Statistical Modeling and Analysis for Complex Data Problems -

. .

Résumé :
Twenty-nine authors - largely from Montreal's GERAD Multi-University Research Center and working in areas of theoretical statistics, applied statistics, probability theory, and stochastic processes - present survey chapters on various theoretical and applied problems. The volume treats some of today's more complex problems from a modeling perspective and surveys the state of current research on each topic, also providing directions for further research exploration of the area. One of ten volumes marking the 25th anniversary of GERAD....
