This book provides an introduction to the mathematical modelling of real world financial markets and the rational pricing of derivatives, which is part of the theory that not only underpins modern financial practice but is a thriving area of mathematical research.
Iterative Methods for Queuing and Manufacturing Systems introduces the recent advances and developments in iterative methods for solving Markovian queuing and manufacturing problems.
Learning and Generalization provides a formal mathematical theory addressing intuitive questions of the type: How does a machine learn a concept on the basis of examples?
We hope this book will make the bewildering variety of methods for estimat- ing the abundance of animal populations more accessible to the uninitiated and more coherent to the cogniscenti.
Directly oriented towards real practical application, this book develops both the basic theoretical framework of extreme value models and the statistical inferential techniques for using these models in practice.
Written by Nick Bingham, Chairman and Professor of Statistics at Birkbeck College, and Rudiger Kiesel, an "e;up-and-coming"e; academic, Risk Neutrality will benefit the Springer Finance Series in many ways.
A workshop to look at strategies, methods of implementation and evaluation of vocational training and Continuing Medical Education in General Practice was held in June 1990 in London.
Uncertainty is an inherent feature of both properties of physical systems and the inputs to these systems that needs to be quantified for cost effective and reliable designs.
Recent Advances in System Reliability discusses developments in modern reliability theory such as signatures, multi-state systems and statistical inference.
A Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Growth reports the findings of a longitudinal study of the growth of 200 schoolboys and 100 schoolgirls through the course of adolescence.
This book is based on the 20th Study Group of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, which concerned the important topic of fetal growth.
This book contains the full proceedings of the Tenth World Conference on Tobacco or Health, held 24-28 August 1997 in Beijing, China, and hosted by the Chinese Association on Smoking and Health and the Chinese Medical Association.
Randomized Algorithms discusses two problems of fine pedigree: counting and generation, both of which are of fundamental importance to discrete mathematics and probability.
Measure, Integral and Probability is a gentle introduction that makes measure and integration theory accessible to the average third-year undergraduate student.
Over the past decades, although stochastic system control has been studied intensively within the field of control engineering, all the modelling and control strategies developed so far have concentrated on the performance of one or two output properties of the system.
Developed from a set of lecture notes by Professor Kamen and since developed and refined by both authors, this introductory yet comprehensive study is a prime example in its field.
Discrete-time Stochastic Systems gives a comprehensive introduction to the estimation and control of dynamic stochastic systems and provides complete derivations of key results such as the basic relations for Wiener filtering.
An exposition of the interplay between the modelling of dynamic systems and the design of feedback controllers based on these models is the main goal of this book.
This volume on the latest developments in statistical modelling is a collection of refereed papers presented at the 38th International Workshop on Statistical Modelling, IWSM 2024, held from 14 to 19 July 2024 in Durham, UK.
This volume features a collection of peer-reviewed contributions from the biannual conference organized by the Mexican Statistical Society, held in Cuernavaca, Mexico, from September 27-29, 2023.
The two-volume set LNBIP 518 and 519 constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 25th International Conference on Enterprise Information Systems, ICEIS 2023, which was held in Prague, Czech Republic, during April 2023.
This book compares the population history of Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and China to understand such emergent changes as extremely low fertility in Korea and Taiwan, compressed urbanization and a massive diaspora from Korea, early population aging relative to economic development in China, and changing patterns of cross-border migration in the region.
This book presents data-driven algorithms used in the context of wind farm modelling and exploits their relation with concepts from non-linear dynamical system theory.
