Book Description
Mathematicians and statisticians from North America, Europe, Asia, and the Middle East synthesize the recent literature on statistical methods. Their topics include a family of estimators for the coefficient of determination in linear regression models, the quasi- random sequences in the random processes modeling algorithms, locating a change point in a Gaussian model when an outlier is present, the classical and Bayesian reliability estimation of the negative binomial distribution, a shrinkage estimation of the exponential reliability with censored data, and optimal equivariant vector prediction in location families.
