Continuous Multivariate Distributions, Volume 1 - Kotz, Samuel

. .

Résumé :
Seit dem Erscheinen der ersten Auflage dieses Werkes (1972) hat sich das Gebiet der kontinuierlichen multivariaten Verteilungen rasch weiterentwickelt. Moderne Anwendungsfelder sind die Erforschung von Hochwasser, Erdbeben, Regenf?llen und St?rmen. Entsprechend wurde das Buch ?berarbeitet und erweitert: Nunmehr zwei B?nde beschreiben eine Vielzahl multivariater Verteilungsmodelle anhand zahlreicher Beispiele. (05/00)
