Modelling in Urban and Regional Economics

Multilevel modelling facilitates the analysis of hierarchical data where observations may be nested within higher levels of classification. In health care research, for example, a study may be underta

WWII saw the development of a huge range of armed and unarmed military vehicles - anti-aircraft gun platforms, ambulances, artillery tractors, fuel bowsers, jeeps, trucks and troop carriers – these ar

Modern policy problems require analysts to capture the interactions between policy and the complexities of economic and social life, as well as between policies of different types. Increasingly, microsimulation is employed to analyse these problems. This book brings together examples of microsimulation modelling that are at the frontiers of developments in the field, either because they extend the range of techniques available to modellers, or because they demonstrate new applications for established methods. It represents the state of the art with chapters on the use of microsimulation for comparative policy research and for challenging conventional assumptions, combining microsimulation with other types of economic models and the much-neglected subjects of model alignment and validation. Data and case studies are taken from regions including Asia-Pacific, Europe and North America.

The application of mathematical models to molecules has now reached maturity. Scientists as diverse as astrophysicists, biologists, chemists, materials scientists and zoologists can reach for their PC

This book sets out to provide a practical reference for the modeller and complement the vast array of historical reference material that already exists for this period. Many different techniques are c

Gilchrist (Sheffield Hallam University, emeritus) systematically examines the entire process of statistical modeling, starting with the use of the quantile function to define continuous distributions.

Mnller (applied microbiology, Justus-Liebig U., Giessen, Germany) shows how even complex problems in the many interactions between soil and the biosphere can be solved using computer modelling package

Probably the greatest test of the modeller is achieving the perfectly posed figure. This title explains how best to set up the figure, and goes on to deal with the niceties of painting, facial express

Fundamental and technological topics are blended uniquely and developed clearly in nine chapters with a gradually increasing level of complexity. A wide variety of relevant problems is raised througho

This is the fifth title in the series and is intended to be a companion volume for Volume 3: Basic Military Vehicle Modelling and Volume 4: Advanced Military Vehicle Modelling. This title helps to com

Statisticians rely heavily on making models of 'causal situations' in order to fully explain and predict events. Modelling therefore plays a vital part in all applications of statistics and is a compo

Geomorphologists played a major role in the 1960s and 1970s in terrain research as the potential of the computer was realised for both storing and manipulating landform information. With growth in the

GIS users and professionals are aware that the accuracy of GIS results cannot be naively based on the quality of the graphical output. Data stored in a GIS will have been collected or measured, classi

The real world can be modelled using mathematics, and the construction of such models is the theme of this book. The authors concentrate on the techniques used to set up mathematical models and describe many systems in full detail, covering both differential and difference equations in depth. Amongst the broad spectrum of topics studied in this book are: mechanics, genetics, thermal physics, economics and population studies. Any student wishing to solve problems via mathematical modelling will find that this book provides an excellent introduction to the subject.
