This monograph serves as an introductory text to classical renewal theory and some of its applications for graduate students and researchers in mathematics and probability theory. In this book, an overview of univariate renewal theory is given and renewal processes in the non-lattice and lattice case are discussed.

Beginning with a brief introduction to linear programming, the book introduces the algebraic representations of conditional independence statements and their applications using linear programming methods.

Through real-world datasets, this book shows the reader how to work with material in biostatistics using the open source software R.

The existence of missing observations is a very important aspect to be considered in the application of survey sampling, for example. Traditionally, simple random sampling is used to select samples. RSS models are developed as counterparts of well-known simple random sampling (SRS) models.

This Brief provides a roadmap for the R language and programming environment with signposts to further resources and documentation.

The purpose of this book is to illustrate a new statistical approach to test allelic association and genotype-specific effects in the genetic study of diseases.

The first part of this title contained all statistical tests that are relevant for starters on SPSS, and included standard parametric and non-parametric tests for continuous and binary variables, regression methods, trend tests, and reliability and validity assessments of diagnostic tests.

The first part of this title contained all statistical tests relevant to starting clinical investigations, and included tests for continuous and binary data, power, sample size, multiple testing, variability, confounding, interaction, and reliability.

This book will be of interest to readers active in the fields of survival analysis, genetics, ecology, biology, demography, reliability and quality control. Since Sir David Cox's pioneering work in 1972, the proportional hazards model has become the most important model in survival analysis.
