Cambridge University Press Nonparametric Estimation under Shape Constraints
Book SynopsisThis book treats the latest developments in the theory of order-restricted inference, with special attention to nonparametric methods and algorithmic aspects. Each chapter ends with a set of exercises of varying difficulty. The theory is illustrated with the analysis of real-life data, which are mostly medical in nature.Trade Review'Shape constraints arise naturally in many statistical applications and are becoming increasingly popular as a means of combining the best of the parametric and nonparametric worlds. This book, written by two experts in the field, gives a detailed treatment of many of their attractive features. I have no doubt it will be a valuable resource for researchers, students, and others interested in learning about this fascinating area.' Richard Samworth, University of Cambridge'I recommend this impressive book very enthusiastically to both young and senior researchers interested in shape-restricted nonparametric estimation. Closing an important gap in the literature, it contains not only classical material on nonparametric estimation of monotone functions in a series of application fields but also an introduction to advanced themes that are the topic of active ongoing research - in particular, estimation of convex functions, interval censoring, higher dimensional models, and other complex models in order-restricted inference. Interesting and enjoyable, the book clearly motivates models and methods by illustrative data examples and intuitive heuristic explanations of the necessary asymptotic mathematical theory, accompanied by clear and detailed proofs of the theory.' Enno Mammen, Institute of Applied Mathematics, Heidelberg University'A comprehensive study of the state of the art in nonparametric shape-restricted inference by two experts in the field. A clear-cut cogent presentation style, along with a careful exposition of the mathematics as well as the algorithmic aspects of the optimization problems involved, makes this a very well-rounded text that should prove an asset to both mathematically trained scientists seeking a rigorous exposure to the field and statistical researchers interested in the 'current status' of affairs in shape-restricted inference.' Moulinath Banerjee, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor'The book provides an up-to-date comprehensive review of both classical and new methods for shape constrained estimators. It does so in a clear and well-explained manner, including many real-world examples to motivate the methodology and theory. As such it contains a nice mix of theory and applications, and so should be of interest to both students and researchers. … I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book: it gives a detailed treatment of most relevant features of shape constrained estimation, and does so in a manner that makes it immensely readable, whether you are a novice or an expert in the area.' Dennis Kristensen, MathSciNet Mathematical Reviews (www.ams.org/mr-database)Table of Contents1. Introduction; 2. Basic estimation problems with monotonicity constraints; 3. Asymptotic theory for the basic monotone problems; 4. Other univariate problems involving monotonicity constraints; 5. Higher dimensional problems; 6. Lower bounds on estimation rates; 7.

Cambridge University Press The Risk Society at War
Book SynopsisThe means-end rationality that previously guided Western strategy is no longer relevant to the twenty-first century security environment. This book presents a framework for studying strategy in a time of risk and uses this framework to create a new theory of strategy.Trade Review'In illuminating detail, Rasmussen outlines how strategic thinking in the early twenty-first century has been reshaped by the concept of risk. This is a path-breaking book - original, insightful and uniquely important. I hope that politicians and generals alike will read it - they should.' Christopher Coker, Professor of International Relations, LSE'At last a book that connects military strategy into the debate on 'risk society'. Rasmussen should be read by everyone concerned with today's strategic dilemmas, as well as by social scientists interested in risk.' Martin Shaw, Professor of International Relations and Politics, University of Sussex'The overall quality of The Risk Society at War is testimony to the careful research and analysis that underpins the book. Weaving together various theoretical developments on risk research from otherwise disparate disciplines of sociology, criminology and international relations, and demonstrating their explanatory power in contemporary questions of war and question is itself a creditable achievement. … a valuable contribution to the existing IR literature on strategy and security.' Yee-Kuang Heng, Lecturer in International Relations, University of St Andrews'... offers a number of intriguing insights about the direction of strategy in the context of risk.' Journal of Politics' … useful to any reader interested in the changing aspects of warfare and should be requi]red reading for strategists of the twenty-first century.'

Cambridge University Press Food Energy and the Creation of Industriousness
Book SynopsisUntil the widespread harnessing of machine energy, food fuelled the economy. In this groundbreaking 2011 study of agricultural labourers' diet and material standard of living, Craig Muldrew uses new empirical research to present a fuller account of the interrelationship between consumption, living standards and work than has previously existed.Trade Review'This is certainly the most original and significant investigation of the living standards and working patterns of rural labourers in early modern England to appear for decades. It radically revises some previous assumptions, subtly nuances others, and raises new questions …' Keith Wrightson, Yale University'This excellent new study, based on impressive empirical research and inventive analysis, affords unprecedented insight on the working lives and standards of living of labouring people in early modern England. This book sheds important new light on consumption, agricultural improvement, and the 'industrious revolution' that predated industrialisation, and will prove indispensable to our assessment of the contribution of the labouring population to, as well as their experience of, economic change during a critical period of growth.' Alexandra Shepard, University of Glasgow'With this volume Craig Muldrew advances our understanding of living standards, industriousness, and the working lives of men, women, and children in rural England.' Journal of British Studies'Craig Muldrew's Food, Energy and the Creation of Industriousness … paints a picture of a moderately prosperous, hard-working population of wage earners, who made a decent living outside of the crisis periods of 1595–1630 and the late eighteenth century.

Cambridge University Press The Cambridge Economic History of Modern Europe Volume 1
Book SynopsisSetting European economic development within a unified, comparative and genuinely pan-European framework, this textbook surveys the transition to modern economic growth since 1700. Leading authors cover the major themes of modern economic history and compare economic development across countries in a clear and comprehensible way.Trade Review'The Cambridge Economic History of Modern Europe shows the power of economics to illuminate history. It adopts a continental standpoint that emphasizes the dominant patterns of European development as well as providing a comparative context that highlights national differences. The volume synthesizes the research of historical economists and growth theorists. The combination leads to a more profound understanding of the causes of economic success and failure than was previously available. This seriously good book is the first thing to read if you want to understand the economic history of Europe.' Robert C.
