Mathematical Methods in Engineering


Book Description

This book contains some of the contributions that have been carefully selected and peer-reviewed, which were presented at the International Symposium MME06 Mathematical Methods in Engineering, held in Cankaya University, Ankara, April 2006. The Symposium provided a setting for discussing recent developments in Fractional Mathematics, Neutrices and Generalized Functions, Boundary Value Problems, Applications of Wavelets, Dynamical Systems and Control Theory.







Theory of Distributions


Book Description

This book explains many fundamental ideas on the theory of distributions. The theory of partial differential equations is one of the synthetic branches of analysis that combines ideas and methods from different fields of mathematics, ranging from functional analysis and harmonic analysis to differential geometry and topology. This presents specific difficulties to those studying this field. This book, which consists of 10 chapters, is suitable for upper undergraduate/graduate students and mathematicians seeking an accessible introduction to some aspects of the theory of distributions. It can also be used for one-semester course.




Introduction to the Theory of Distributions


Book Description

The second edition of a classic graduate text on the theory of distributions.




The Theory of Distributions


Book Description

A self-contained mathematical introduction that concentrates on the essential results important to non-specialists.




The Algebra of Random Variables


Book Description

Differentiation and integration in the complex plane; The distribution of sums and differences of Random variables; The distribution of products and quotients of Random variables; The distribution of algebraic functions of independent Random variables; The distribution of algebraic functions of independent H-function variables; Analytical model for evaluation of the H-function inversion integral; Approximating the distribution of an algebraic function of independent random variables; Distribution problems in statistics.




Partial Identification of Probability Distributions


Book Description

The book presents in a rigorous and thorough manner the main elements of Charles Manski's research on partial identification of probability distributions. The approach to inference that runs throughout the book is deliberately conservative and thoroughly nonparametric. There is an enormous scope for fruitful inference using data and assumptions that partially identify population parameters.




Probability Distributions Used in Reliability Engineering


Book Description

The book provides details on 22 probability distributions. Each distribution section provides a graphical visualization and formulas for distribution parameters, along with distribution formulas. Common statistics such as moments and percentile formulas are followed by likelihood functions and in many cases the derivation of maximum likelihood estimates. Bayesian non-informative and conjugate priors are provided followed by a discussion on the distribution characteristics and applications in reliability engineering.




A Primer on Statistical Distributions


Book Description

Designed as an introduction to statistical distribution theory. * Includes a first chapter on basic notations and definitions that are essential to working with distributions. * Remaining chapters are divided into three parts: Discrete Distributions, Continuous Distributions, and Multivariate Distributions. * Exercises are incorporated throughout the text in order to enhance understanding of materials just taught.




Normal and Student ́s t Distributions and Their Applications


Book Description

The most important properties of normal and Student t-distributions are presented. A number of applications of these properties are demonstrated. New related results dealing with the distributions of the sum, product and ratio of the independent normal and Student distributions are presented. The materials will be useful to the advanced undergraduate and graduate students and practitioners in the various fields of science and engineering.
