Patterns of Data Modeling

Jean-Pierre Serre

Michael Blaha

Series: Research Notes in Mathematics

OMT Associates, Inc. Placida, Florida, USA

This book presents several basic techniques in algebraic geometry, group representations, number theory, ℓ-adic and standard cohomology, and modular forms. It explores how NX(p) varies with p when the family (X) of polynomial equations is fixed. The text examines the size and congruence properties of NX(p) and describes the ways in which it is computed. Along with covering open problems and offering simple, illustrative examples, the author presents various theorems, including the Chebotarev density theorem and the prime number theorem.

Helping readers avoid common mistakes and build better models, this is one of the first books to apply the popular patterns perspective to database systems and the data models that are used to design state-of-the-art, efficient database systems. It provides detailed data model patterns as a basis for expertly building data models. Since most commercial software is built around a database, the author focuses on databases rather than programming. He emphasizes how database representation sets the path for the software, determines its flexibility, affects its quality, and influences whether the software succeeds or fails.

Pattern Theory Metaharmonic Lattice Point Theory

The Stochastic Analysis of Real-World Signals David Mumford

Willi Freeden Technical University of Kaiserslautern, Germany

Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island, USA

Series: Chapman & Hall/CRC Pure and Applied Mathematics

Agnès Desolneux

This work covers interrelated methods and tools of spherically oriented geomathematics and periodically reflected analytic number theory. It establishes multidimensional Euler and Poisson summation formulas corresponding to elliptic operators for the adaptive determination and calculation of formulas and identities of weighted lattice point numbers, in particular the nonuniform distribution of lattice points. The book presents multidimensional techniques for periodization, describes weighted lattice point and ball numbers in georelevant “potato-like” regions, and discusses radial and angular nonuniform lattice point distribution.

Pattern theory is a field in applied mathematics that analyzes all types of signals that the world presents to us. In each chapter of this book, the authors present a real-world problem—a class of signals that we want to model. Then they present the basic mathematical tools needed before moving into the model. The model is then compared with the original data. Each chapter ends with a set of exercises. Discussions of images include recognizing characters, textures, nature scenes, and human faces.

Spatial mathematics and analysis, two different approaches to scholarship, yield different results and employ different tools. This book explores both approaches for looking at real-world issues that have mathematics as a critical, but often unseen, component. Readers learn the mathematics required to consider the broad problem at hand, rather than learning mathematics according to the determination of a (perhaps) artificial curriculum. This format motivates readers to explore diverse realms in the worlds of geography and mathematics and in their interfaces.

This book covers an extensive range of topics related to visual cryptography techniques and secure image sharing solutions. It addresses sharing multiple secrets and visual cryptography schemes based on the probabilistic reconstruction of the secret image, including pictures in the distributed shares, contrast enhancement techniques, visual cryptography schemes based on different logical operations for combining shared images, cheating prevention, and the alignment problem for image shares. The book also describes practical applications, steganography, and authentication. Case studies demonstrate the effectiveness of the techniques.

Cryptography encompasses much more than secret communications, from message authentication, digital signatures, protocols for exchanging secret keys, and authentication protocols to electronic auctions and elections and digital cash. This book covers four kinds of major modern cryptography and their applications: proxy re-cryptography, attribute-based cryptography, batch cryptography, and noncommutative cryptography, including both concrete schemes and the theory of provable security. It focuses on the core concept that cryptography is developed for application requirements.

Building on the author’s previous book in the series, this work focuses on four infinite representations: series expansions, series of fractions for meromorphic functions, infinite products for functions with infinitely many zeros, and continued fractions as alternative representations. The book also continues the application of complex functions to more classes of fields, including incompressible rotational flows, compressible irrotational flows, unsteady flows, rotating flows, surface tension and capillarity, deflection of membranes under load, torsion of rods by torques, plane elasticity, and plane viscous flows.

Understanding Physics and Physical Chemistry Using Formal Graphs

A Course in Ordinary Differential Equations Randall J. Swift California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, USA

LEPMI, St. Martin d’Heres, France

Arizona State University, Glendale, USA

This book introduces a new graphs-based language called Formal Graphs for representing the mathematical equations found in a large number of scientific domains, including mechanics, physical chemistry, dynamics, solid state physics, rheology, surface energy, electrochemistry, and chemical reactivity. This elementary approach consists of drawing links and nodes on a graph, instead of writing algebraic equations. The graphs encourage a visual, unified comprehension of the relationships between physical concepts and variables, properties, and operators.

