Synopsis

The practice and theory of statistics has developed rapidly over the past 25 years in tandem with the greatly increased power of computers, and this has revolutionised the way in which statisticians can manipulate and analyse data. 'Applied Stochastic Modelling' collates all the basic tools for statistical modelling, identifying the primary principles that are currently used.



Students who already have a background in probability, statistics and statistical inference will appreciate the author's coverage of a wide range of modelling techniques, which shows them at work both in theory and practice. Examples are drawn from a variety of application areas using the popular MATLAB software. As such the book will prove a valuable reference for statisticians, modellors, research scientists and postgraduate students.

About this title

Review

I strongly recommend this book. It should serve as an ideal and illuminating introduction to stochastic modelling for the suggested target audience... it is a splendid achievement. (MSOR Connections, (reviewed by Jim Kay))

I enjoyed reading this book. It should appeal to a wide audience. (Short Book Reviews, Publication of the Internation)

This book deserves enthusiastic recommendation. (Statistical Papers 2002-04-01)

The book is a delight to read, reflecting the author's enthusiasm for the subject and his wide experience. The layout and presentation of material are excellent. Both for new research students and for experienced researchers needing to update their skills this is an excellent text and source of reference. (Statistical Methods in Medical Research 2002-04-01)

A useful tool for both applied statisticians and stochastic model users of other fields, such as biologists, sociologists, geologists and economists. (Zbl. MATH 2002-09-01)

...very well written, fresh in its style, with lots of wonderful examples
and problems. (Technometrics, (reviewed by R. P. Dolrow) 2002-09-01)
