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.

Differential Geometry and Statistics
1st Edition
By M.K. Murray, J.W. Rice
April 01, 1993
This book explains why geometry should enter into parametric statistics and how the theory of asymptotic expansions involves a form of higher-order differential geometry. It gives some new explanations of geometric ideas from a first principles point of view as far as geometry is concerned....
Inspection Errors for Attributes in Quality Control
1st Edition
By Norman L. Johnson, Samuel Kotz, Xi-Zhi Wu
June 01, 1991
This book provides a comprehensive survey of the most recent methodology--both theoretical and applied--on the statistical analysis and detection of defective/"non-conforming" items in various types of inspection for attributes, when the inspection itself is subject to error....
Queues
1st Edition
By D.R. Cox, Walter Smith
June 01, 1991
This is a classic book on Queues. First published in 1961 it is clearly and concisely introduces the theory of queueing systems and is still just as relevant today. The monograph is aimed at both students and operational research workers concerned with the practical investigations of queueing, ...
Generalized Additive Models
1st Edition
By T.J. Hastie, R.J. Tibshirani
June 01, 1990
This book describes an array of power tools for data analysis that are based on nonparametric regression and smoothing techniques. These methods relax the linear assumption of many standard models and allow analysts to uncover structure in the data that might otherwise have been missed. While ...
Generalized Linear Models
2nd Edition
By P. McCullagh, John A. Nelder
August 01, 1989
The success of the first edition of Generalized Linear Models led to the updated Second Edition, which continues to provide a definitive unified, treatment of methods for the analysis of diverse types of data. Today, it remains popular for its clarity, richness of content and direct relevance to ...
Analysis of Binary Data
2nd Edition
By D.R. Cox, E. J. Snell
May 15, 1989
The first edition of this book (1970) set out a systematic basis for the analysis of binary data and in particular for the study of how the probability of 'success' depends on explanatory variables. The first edition has been widely used and the general level and style have been preserved in the ...
Density Estimation for Statistics and Data Analysis
1st Edition
By Bernard. W. Silverman
April 01, 1986
Although there has been a surge of interest in density estimation in recent years, much of the published research has been concerned with purely technical matters with insufficient emphasis given to the technique's practical value. Furthermore, the subject has been rather inaccessible to the ...
Analysis of Survival Data
1st Edition
By D.R. Cox, David Oakes
June 01, 1984
This monograph contains many ideas on the analysis of survival data to present a comprehensive account of the field. The value of survival analysis is not confined to medical statistics, where the benefit of the analysis of data on such factors as life expectancy and duration of periods of freedom...
Point Processes
1st Edition
By D.R. Cox, Valerie Isham
July 17, 1980
This book describes the properties of stochastic probabilistic models and develops the applied mathematics of stochastic point processes. It is useful to students and research workers in probability and statistics and also to research workers wishing to apply stochastic point processes....
Statistical Inference
1st Edition
By S.D. Silvey
March 01, 1975
Statistics is a subject with a vast field of application, involving problems which vary widely in their character and complexity.However, in tackling these, we use a relatively small core of central ideas and methods. This book attempts to concentrateattention on these ideas: they are placed in a ...
