A fascinating chronicle of the lives and achievements of the menand women who helped shapethe science of statistics This handsomely illustrated volume will make enthralling readingfor scientists, mathematicians, and science history buffs alike.Spanning nearly four centuries, it chronicles the lives andachievements of more than 110 of the most prominent names intheoretical and applied statistics and probability. From Bernoullito Markov, Poisson to Wiener, you will find intimate profiles ofwomen and men whose work led to significant advances in the areasof statistical inference and theory, probability theory, governmentand economic statistics, medical and agricultural statistics, andscience an...
For the last four decades, the uses of econometric tools and techniques, irrespective of discipline, have been increasing rapidly for solving problems, appropriate decision-making and policy formulation. Generally, it is accepted that the study of modern business and economics is incomplete without a proper knowledge of econometric tools and techniques. In view of the increasing complexity and variety of problems in business and economics, students and researchers may not be able to cope and hence may remain unfamiliar with many aspects of business and economic problems. Thus, this book was written to explore basic and advanced studies of econometrics for undergraduate and graduate students of business and economics, as well as for researchers already engaged in these fields who require an introduction to econometric methods and their application for solving of real-life problems. The book offers a balanced presentation of fundamental and advanced levels of econometric concepts and methods, along with practical examples of their effective application in real-life problems.
The three decades which have followed the publication of Heinz Neudecker's seminal paper `Some Theorems on Matrix Differentiation with Special Reference to Kronecker Products' in the Journal of the American Statistical Association (1969) have witnessed the growing influence of matrix analysis in many scientific disciplines. Amongst these are the disciplines to which Neudecker has contributed directly - namely econometrics, economics, psychometrics and multivariate analysis. This book aims to illustrate how powerful the tools of matrix analysis have become as weapons in the statistician's armoury. The majority of its chapters are concerned primarily with theoretical innovations, but all of th...

Volume 19 of the Australian Dictionary of Biography (ADB) contains concise biographies of individuals who died between 1991 and 1995. The first of two volumes for the 1990s, it presents a colourful montage of late twentieth-century Australian life, containing the biographies of significant and representative Australians. The volume is still in the shadow of World War II with servicemen and women who enlisted young appearing, but these influences are dimming and there are now increasing numbers of non-white, non-male, non-privileged and non-straight subjects. The 680 individuals recorded in volume 19 of the ADB include Wiradjuri midwife and Ngunnawal Elder Violet Bulger; Aboriginal rights act...
In 1945, very early in the history of the development of a rigorous analytical theory of probability, Feller (1945) wrote a paper called “The fundamental limit theorems in probability” in which he set out what he considered to be “the two most important limit theorems in the modern theory of probability: the central limit theorem and the recently discovered ... ‘Kolmogoroff’s cel ebrated law of the iterated logarithm’ ”. A little later in the article he added to these, via a charming description, the “little brother (of the central limit theo rem), the weak law of large numbers”, and also the strong law of large num bers, which he considers as a close relative of the law of...
The Athens Conference on Applied Probability and Time Series in 1995 brought together researchers from across the world. The published papers appear in two volumes. Volume II presents papers on time series analysis, many of which were contributed to a meeting in March 1995 partly in honour of E.J. Hannan. The initial paper by P.M. Robinson discusses Ted Hannan's researches and their influence on current work in time series analysis. Other papers discuss methods for finite parameter Gaussian models, time series with infinite variance or stable marginal distribution, frequency domain methods, long range dependent processes, nonstationary processes, and nonlinear time series. The methods presented can be applied in a number of fields such as statistics, applied mathematics, engineering, economics and ecology. The papers include many of the topics of current interest in time series analysis and will be of interest to a wide range of researchers.
