This volume describes how to develop Bayesian thinking, modelling and computation both from philosophical, methodological and application point of view. It further describes parametric and nonparametric Bayesian methods for modelling and how to use modern computational methods to summarize inferences using simulation. The book covers wide range of topics including objective and subjective Bayesian inferences with a variety of applications in modelling categorical, survival, spatial, spatiotemporal, Epidemiological, software reliability, small area and micro array data. The book concludes with a chapter on how to teach Bayesian thoughts to nonstatisticians. Critical thinking on causal effects Objective Bayesian philosophy Nonparametric Bayesian methodology Simulation based computing techniques Bioinformatics and Biostatistics
New Frontiers in Rare Earth Science and Applications, Volume I consists of extended abstracts of the lectures, papers, and posters presented at the International Conference on Rare Earth Development and Applications held in Beijing on September 10-14, 1985. This compilation discusses rare earth chemical and physical metallurgy, geology of rare earth mineralization in China, and study of hydroxamic acids for the floatation of rare earth minerals. The reactions of organolanthanoid complexes, use of lanthanide ions in the study of calmodulin structure, and influence of the weak magnetic field on red blood cell electrophorisis in mice bodies are also deliberated. This publication is a good source for researchers and scientists of disciplines related to earth science.
In this important ethnography Ziying You explores the role of the "folk literati" in negotiating, defining, and maintaining local cultural heritage. Expanding on the idea of the elite literati—a widely studied pre-modern Chinese social group, influential in cultural production—the folk literati are defined as those who are skilled in classical Chinese, knowledgeable about local traditions, and capable of representing them in writing. The folk literati work to maintain cultural continuity, a concept that is expressed locally through the vernacular phrase: "incense is kept burning." You's research focuses on a few small villages in Hongtong County, Shanxi Province in contemporary China. Th...

This volume in the series contains chapters on areas such as pareto processes, branching processes, inference in stochastic processes, Poisson approximation, Levy processes, and iterated random maps and some classes of Markov processes. Other chapters cover random walk and fluctuation theory, a semigroup representation and asymptomatic behavior of certain statistics of the Fisher-Wright-Moran coalescent, continuous-time ARMA processes, record sequence and their applications, stochastic networks with product form equilibrium, and stochastic processes in insurance and finance. Other subjects include renewal theory, stochastic processes in reliability, supports of stochastic processes of multiplicity one, Markov chains, diffusion processes, and Ito's stochastic calculus and its applications. c.

This issue of Clinics in Plastic Surgery, guest edited by Dr. Lee L.Q. Pu, is devoted to Fat Grafting to the Face for Rejuvenation, Contouring, or Regenerative Surgery. This issue will include an overview of current concepts and techniques of facial fat grafting, discuss personal approaches from the experts in fat grafting for facial rejuvenation, and show techniques for fat grafting for facial rejuvenation with nanofat grafts, cryopreserved fat grafts, and SVF-gel. Articles will further discuss fat grafting for facial contouring of the temporal region and midface, nose and chin, and unilateral face with SVF. Pan-facial fat injection approach to facial contouring in young Asian patients and fat grafting for the treatment of facial burns and burn scars, facial scleroderma, facial scars, and secondary facial deformity will also be discussed.
This volume, representing a compilation of authoritative reviews on a multitude of uses of statistics in epidemiology and medical statistics written by internationally renowned experts, is addressed to statisticians working in biomedical and epidemiological fields who use statistical and quantitative methods in their work. While the use of statistics in these fields has a long and rich history, explosive growth of science in general and clinical and epidemiological sciences in particular have gone through a see of change, spawning the development of new methods and innovative adaptations of standard methods. Since the literature is highly scattered, the Editors have undertaken this humble ex...
