State-space models with regime switching :classical and Gibbs-sampling approa…
"Both state-space models and Markov-switching models have been highly productive paths for empirical research in macroeconomics and finance. This book presents recent advances in econometric methods that make feasible the estimation of models that have both features. One approach, in the classical framework, approximates the likelihood function; the other, in the Bayesian framework, uses Gibbs-…

Stochastic Equations: Theory and Applications in Acoustics, Hydrodynamics, Ma…
In recent time, the interest of both theoreticians and experimenters has been attracted to the relation between the behavior of average statistical characteristics of a problem solution and the behavior of the solution in certain happenings (realizations). This is especially important for geophysical problems related to the atmosphere and ocean where, generally speaking, a respective averagi…

Elements of Probability and Statistics An Introduction to Probability with d…
This book provides an introduction to elementary probability and to Bayesian statistics using de Finetti's subjectivist approach. One of the features of this approach is that it does not require the introduction of sample space – a non-intrinsic concept that makes the treatment of elementary probability unnecessarily complicate – but introduces as fundamental the concept of random numbers d…
