Probability and statistics

In Part I of this report the pointwise derivation of scalar set functions is investigated, first along the lines of R.

This book presents the proceedings of a workshop on community ecology organized at Davis, in April, 1986, sponsored by the Sloan Foundation.

Der erstmalig 1974 erschienene Tumorlokalisationsschlüssel - die deutschsprachige Fassung des Topographieteils der ICD-O - hat sich als Kodierungsrichtlinie bei der Dokumentation maligner Tumoren bewährt.

It was mainly during the last two decades that the theory of homogenization or averaging of partial differential equations took shape as a distinct mathe- matical discipline.

This book deals with one of the fundamental problems of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics: the explanation of large-scale dynamics (evolution differential equations) from models of a very large number of interacting particles.

In order to provide meaningful information for evaluating environmental consequences of alternative control strategies of air pollutant emissions, scientists have recently initiated numerous studies aiming at collecting and making use of regional data.

Food webs hold a central place in ecology.

This classification is based primarily on the microscopic characteris- tics of tumours.

The controlled clinical trial has become an essential part of the clinician's decision-making process.

Die Untersuchung des möglichen Zusammenhanges zwischen Passivrauchen und Lungenkrebs ist ein Beispiel für aktuelle epidemiologische Fragestellungen, bei denen es um die Erforschung der Krankheitsverursachung durch niedrige Risiken geht.

The purpose of this monograph is to address the basic mecha- nisms for organizing trials.

These notes serve as an introduction to stochastic theories which are useful in population biology; they are based on a course given at the Courant Institute, New York, in the Spring of 1974.

The NATO Advanced Study Institute From Statistics to Neural Networks, Theory and Pattern Recognition Applications took place in Les Arcs, Bourg Saint Maurice, France, from June 21 through July 2, 1993.

When John Thompson and I first began talking about finding a way to measure and cost the output of hospitals in the 1960s.

The NATO Advanced Study Institute on Biomechanics of Active Movement and Division of Cells was held September 19-29, 1993 in Istanbul and the Proceedings are presented in this volume.

This publication provides guidance on preparing data to be input into an international computerised database for clinical case histories of persons accidentally exposed to whole body irradiation.

Usually, the first edition of a book still contains a multiplicity of typographic, con- ceptional, and computational errors even if one believes the opposite at the time of publication.

The favourable reception of the first edition and the encouragement received from many readers have prompted the author to bring out this new edition.

The aim of this book is to give an up to date account of the most commonly uses statisti- cal models for categorical data.

One-dimensional dynamics has developed in the last decades into a subject in its own right.

Since the thalidomide (Contergan) tragedy about 30 years agothe induction of prenatally-induced morphological orfunctional defects has been an area of extensive research.

The purpose of this book is to give a streamlined introduction to the theory of (not necessarily symmetric) Dirichlet forms on general state spaces.

Our life is a highly nonlinear process.
