Statistical Causal Inferences and Their Applications in Public Health Research

This book originated from a series of discussions among the editors when we were all at the University of Rochester, NY, before 2015. At that time, we had a research discussion group under the leadership of Professor Xin M. Tu that met biweekly to discuss the methodological development on statistical causal inferences and their applications to public health data. In this group, we got a clo…

Modern Methodology and Applications in Spatial-Temporal Modeling

This book provides a modern introductory tutorial on specialized methodological and applied aspects of spatial and temporal modeling. The areas covered involve a range of topics which reflect the diversity of this domain of research across a number of quantitative disciplines. For instance, the first chapter deals with non-parametric Bayesian inference via a recently developed framework known a…

These proceedings would also not be possible without the successful symposium, which gave us the opportunity to share, learn, and choose so many high-quality papers. Our deep gratitude goes to the leadership of Naitee Ting and the executive organizing committee, the program committee, and many other volunteers of t…

Statistical Analysis for High-Dimensional Data

The Norwegian government established the Abel Prize in mathematics in 2002, and the first prize was awarded in 2003. In addition to honoring the great Norwegian mathematician Niels Henrik Abel by awarding an international prize for outstanding scientific work in the field of mathematics, the prize shall contribute toward raising the status of mathematics in society and stimulate the interes…

Statistical Analysis and Data Display

Students seeking master’s degrees in applied statistics in the late 1960s and 1970s typically took a year-long sequence in statistical methods. Popular choices of the course textbook in that period prior to the availability of high-speed computing and graphics capability were those authored by Snedecor and Cochran (1980) and Steel and Torrie (1960).

Statics of Historic Masonry Constructions

Masonry constructions are the majority of the buildings in Europe’s historic centers and the most important monuments in its architectural heritage. Given the age of much of these constructions, the demand for safety assessments and restoration projects is pressing and constant. Nevertheless, there is a lack of a widely accepted approach to studying the statics of masonry structures. Simp…

Statics and Rotational Dynamics of Composite Beams

A helicopter, with its capability of vertical take-off and landing, is a crucial means of aerial transportation. In fire-fighting rescue operations and missions for helping survivors of an earthquake or an avalanche, helicopters have played vital roles. The expansion of the domain of the application of helicopters, however, faces a few serious constraints; among them is the relatively poor r…

Statics-Learning from Engineering Examples

Mathematical and physical theories cannot be used directly to solve real-life problems because models (theories) take into account only the most important physical quantities and cannot account for each particular characteristic of the given problem. The real-life engineering problems usually deal with objects of complicated geometrical configuration that cannot be easily modeled. Thus, si…

Modelling in Life Insurance – A Management Perspective

Focusing on life insurance and pensions, this book addresses various aspects of modelling in modern insurance: insurance liabilities; asset-liability management; securitization, hedging, and investment strategies. With contributions from internationally renowned academics in actuarial science, finance, and management science and key people in major life insurance and reinsurance companies, ther…
