This book provides a systematic in-depth analysis of nonparametric regression with random design. It covers almost all known estimates. The emphasis is on distribution-free properties of the estimates.

This book reviews nonparametric Bayesian methods and models that have proven useful in the context of data analysis. In selecting specific nonparametric models, simpler and more traditional models are favored over specialized ones.

This book presents the statistical analysis of compositional data using the log-ratio approach. It includes a wide range of classical and robust statistical methods adapted for compositional data analysis, such as supervised and unsupervised methods like PCA, correlation analysis, classification and regression.

In this new edition the author has added substantial material on Bayesian analysis, including lengthy new sections on such important topics as empirical and hierarchical Bayes analysis, Bayesian calculation, Bayesian communication, and group decision making.

The study of copulas and their role in statistics is a new but vigorously growing field. In this book the student or practitioner of statistics and probability will find discussions of the fundamental properties of copulas and some of their primary applications.

This major new edition features many topics not covered in the original, including graphical models, random forests, and ensemble methods. As before, it covers the conceptual framework for statistical data in our rapidly expanding computerized world.

This textbook for graduate students in statistics, data science, and public health deals with the practical challenges that come with big, complex, and dynamic data.

This book presents the latest statistical methods required for applying functional data analysis to problems arising in geosciences, finance, economics and biology. It describes all procedures algorithmically, supported by a complete asymptotic theory.

A book in the "Springer Series" in Statistics.

Survival analysis arises in many fields of study including medicine, biology, engineering, public health, epidemiology, and economics. It presents a balance between theory and applications, and for each class of models discussed, detailed examples and analyses from case studies are presented whenever possible.

This text is concerned with Bayesian learning, inference and forecasting in dynamic environments.

The first edition of this book was the first comprehensive text written solely on principal component analysis. The second edition updates and substantially expands the original version, and is once again the definitive text on the subject. Its length is nearly double that of the first edition.

This book contains the ideas of functional data analysis by a number of case studies. Every reader should gain not only a specific understanding of the methods of functional data analysis, but more importantly a general insight into the underlying patterns of thought.

Presents a unified statistical outlook on both classical methods of demography and recent developments. Exercises are included to facilitate its classroom use. Both authors have contributed extensively to statistical demography and served in advisory roles and as statistical consultants in the field.

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.

This book is a comprehensive treatment of inference for hidden Markov models, including both algorithms and statistical theory. The book builds on recent developments, both at the foundational level and the computational level, to present a self-contained view.

The linear mixed model has become the main parametric tool for the analysis of continuous longitudinal data, as the authors discussed in their 2000 book.

This book covers a highly relevant topic that is of wide interest, especially in finance, engineering and computational biology. With an emphasis on the practical implementation of the simulation and estimation methods presented, the text will be useful to practitioners with minimal mathematical background.

Originally published in 1981, this title includes a bibliography and an errata list.

This volume is the first book-length treatment of model-based geostatistics. The text is expository, emphasizing statistical methods and applications rather than the underlying mathematical theory. It features analyses of datasets from a range of scientific contexts.

This reference text presents comprehensive coverage of the various notions of stochastic orderings, their closure properties, and their applications. It is an ideal reference for anyone interested in decision making under uncertainty.

This book provides a comprehensive treatment of linear mixed models for continuous longitudinal data. Next to model formulation, this edition puts major emphasis on exploratory data analysis for all aspects of the model, such as the marginal model, subject-specific profiles, and residual covariance structure.

Observational studies are common in most fields that study the effects of treatments on people. This book is both an introduction to statistical inference in observational studies and a discussion of the principles guiding the design of observational studies.

However, a modeling framework incorporating stochastic models, likelihood calculation, prediction intervals and procedures for model selection, was not developed until recently. More advanced topics are covered in Part 3, including the mathematical properties of the models and extensions of the models for specific problems.

The book is aimed at applied statisticians, graduate students of statistics, and students and researchers with a strong interest in statistics and data analysis. This second edition is extensively revised, especially those sections relating with Bayesian concepts.

Bayesian statistics is one of the active research areas in statistics. This book provides the theoretical background behind the important development, Markov chain Monte Carlos methods.

This text emphasizes the main ideas underlying a variety of nonparametric and semiparametric methods. This edition contains over one hundred pages of new material as well as empirical examples to illustrate the methods presented.

This book introduces basic concepts, main results and widely-applied mathematical tools in the spectral analysis of large dimensional random matrices. This updated edition includes two new chapters and summaries from the field of random matrix theory.
