Advances in the Theory and Practice of Statistics
In honor of Samuel Kotz, an international collection of articles on the latest advances in statistics. This tribute to Samuel Kotz features articles by eminent statisticians from around the world, all recognizing the lifetime of accomplishments of one of the premier statisticians of our time. Centered on distributions, models, and their applications, this book highlights some recent developments in both theory and applications of statistics. Editors Norman L. Johnson and N. Balakrishnan, both of whom have collaborated extensively with Samuel Kotz, have gathered contributions from theoreticians and practitioners in 18 countries, giving the volume a global perspective. Each article is classifi...
Breakthroughs in Statistics
Volume III includes more selections of articles that have initiated fundamental changes in statistical methodology. It contains articles published before 1980 that were overlooked in the previous two volumes plus articles from the 1980's - all of them chosen after consulting many of today's leading statisticians.
Kotz, Samuel
Samuel Kotz (1930-2010) was a statistician who made important contributions to statistical knowledge on a variety of topics, most notably statistical distributions and their properties and characterizations, but also information theory, quality control, and process capability indices. Via two game-changing works initiated with Norman L. Johnsonthe multivolume Distributions in Statistics and the Encyclopedia of Statistical SciencesKotz immeasurably increased the methodological resources for theoretical and empirical analysis across all the sciences. This entry begins with a brief biography of Kotz, next discusses two game-changing contributions with Johnson, and then reviews Kotz's own contributions to probability distributions. Finally, the entry considers an additional legacythe interdisciplinary and global scholarly lineage traceable to Kotz.
Extreme Value Distributions
This important book provides an up-to-date comprehensive and down-to-earth survey of the theory and practice of extreme value distributions OCo one of the most prominent success stories of modern applied probability and statistics. Originated by E J Gumbel in the early forties as a tool for predicting floods, extreme value distributions evolved during the last 50 years into a coherent theory with applications in practically all fields of human endeavor where maximal or minimal values (the so-called extremes) are of relevance. The book is of usefulness both for a beginner with a limited probabilistic background and to expert in the field. Sample Chapter(s). Chapter 1.1: Historical Survey (139...

Process Capability Indices
A solid, rigorous, yet comprehensible analysis of process capability indices, this work bridges the gap between theoretical statisticians and quality control practitioners, showing how an understanding of these indices can lead to process improvement.
Multivariate T-Distributions and Their Applications
Almost all the results available in the literature on multivariate t-distributions published in the last 50 years are now collected together in this comprehensive reference. Because these distributions are becoming more prominent in many applications, this book is a must for any serious researcher or consultant working in multivariate analysis and statistical distributions. Much of this material has never before appeared in book form. The first part of the book emphasizes theoretical results of a probabilistic nature. In the second part of the book, these are supplemented by a variety of statistical aspects. Various generalizations and applications are dealt with in the final chapters. The material on estimation and regression models is of special value for practitioners in statistics and economics. A comprehensive bibliography of over 350 references is included.
