Özet:
This book is a collection of selected refereed papers presented at the International Conference on Statistics, Combinatorics and Related Areas, and the Eighth International Conference of the Forum for Interdisciplinary Mathematics. It includes contributions from eminent statisticians such as Joe Gani, Clive Granger, Chris Heyde, R Nishii, C R Rao, P K Sen and Sue Wilson. By exploring and investigating deeper, these papers enlarge the reservoir in the represented areas of research, such as bioinformatics, estimating functions, financial statistics, generalized linear models, goodness of fit, image analysis, industrial data analysis, multivariate statistics, neural networks, quasi-likelihood, sample surveys, statistical inference, stochastic models, and time series. Contents: Efficient Estimators of Different Types for Domains (M C Agrawal & C K Midha); Chisquared Components as Tests of Fit for Discrete Distributions (D J Best & J C W Rayner); Long Memory Processes - An Economist's Viewpoint (C W J Granger); An Indifference Zone Approach to Testing for a Two-Component Normal Mixture (M Haynes & K Mengersen); Autoregression, Estimating Functions, and Optimality Criteria (U U Müller & W Wefelmeyer); Semiparametric Density Estimation with Additive Adjustment (K Naito); Has Statistics a Future? If so, in What Form? (C R Rao) - Comment: Challenges Facing Statistics for the 21st Century (C C Heyde); Bioinformatics: Statistical Perspectives and Controversies (P K Sen); Monitoring Pavement Construction Processes (R Sparks & J Ollis); In Search of a Good Rotation Pattern (D G Steel & C H McLaren); Hypothesis Testing of Multivariate Abundance Data (D Warton & M Hudson); Statistical Process Monitoring for Autocorrelated Date (N F Zhang); and other papers.
