This Book Presents Modern Nonparametric Statistics from a Practical Point of View and Emphasises Methods in Regression and Curve Fitting.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c71706) has announced the addition of "Nonparametric Statistics With Applications to Science and Engineering" to their offering.This book presents modern nonparametric statistics from a practical point of view. It is primarily intended for use with engineers and scientists. While the book covers the necessary theorems and methods of rank tests in an applied fashion, the novelty lies in its emphasis on modern nonparametric methods in regression and curve fitting, bootstrap See boot. (operating system, compiler) bootstrap - To load and initialise the operating system on a computer. Normally abbreviated to "boot". From the curious expression "to pull oneself up by one's bootstraps", one of the legendary feats of Baron von Munchhausen. confidence intervals, splines, wavelets See wavelet compression. Wavelets The elementary building blocks in a mathematical tool for analyzing functions. The functions can be very diverse; examples are solutions of a differential equation, and one- and two-dimensional signals. , empirical and nonparametric likelihood, and goodness of fit Goodness of fit means how well a statistical model fits a set of observations. Measures of goodness of fit typically summarize the discrepancy between observed values and the values expected under the model in question. Such measures can be used in statistical hypothesis testing, e. testing. MATLAB (MATrix LABoratory) A programming language for technical computing from The MathWorks, Natick, MA (www.mathworks.com). Used for a wide variety of scientific and engineering calculations, especially for automatic control and signal processing, MATLAB runs on Windows, Mac and is the computing and programming system of choice throughout the book because of its special applicability for research analysis and simulation.
