Government policy questions and media planning tasks may be answered by this data set. It covers a wide range of different aspects of statistical matching that in Europe typically is called data fusio
In algebraic topology some classical invariants - such as Betti numbers and Reidemeister torsion - are defined for compact spaces and finite group actions. They can be generalized using von Neumann al
This fresh and original text on quantum mechanics focuses on: the development of numerical methods for obtaining specific results; the presentation of group theory and the systematic use of operators;
The book investigates bargaining between two agents. It presents the history of bargaining analysis from Francis Y. Edgeworth's first formal study, followed by cooperative and noncooperative game-theo
Emphasizing a research-based approach to theoretical considerations of the definitions and values of community, 16 chapters are presented by Fisher (psychology, Victoria U., Australia), Sonn (psycholo
In response to a growing interest in Total Least Squares (TLS) and Errors-In-Variables (EIV) modeling by researchers and practitioners, well-known experts from several disciplines were invited to prep
Quantile regression has emerged as an essential statistical tool of contemporary empirical economics and biostatistics. Complementing classical least squares regression methods which are designed to e
This textbook introduces the mathematics and application of fuzzy set theory without delving into highly theoretical areas or mathematical proofs which do not contribute to a better understanding of t
Increasing possibilities of computer-aided data processing have caused a new revival of optical techniques in many areas of mechanical and chemical engi- neering. Optical methods have a long tradition