Featuring real-world applications from engineering and science, this is the first book on ODEs to include relevant computer code and instructions on MATLAB®, Mathematica®, and Maple™. The book embeds the computer algebra code throughout, presenting the syntax next to the relevant theory. It fully describes approximations used to obtain numerical solutions. The authors also explain how to use these programs to solve ODEs and to qualitatively understand autonomous ODEs. Numerous appendices supplement learning.

Most textbooks explain quantum mechanics as a story where each step follows naturally from the one preceding it. However, the development of quantum mechanics was exactly the opposite. This book demonstrates the huge practical utility of another of these routes in explaining quantum phenomena in various research fields. Bohmian mechanics—the formulation of the quantum theory pioneered by Louis de Broglie and David Bohm—offers an alternative mathematical formulation of quantum phenomena in terms of quantum trajectories. It sheds light on the limits and extensions of our understanding of quantum mechanics toward other paradigms, such as relativity and cosmology. Catalog no.

Self-Field Theory

Computational Fluid Dynamics

A New Mathematical Description of Physics

Edited by

Tony Fleming Biophotonics Research Institute, Highett, Australia

Series: Chapman & Hall/CRC Numerical Analysis and Scientific Computing

This is the first text on the topic of self-field theory (SFT)—a new mathematical description of physics distinct from quantum field theory (QFT), the physical theory of choice by physicists at the present time. SFT is a recent development that has evolved from the classical electromagnetics of the electron’s self-fields that were studied by Abraham and Lorentz. Due to its bi-spinorial motions for particles and fields that obviate uncertainty, SFT is capable of obtaining closedform solution for all atomic structures rather than the probabilistic solutions of QFT.

Exploring new variations of classical methods as well as recent approaches appearing in the field, this book demonstrates the extensive use of numerical techniques and mathematical models in fluid mechanics. It covers finite volume, finite difference, finite element, spectral, smoothed particle hydrodynamics, mixed-element-volume, and free surface flow methods, along with many realworld applications. The contributors show how the SPH-ALE method properly represents highly distorted interfaces and dynamic flows. They also describe the solution of complex flow problems.

Rough Multiple Objective Decision Making

Joel A. Nachlas

Jiuping Xu and Zhimiao Tao

Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, USA

Sichuan University, Chengdu, China

Suitable for a first course in probability theory, this textbook includes numerous practical examples based on engineering applications. The book begins with a summary of set theory and then introduces probability and its axioms. It covers conditional probability, independence, and approximations. An important aspect of the text is the fact that examples are not presented in terms of “balls in urns.” Many examples relate to gambling with coins, dice, and cards but most are based on observable physical phenomena familiar to engineering students. A solutions manual and figure slides are available upon qualifying course adoption.

This book applies rough set theory and rough approximation technique to real-world MODM problems. The authors present several techniques in rough approximation and apply them to case studies in engineering, such as particle swarms and transportation. Progressing from theory to application, the text covers rough set theory, probability theory, and fuzzy set theory; multiple objective rough decision making, bi-level, multiple objective rough decision making, stochastic multiple objective rough decision making, and fuzzy multiple objective rough decision making; and the simulated-based intelligent algorithm.

Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, China

Vladimir I. Rotar

Series: Systems Evaluation, Prediction, and Decision-Making

San Diego State University, California, USA

The question of how to aggregate structural uncertainties of multiple variables to determine the group preference (on the basis of the complexity of group decision-making) is a problem that urgently waits for a resolution. This book expresses the complexity existing in each group decision-making process by employing complex networks and studying various methods of aggregating preference information from various unascertained, time-series-based decisionmaking groups’ structures. It covers the decision-making mechanism of unascertained preference information and various methods of aggregating preference information in dynamic environments.

This book not only covers all the topics found in a traditional introductory probability course, but also emphasizes stochastic modeling, including Markov chains, birth-death processes, and reliability models. Unlike most undergraduatelevel probability texts, the book also focuses on increasingly important areas, such as martingales, classification of dependency structures, and risk evaluation. Numerous examples, exercises, and models using real-world data demonstrate the practical possibilities and restrictions of different approaches and help students grasp general concepts and theoretical results.

