Paperback. Condition: New. This book is about an intellectual fraud, one that has become part of legal doctrine that has greatly influenced decisions all the way up to the United States Supreme Court. The "efficient market hypothesis" (EMH), born from the Random Walk theory, started out as an honest attempt to improve insights into how financial markets work, but eventually became almost a religion that every financial economist had to buy into, or risk professional crucifixion. The EMH began over a half century ago. It posits that share prices reflect all available market information, and that it is impossible to consistently outperform the market. This theory dominated research in the academic financial community from the outset, and has continued to do so for decades. Meanwhile, the evidence for above-average profit-making opportunities in the markets has been unfairly suppressed.Written for practitioners in the business, finance and legal industries, this book outlines the major issues that gave rise to the fraud, focusing on the role of statistics in the rise of what the authors call the "New Finance." It details the developments and results of the exclusion of other theories from efficient markets research and highlights the problems arising from a dogmatic adherence to EMH.…

Satisfaction Guaranteed. This Festschrift honors Pro. James R. Thompson upon his retirement after a half-century of international intellectual leadership and service in the field of statistics. In it we provide personal reminiscences and original research articles contributed by his former students, collaborators and friends over this timeframe. Professor Thompson was Noah Harding Professor of Statistics at Rice University where he was the founding chairman of the Department of Statistics. A frequent consultant to government and the private sector, he held adjunct professorships at the MD Anderson Cancer Center and the University of Texas School of Public Health. He is a fellow of the American Statistical Society (ASA), the International Statistical Institute (ISI), and the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS). Dr. Thompson was the recipient of the Army Wilks Award for his work on defense-related data analysis and modeling, and was also the recipient of the ASA's Don Owen Award for his international work in statistical process control. As a researcher, he made pioneering contributions to our understanding of Statistical Model Building, Biomathematics, Quality Control and Computational Finance. He has performed ground breaking research in the AIDS epidemic and cancer modeling. Additionally he developed the SIMEST algorithm for creating multiple replicates of computer generated pseudo realities which can then be used for estimating the key parameters of the underlying model. Professor Thompson and his students have also developed algorithms that provide algebraic techniques for finding underlying structures of data sets of high dimensionality. He is the author of over 14 books, five of which were published by Wiley, and two by Chapman & Hall. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.…
