Continuous Multivariate Distributions, Volume 1, Second Edition provides a remarkably comprehensive, self-contained resource for this critical statistical area. It covers all significant advances that have occurred in the field over the past quarter century in the theory, methodology, inferential procedures, computational and simulational aspects, and applications of continuous multivariate distributions. In-depth coverage includes MV systems of distributions, MV normal, MV exponential, MV extreme value, MV beta, MV gamma, MV logistic, MV Liouville, and MV Pareto distributions, as well as MV natural exponential families, which have grown immensely since the 1970s. Each distribution is presented in its own chapter along with descriptions of real-world applications gleaned from the current literature on continuous multivariate distributions and their applications.

Designed as an introduction to statistical distribution theory. * Includes a first chapter on basic notations and definitions that are essential to working with distributions. * Remaining chapters are divided into three parts: Discrete Distributions, Continuous Distributions, and Multivariate Distributions. * Exercises are incorporated throughout the text in order to enhance understanding of materials just taught.

The first and only comprehensive guide to modern record theory and its applications Although it is often thought of as a special topic in order statistics, records form a unique area, independent of the study of sample extremes. Interest in records has increased steadily over the years since Chandler formulated the theory of records in 1952. Numerous applications of them have been developed in such far-flung fields as meteorology, sports analysis, hydrology, and stock market analysis, to name just a few. And the literature on the subject currently comprises papers and journal articles numbering in the hundreds. Which is why it is so nice to have this book devoted exclusively to this lively area of statistics. Written by an exceptionally well-qualified author team, Records presents a comprehensive treatment of record theory and its applications in a variety of disciplines. With the help of a multitude of fascinating examples, Professors Arnold, Balakrishnan, and Nagaraja help readers quickly master basic and advanced record value concepts and procedures, from the classical record value model to random and multivariate record models. The book follows a rational textbook format, featuring witty and insightful chapter introductions that help smooth transitions from one topic to another and challenging chapter-end exercises, which expand on the material covered. An extensive bibliography and numerous references throughout the text specify sources for further readings on relevant topics. Records is a valuable professional resource for probabilists and statisticians, in addition to applied statisticians, meteorologists, hydrologists, market analysts, and sports analysts. It also makes an excellent primary text for courses in record theory and a supplement to order statistics courses.

Expert practical and theoretical coverage of runs and scans This volume presents both theoretical and applied aspects of runs and scans, and illustrates their important role in reliability analysis through various applications from science and engineering. Runs and Scans with Applications presents new and exciting content in a systematic and cohesive way in a single comprehensive volume, complete with relevant approximations and explanations of some limit theorems. The authors provide detailed discussions of both classical and current problems, such as: * Sooner and later waiting time * Consecutive systems * Start-up demonstration testing in life-testing experiments * Learning and memory models * «Match» in genetic codes Runs and Scans with Applications offers broad coverage of the subject in the context of reliability and life-testing settings and serves as an authoritative reference for students and professionals alike.
