Although many theoretical developments have been achieved inrecent years, the progress both in understanding andapplication of risk and reliability analysis in waterresources and environmental engineering remains slow.
The primary aim of this monograph is to provide a formal framework for the representation and management of uncertainty and vagueness in the field of artificial intelligence.
The discipline of genetic epidemiology pertains to the vertical transmission of the susceptibility (predisposition) to a complex disease in a structured population.
Die Praxis der Erkenntnisgewinnung in den Bio-Wissenschaften arbeitet nach einem allgemein anerkannten Kanon von Verhaltensvorschriften, der sich auf Grund von Erfahrungen in der Forschungspraxis und nicht durch die theoretischen Reflexionen der Erkenntnistheorie herausgebildet hat.
In science, industry, public administration and documentation centers large amounts of data and information are collected which must be analyzed, ordered, visualized, classified and stored efficiently in order to be useful for practical applications.
Die Institution des Notdienstes, der regelmäßig die Telefonanamnese einsetzt, verdeutlicht in quantifizierbarer Weise den Wert dieser spezifischen Anamneseform für die allgemeinärztliche Praxis.
All up-to-date aspects of DNA technology are discussed partly in review lectures but mostly in research articles in this volume: new methods, population statistics for different restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLP's), new developments dealing with the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), biostatistical aspects of single locus and multi locus profiles as well as examples of practical applications in paternity testing and forensic stain analysis.
Adaptive systems are widely encountered in many applications ranging through adaptive filtering and more generally adaptive signal processing, systems identification and adaptive control, to pattern recognition and machine intelligence: adaptation is now recognised as keystone of "e;intelligence"e; within computerised systems.
In this book, the author adopts a state space approach to time series modeling to provide a new, computer-oriented method for building models for vector-valued time series.
Klinische Erfahrungen geben nur ein unvollständiges Bild über den wahren Verlauf von psychogenen Erkrankungen, weil jede Inanspruchnahmeklientel, jegliches Patientengut aller Institutionen und Therapeuten hochgradig selektiert ist.
Infectious diseases are transmitted through variousdifferent mechanisms including person to personinteractions, by insect vectors and via verticaltransmission from a parent to an unborn offspring.
This volume contains the full text of twenty-six of the thirty-one papers given at the Montreux 1989 International Chemical Information Conference in Montreux, Switzerland between 26 and 28 September 1989.
Behavioural Mechanisms of Food Selection examines animals belonging to diverse trophic groups, from carnivores, herbivores, micro-algal grazers, to filter-feeders and detritus-feeders.
Addressed to both pure and applied probabilitists, including graduate students, this text is a pedagogically-oriented introduction to the Schwartz-Meyer second-order geometry and its use in stochastic calculus.
Anläßlich des 25jährigen Jubiläums des Deutschen Krebsforschungszentrums (DKFZ) in Heidelberg geben die Autoren einen Überblick über Institutionen und Organisationsformen der Krebsforschung in Deutschland, speziell der Vorgeschichte und Geschichte des DKFZ seit Anfang des 20.
In this volume experts present the latest status of mathematical and statistical methods in use for the analysis and modeling of plant disease epidemics.
This handbook gives a detailed introduction to the Time Series Database System MAXDATA, which offers a very simple and convenient handling of voluminous numerical databases on a personal computer.
Over the past decades, health care delivery - once characterized by clearly defined relationships between medical professionals, regulators, and industr- has become much more complex.
The European School of Oncology came into existence to respond to a need for information, education and training in the field of the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.
Today, the theory of random processes represents a large field of mathematics with many different branches, and the task of choosing topics for a brief introduction to this theory is far from being simple.
Dieses Buch gibt dem Labor- und Verwaltungsleiter im Bereich der Labororganisation für die Personalbedarfsberechnung, die Kostenstellenrechnung und Kosten-Nutzen-Beurteilung und die Führung einer Laborstatistik wertvolle Hilfestellung und Anregung.
Readers of my books, students and scientists, often ask for spe- cial references not commonly found in introductory or interme- diate books on statistics.
From earlier ecological studies it has become apparent that simple univariate or bivariate statistics are often inappropriate, and that multivariate statistical analyses must be applied.
This book contains the invited papers of the interdisciplinary workshop on "e;Stochastic Nonlinear Systems in Physics, Chemistry and Biology"e; held at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research (ZIF), University of Bielefeld, West Germany, October 5-11, 1980.
