Chapman & Hall/CRC Monographs on Statistics and Applied Probability
About the Book Series
Since its inception in 1960 under the leadership of Sir David R. Cox, the series has established itself as a leading outlet for monographs presenting advances in statistical and applied probability research. With over 150 books published - over 100 still in print - the series has gained a reputation for outstanding quality.
The scope of the series is wide, incorporating developments in statistical methodology of relevance to a range of application areas. The monographs in the series present succinct and authoritative overviews of methodology, often with an emphasis on application through worked examples and software for their implementation. They are written so as to be accessible to graduate students, researchers and practitioners of statistics, as well as quantitative scientists from the many relevant areas of application.
Please contact us if you have an idea for a book for the series.

Analyzing and Modeling Rank Data
1st Edition
By John I Marden
August 01, 1996
This book is the first single source volume to fully address this prevalent practice in both its analytical and modeling aspects. The information discussed presents the use of data consisting of rankings in such diverse fields as psychology, animal science, educational testing, sociology, ...
Local Polynomial Modelling and Its Applications: Monographs on Statistics and Applied Probability 66
1st Edition
By Jianqing Fan, Irene Gijbels
March 01, 1996
Data-analytic approaches to regression problems, arising from many scientific disciplines are described in this book. The aim of these nonparametric methods is to relax assumptions on the form of a regression function and to let data search for a suitable function that describes the data well. The...
Nonlinear Models for Repeated Measurement Data
1st Edition
By Marie Davidian, David .M. Giltinan
June 01, 1995
Nonlinear measurement data arise in a wide variety of biological and biomedical applications, such as longitudinal clinical trials, studies of drug kinetics and growth, and the analysis of assay and laboratory data. Nonlinear Models for Repeated Measurement Data provides the first unified ...
Distribution-Free Statistical Methods, Second Edition
2nd Edition
By J.S. Maritz
April 01, 1995
Distribution-free statistical methods enable users to make statistical inferences with minimum assumptions about the population in question. They are widely used, especially in the areas of medical and psychological research.This new edition is aimed at senior undergraduate and graduate level. It ...
Kernel Smoothing
1st Edition
By M.P. Wand, M.C. Jones
December 01, 1994
Kernel smoothing refers to a general methodology for recovery of underlying structure in data sets.The basic principle is that local averaging or smoothing is performed with respect to a kernel function. This book provides uninitiated readers with a feeling for the principles, applications, and ...
Statistics for Long-Memory Processes
1st Edition
By Jan Beran
October 01, 1994
Statistical Methods for Long Term Memory Processes covers the diverse statistical methods and applications for data with long-range dependence. Presenting material that previously appeared only in journals, the author provides a concise and effective overview of probabilistic foundations, ...
An Introduction to the Bootstrap
1st Edition
By Bradley Efron, R.J. Tibshirani
May 15, 1994
Statistics is a subject of many uses and surprisingly few effective practitioners. The traditional road to statistical knowledge is blocked, for most, by a formidable wall of mathematics. The approach in An Introduction to the Bootstrap avoids that wall. It arms scientists and engineers, as well as...
Inference and Asymptotics
1st Edition
By D.R. Cox, O.E. Barndorff-Nielsen
March 01, 1994
This book provides a systematic account of some developments in asymptotic parametric inference from a likelihood-based perspective. It focuses on first-order asymptotic theory, and discusses the need for higher-order theory....
Practical Risk Theory for Actuaries
1st Edition
By C.D. Daykin, T. Pentikainen, Martti Pesonen
December 01, 1993
This classic textbook covers all aspects of risk theory in a practical way. It builds on from the late R.E. Beard's extremely popular book Risk Theory, but features more emphasis on simulation and modeling and on the use of risk theory as a practical tool. Practical Risk Theory is a textbook for ...
Markov Models & Optimization
1st Edition
By M.H.A. Davis
August 01, 1993
This book presents a radically new approach to problems of evaluating and optimizing the performance of continuous-time stochastic systems. This approach is based on the use of a family of Markov processes called Piecewise-Deterministic Processes (PDPs) as a general class of stochastic system ...
Nonparametric Regression and Generalized Linear Models: A roughness penalty approach
1st Edition
By P.J. Green, Bernard. W. Silverman
May 01, 1993
In recent years, there has been a great deal of interest and activity in the general area of nonparametric smoothing in statistics. This monograph concentrates on the roughness penalty method and shows how this technique provides a unifying approach to a wide range of smoothing problems. The method...
