Modern apparatuses allow us to collect samples of functional data, mainly curves but also images. On the other hand, nonparametric statistics produces useful tools for standard data exploration. This book links these two fields of modern statistics by explaining how functional data can be studied through parameter-free statistical ideas. At the same time it shows how functional data can be studied through parameter-free statistical ideas, and offers an original presentation of new nonparametric statistical methods for functional data analysis.

This book presents theoretical methods and experimental results on the study of multipartite quantum correlations in spin-squeezed BoseEinstein condensates. Nonclassical correlations in many-body systems are particularly interesting for both fundamental research and practical applications. For their investigation, ultracold atomic ensembles offer an ideal platform, due to their high controllability and long coherence times. In particular, we introduce criteria for detecting and characterizing multipartite entanglement, EinsteinPodolskyRosen steering, and Bell correlations. Moreover, we present the experimental observation of such correlations in systems of about 600 atoms.

Praise for the Fourth Edition "As with previous editions, the authors have produced a leading textbook on regression." Journal of the American Statistical Association A comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to the fundamentals of regression analysis Introduction to Linear Regression Analysis, Fifth Edition continues to present both the conventional and less common uses of linear regression in today s cutting-edge scientific research. The authors blend both theory and application to equip readers with an understanding of the basic principles needed to apply regression model-building techniques in various fields of study, including engineering, management, and the health sciences. Following a general introduction to regression modeling, including typical applications, a host of technical tools are outlined such as basic inference procedures, introductory aspects of model adequacy checking, and polynomial regression models and their variations. The book then discusses how transformations and weighted least squares can be used to resolve problems of model inadequacy and also how to deal with influential observations. The Fifth Edition features numerous newly added topics, including: A chapter on regression analysis of time series data that presents the Durbin-Watson test and other techniques for detecting autocorrelation as well as parameter estimation in time series regression models Regression models with random effects in addition to a discussion on subsampling and the importance of the mixed model Tests on individual regression coefficients and subsets of coefficients Examples of current uses of simple linear regression models and the use of multiple regression models for understanding patient satisfaction data. In addition to Minitab, SAS, and S-PLUS, the authors have incorporated JMP and the freely available R software to illustrate the discussed techniques and procedures in this new edition. Numerous exercises have been added throughout, allowing readers to test their understanding of the material. Introduction to Linear Regression Analysis, Fifth Edition is an excellent book for statistics and engineering courses on regression at the upper-undergraduate and graduate levels. The book also serves as a valuable, robust resource for professionals in the fields of engineering, life and biological sciences, and the social sciences.

Ostebee and Zorn'' s approach applies reform principles to a rigorous calculus text. Conceptual understanding is the main goal of the text, and looking at mathematics from many representations (graphical, symbolic, numerical) is the main strategy for achieving this type of understanding. The key strengths of the text include combining symbolic manipulation with graphical and numerical representation, exercises of a varied nature and difficulty, and explanations written to be understandable to student readers.A student-friendly and approachable tone, numerous examples, critical-thinking questions, and supportive details and commentary help students successfully read and use the text.Representation of mathematical concepts through a variety of viewpoints supports different learning styles.Proofs presented at point of use contribute significantly to helping students understand rigorous calculus concepts and develop analytic skills."Further Exercises are a little more ambitious and may requirethe synthesis of several ideas, a deeper or more sophisticated understanding of basic concepts, or the use of a computer algebra system such as ...

How do you bring real world scenarios into your course? Or would you like to? Business Snapshots (about 60 in total, found in almost all chapters) - Carefully thought out and integrated into the main material in chapters. *Describe real world situations and interesting issues that are highlighted to illustrate points being made throughout the text. Completely revised chapters on credit risk and credit derivatives (Ch 20 and 21) - Reflects market developments. *Makes these chapters in this edition more straightforward and easier to teach. Opening six chapters have been replaced by seven chapters that cover forward, futures, and swaps in a more student-friendly way. *The main change here is that the chapter on interest rates has been split into two chapters, one devoted to the math involving interest rates, the other to interest rate futures contracts and how they are used in hedging, which will be easier for students to grasp. More discussion of how models can be implemented in Excel - Monte Carlo simulation in Chapter 17, GARCH models in Chapter 19, and the variance-gamma model in Chapter 24.*Includes examples in the book and Excel spreadsheets on Web site to illustrate applications. A series of Technical Notes - Available on the author's Web site to accompany the book. *Creates a streamlined and more student friendly presentation by including less purely technical material in the book. Separate chapter on Convexity, Timing, and Quanto adjustments. *Affords succinct and targeted coverage of these concepts for deeper coverage students need. New topics *For example, the size of derivatives markets is discussed in Chapter 1, Basel II is discussed in Chapter 20, and the variance-gamma model is covered in Chapter 24. More in-depth coverage *For example, convexity adjustments to Eurodollar futures in Chapter 5, copula models in Chapters 20 and 21, and executive stock options in Chapters 8 and 13
