheduled to provide the coherency essential for nonduplicative and current progress in a field as dynamic and complex as environmental contamina tion and toxicology. This series is reserved exclusively for the diversified litera ture on 'toxic' chemicals in our food, our feeds, our homes, recreational and working surroundings, our domestic animals, our wildlife and ourselves. Tre mendous efforts worldwide have been mobilized to evaluate the nature, pres ence, magnitude, fate, and toxicology of the chemicals loosed upon the earth. Among the sequelae of this broad new emphasis is an undeniable need for an articulated set of authoritative publications, where one can find the latest impor tant world literature produced by these emerging areas of science together with documentation of pertinent ancillary legislation. Research directors and legislative or administrative advisers do not have the time to scan the escalating number of technical publications that may contain articles important to current responsibility. Rather, these individuals need the background provided by detailed reviews and the assurance that the latest infor mation is made available to them, all with minimal literature searching. 140 pp. Englisch.

Yet few people know that his original field of applied research was in econometrics and financial models, applying ideas of scaling and self-similarity to arrays of data generated by financial analyses. This book brings together his original papers as well as many original chapters specifically written for this book. 564 pp. Englisch.
