Jonathan P. Dowling

Edward S. Popko

Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, USA

Written by a renowned quantum physicist, this book presents an inside look at the U.S. government’s quest to build a quantum computer capable of solving complex mathematical problems and hacking the public-key encryption codes used to secure the Internet. The “killer app” refers to Shor’s quantum factoring algorithm, which would unveil the encrypted communications of the entire Internet if a quantum computer could be built to run the algorithm.

Schrödinger’s notion of quantum entanglement (and his infamous cat) is at the heart of it all.

Risk Management and Simulation

Beyond Quantum Edited by

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, New York, USA

Linnaeus University, Sweden

The challenges of the financial environment have revealed the need for a new generation of professionals who combine training in traditional finance disciplines with an understanding of sophisticated quantitative and analytical tools. This book shows how simulation modeling and analysis can help solve problems of risk management related to market, credit, operational, business, and strategic risk. Making simulation accessible, the author walks readers through the concepts, models, and computational techniques.

The present wave of interest in quantum foundations is caused by the tremendous development of quantum information science and its applications to quantum computing and quantum communication. Some of the difficulties encountered in realizations of quantum information processing have roots at the very fundamental level. To solve such problems, quantum theory has to be reconsidered. This book is devoted to the analysis of the probabilistic structure of quantum theory, probing the limits of classical probabilistic representation of quantum phenomena.

Sushanta Dattagupta

Xavier Oriols Pladevall and Jordi Mompart

Indian Institute of Science Education & Research, West Bengal

Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Bellaterra, Spain

Within a unifying framework, this book covers both classical and quantum domains, along with numerous applications. The author explores the more than two centuries-old history of diffusion, expertly weaving together a variety of topics from physics, mathematics, chemistry, and biology. He describes the role of diffusion in probability theory and stochastic calculus and discusses topics in materials science and metallurgy.

He also addresses the impact of translational/rotational diffusion on experimental data, covers reaction-diffusion equations in biology, and examines diffusion in the quantum domain.

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. This book demonstrates the huge practical utility of another of Bohmian mechanics in explaining quantum phenomena in various research fields. It sheds light on the limits and extensions of our understanding of quantum mechanics toward other paradigms, such as relativity and cosmology.

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

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.

Statistical Theory & Methods

Textbook

This book is a philosophical study of statistics via the concept of data approximation. The book shows how the models are, at best, an approximation of real data and any analysis must take this into account. The approach is therefore closely related to robust statistics and nonparametric statistics and can be used to study nearly any statistical technique. The last chapter presents an interesting discussion of the frequentist versus Bayesian debate in statistics.

Richly Parameterized Linear Models

Sequential Analysis

Additive, Time Series, and Spatial Models Using Random Effects James S. Hodges

Hypothesis Testing and Change-Point Detection Michele Basseville IRISA, Rennes, France

Igor Nikiforov

Series: Chapman & Hall/CRC Texts in Statistical Science

Using mixed linear models to analyze data often leads to results that are mysterious, inconvenient, or wrong. Further compounding the problem, statisticians lack a cohesive resource to acquire a systematic, theorybased understanding of models with random effects. This book takes a first step in developing a full theory of richly parameterized models, which would allow statisticians to better understand their analysis results. It examines what is known and unknown about mixed linear models and identifies research opportunities.

A Unified Approach Based on R and Stata Francesco Bartolucci, Silvia Bacci, and Michela Gnaldi Series: Chapman & Hall/CRC Interdisciplinary Statistics

Mirroring the growing interest and use of statistical methods and software in education, health, and marketing, this book focuses on the statistical methods used to analyze and validate questionnaires adopted in these fields. The book features an applied approach to conducting testing and measurement. The chapters build from foundations of classical measurement theory, test reliability, and validity and scaling to item response theory (IRT) fundamentals and IRT for dichotomous and polytomous items to the most recent IRT extensions.

Spatial Analysis Methods of Road Traffic Crashes

A Statistical Guide for the Ethically Perplexed

Becky P.Y. Loo and Tessa Anderson

Lawrence Hubert

The University of Hong Kong

University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, USA

An interdisciplinary account of the spatial analytical approaches to road traffic crashes, this book draws on the computational advances of GIS to discuss the economic, social, and scientific importance of road safety measures and traffic management. It begins with an examination of the geographical concepts of risk and then provides an overview of different types of analysis on road crashes. Lastly, it examines methods for road crash reduction and prevention. The book outlines current methodologies and approaches in a systematic and empirical way.

Howard Wainer National Board of Medical Examiners, Pennsylvania, USA

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.