Mathematical Card Tricks

Stories from Mathematics

Fifty-Two New Effects

Guenter M. Ziegler

Colm Mulcahy

Freie Universität Berlin, Germany

Spelman College, Atlanta, Georgia, USA

In this book of mathematical stories, the well-known and highly esteemed author provides a surprisingly entertaining tour of unfamiliar territory. He describes stories about numbers, problems, people who do math, and the places where mathematical discoveries are made (such as desks, libraries, beds, and churches). You’ll discover that counting can be quite difficult—for example, news reports claiming that “bees can count” show that journalists can’t count and people who shun 13 must assume that gods can’t count.

Featuring numerous original creations, this book presents an entertaining look at mathematically based card tricks. The effects in each chapter are rated in four key areas: ease of performance, whether any setup is needed, how much mathematics is involved, and how well it appeals to a general audience. In addition, each chapter highlights the effect with the best use of the mathematical principle involved. Three chapters address the growing field of two-person “mathemagic,” which uses subtle information theory principles to communicate.

The Curiosities of a Mathematical Crystal Ball

Fabrizio Palombi

Leonard M. Wapner

University of Calabria, Italy

El Camino College, Torrance, California, USA

This book is the first study of Gian-Carlo Rota’s philosophical reflection examined in the light of Husserlian Fundierung (foundation), technological conquests, and the debate that has characterized the connection between science and mathematics in the second half of the twentieth century. Authored by one of Rota’s students, the text provides a complete bibliography of Rota’s philosophical writings. Readers interested in contemporary philosophy, epistemology, psychology, mathematics, and science in general will enjoy this essential introduction to the reflections of a great intellectual.

This work takes readers through mathematical paradoxes associated with seemingly straightforward applications of mathematical expectation and shows how these unexpected contradictions may push one to reconsider the legitimacy of the applications. Requiring only an understanding of basic algebraic operations, the book covers the roles of aversion and risk in rational decision making, envelope problems, Parrondo’s paradox, problems associated with imperfect recall, non-zero-sum games, Newcomb’s paradox, and the use of Benford’s law in computer design and fraud detection.

This book presents the continual reassessment method (CRM) as a tool for dosefinding studies. With a focus on the implementation and practice of the CRM and its variations, it explains how the CRM may be calibrated and extended to suit common clinical settings. The book includes examples of real clinical trials data to illustrate the calibration techniques and shows how R can be used to carry out the techniques. It reviews the literature, related methodology, and theoretical properties of the CRM. It also explores alternatives for situations where the CRM fails.

Through real-world case studies, this book shows how to use Stata to estimate a class of flexible parametric survival models. It discusses the modeling of timedependent and continuous covariates and looks at how relative survival can be used to measure mortality associated with a particular disease when the cause of death has not been recorded. The book describes simple quantification of differences between any two covariate patterns through calculation of timedependent hazard ratios, hazard differences, and survival differences.

The BUGS Book Statistical Geoinformatics for Human Environment Interface Wayne L. Myers and Ganapati P. Patil The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, USA Series: Chapman & Hall/CRC Applied Environmental Statistics

Illustrating the interdisciplinary nature of geoinformatics, this book presents two paradigms (localization and multiple indicators) for the spatial analysis of human influences and environmental resources. The first approach localizes thematic targets by treating space as a pattern of vicinities, with the pattern being a square grid and the placement of vicinities centrically referenced. The second approach explores human/environment interface as an abstraction through indicators, neutralizing the common conundrum of how to reconcile disparate spatial structures such as points, lines, and polygons.

Serguei Y. Novak

Series: Chapman & Hall/CRC Monographs on Statistics and Applied Probability

Despite the introduction of constrained principal component analysis (CPCA) over 20 years ago, there is no single resource that examines its ramifications, extensions, implementations, and applications. This book explores how CPCA incorporates external information into PCA of a main data matrix. It provides a systematic, in-depth account of the mathematical underpinnings, special cases, related topics, interesting applications, and implementation details. The author explains how CPCA first decomposes the data matrix according to the external information (external analysis) and then applies PCA to decomposed matrices (internal analysis).

Extreme value theory (EVT) provides tools for assessing the risk of highly unusual developments, such as financial market crashes. This book presents a synthesis of recent research, with emphasis on dependent observations. It concentrates on modern topics, such as compound Poisson approximation, processes of exceedances, and nonparametric estimation methods, which have not been focused on in similar books. Along with examples from finance and insurance that illustrate the methods, the book includes over 200 exercises, making it useful as a reference book, self-study tool, or course text.

