Volume

update v. 1 ISBN 9780471118367

Description

Countless professionals and students who use statistics in their work rely on the ten--volume (including supplement) Encyclopedia of Statistical Sciences as a superior and unique source of information on statistical theory, methods, and applications. This new volume is the first of three planned updates designed to bring the Encyclopedia in line with the latest topics and advances made in statistical science over the past decade--in areas such as computer--intensive statistical methodology, genetics, medicine, the environment, and other applications. Written by over 100 world--renowned experts (including the editors), the entries are self--contained and easily understood by readers with a limited statistical background. Up--to--date bibliographies, thorough cross--referencing, and extensive indexing facilitate quick access to specific information and provide an indispensable platform for further study and research. With the publication of this first update installment, the Encyclopedia of Statistical Sciences retains its position as a cutting--edge reference of choice for those working in statistics, biostatistics, quality control, economics, sociology, engineering, probability theory, computer science, biomedicine, psychology, and many other areas.

Volume

update v. 2 ISBN 9780471119395

Description

This update of a popular statistics reference reflects the rapid expansion in the field, with leading experts offering contributions on emerging topics in statistics procedures. It also contains coverage of statistical agencies and journals and includes biographies of pioneers in statistics.

Volume

update v. 3 ISBN 9780471238836

Description

Keeping pace with the latest developments in all branches of statistical science. Encyclopedia of Statistical Sciences is the number one source of information on statistical theory, methods, and applications for researchers and clinicians. This new volume is the last of three updates designed to bring the Encyclopedia in line with new and emerging topics and important advances in statistical science made over the past decade. Each self-contained entry is written by a leader in the field and easily understood by readers with a modest statistical background. In addition to the main selections, which feature fascinating discussions of developments in various branches of the statistical sciences, readers will find a series of shorter entries ranging in subject matter from the lives of pioneers in statistics to updates of earlier articles and reviews of statistical agencies and journals. Up-to-date bibliographies, thorough cross-referencing, and extensive indexing facilitate quick access to specific information and provide an indispensable platform for further study and research. A cumulative index and listing of all the entries in the 13 volumes of the Encyclopedia, together with the corresponding authors, are included. With the publication of this update installment, the Encyclopedia of Statistical Sciences retains its position as the only cutting-edge reference of choice for those working in statistics, probability theory, biostatistics, quality control, and economics and in applications of statistical methods in sociology, engineering, computer and communication science, biomedicine, psychology, and many other areas.

Volume

suppl ISBN 9780471812746

Description

The encyclopedia, on statistical methodolgy and applications, covers research theory and practical applications in virtually every field. It is designed to help specialists avoid duplication of research and to help statistics users in every field understand the advantages, caveats, and techniques of numerous statistical methods. There have been many new advances and developments in statistics since the publication of Volume 1 in 1982. The purpose of thsi Supplement is to report on these events with full, detailed entries. In this way, the Supplement updates the original set with new information, complete with references and cross- references, as in all previous volumes. In addition, the cumulative index which appears in Volume 9 is updated to include all new material in the Supplement, and therefore comprises a thoroughly integrated index for the entire set. The volume will be of use to librarians, everyone who uses statistics, statisticians, mathematicians, business administrators, chemists, all engineers and physicians.