Integrating a contemporary approach to econometrics with the powerful computational tools of Stata, this introduction illustrates how to apply econometric theories used in modern empirical research using Stata. The author emphasizes the role of method-of-moments estimators, hypothesis testing, and specification analysis and provides practical examples that show how to apply the theories to real data sets. The book first builds familiarity with the basic skills needed to work with econometric data in Stata before delving into the core topics, which range from the multiple linear regression model to instrumentalvariables estimation.

This book discusses methods for efficient estimation in models defined by unconditional and conditional moment restrictions, inference in misspecified models, generalized empirical likelihood estimators, and alternative asymptotic approximations. The first chapter provides a general overview of established nonparametric and parametric approaches to estimation and conventional frameworks for statistical inference. The next several chapters focus on the estimation of models based on moment restrictions implied by economic theory. The final chapters cover nonconventional asymptotic tools that lead to improved finite-sample inference.

The text moves the concept of optimization from an academic setting to an industry platform yet gives a balanced treatment of classical methods, making it suitable for an undergraduate course.

Parameter estimation of sinusoids in noise is a classic problem, yet this problem still attracts attention in the statistical and engineering literature due to the seemingly endless possibility of alternative solutions to the problem. For the first time, this book provides a systematic and up-to-date survey of various important methods developed for parameter estimation of sinusoids in noise. This selfcontained, graduate-level book develops numerous methods and algorithms and balances their explanations with theoretical analysis. The author emphasizes intuition and interpretation behind the theoretical reasoning and results.

Non-randomized Response Techniques for Sensitive Questions in Surveys Guo-Liang Tian The University of Hong Kong

Man-Lai Tang

Korea University, Seoul, South Korea

Hong Kong Baptist University

This book explains the basic terminology used to discuss experiments and takes a brief look at the more than 150-year history of experiments in psychology. It covers how to generalize from a few people to the whole population. The largest part of the book is dedicated to the most flexible, and arguably the most central, aspect of an experiment: what do the participants do? Each chapter follows the same structure and includes two examples, one from traditional psychophysics and one using computer animated facial expressions as stimuli.

Unlike the established randomized response (RR) technique, non-randomized response (NRR) techniques yield reproducible results in survey design and analysis. This book presents new techniques designed to overcome the bias inherent in posing sensitive questions in sociological or behavioral science surveys, without requiring a means of randomization. The authors provide a systematic introduction to NRR techniques that can overcome the limitations of RR techniques, combining the strengths of existing approaches, such as RR models, incomplete data design, expectation-maximization algorithm, data augmentation algorithm, and bootstrap method.

Network and Adaptive Sampling Techniques

Series: Chapman & Hall/CRC Statistics in the Social and Behavioral Sciences

Arijit Chaudhuri

Drawing on the authors’ extensive research in the analysis of categorical longitudinal data, this book focuses on the formulation of latent Markov models and the practical use of these models. It demonstrates how to use the models in three types of analysis, with numerous examples illustrating how latent Markov models are used in economics, education, sociology, and other fields. The R and MATLAB® routines used for the examples are available on the authors’ website.

Combining the two statistical techniques of network sampling and adaptive sampling, this book illustrates the advantages of using them in tandem to effectively capture sparsely located elements in unknown pockets. It shows how network sampling is a reliable guide in capturing inaccessible entities through linked auxiliaries. The text also explores how adaptive sampling is strengthened in information content through subsidiary sampling with devices to mitigate unmanageable expanding sample sizes. Empirical data illustrates the applicability of both methods.

A Statistical Guide for the Ethically Perplexed Lawrence Hubert University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, USA

Rand Wilcox

Howard Wainer

University of Southern California, Los Angeles, USA

National Board of Medical Examiners, Pennsylvania, USA

Designed for a two-semester, introductory course for graduate students in the social sciences, this text introduces three major insights: 1) justifying normality via the central limit theorem can require much larger sample sizes than once thought; 2) the impact of heavy-tailed distributions on power, measures of effect size, and measures of association can be devastating even with large sample sizes; and 3) heteroscedasticity can invalidate classic methods. It also provides a library of R functions for applying modern methods that effectively deal with these insights. Figure slides are available upon qualifying course adoption.

Exploring the intersection of ethics and statistics, this comprehensive guide illustrates the proper use of probabilistic and statistical reasoning in the behavioral, social, and biomedical sciences. Lauded for their contributions to statistics, psychology, and psychometrics, the authors make statistical methods relevant to readers’ day-to-day lives by including real historical situations that demonstrate the role of statistics in reasoning and decision making. In addition, seven U.S. Supreme Court decisions reflect the influence of statistical and psychometric reasoning and interpretation/misinterpretation.
