Cambridge University Press Statistical Models 11 Cambridge Series in Statistical and Probabilistic Mathematics Series Number 11
Book SynopsisModels and likelihood are the backbone of modern statistics. This 2003 book gives an integrated development of these topics that blends theory and practice, intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, researchers and practitioners. Its breadth is unrivaled, with sections on survival analysis, missing data, Markov chains, Markov random fields, point processes, graphical models, simulation and Markov chain Monte Carlo, estimating functions, asymptotic approximations, local likelihood and spline regressions as well as on more standard topics such as likelihood and linear and generalized linear models. Each chapter contains a wide range of problems and exercises. Practicals in the S language designed to build computing and data analysis skills, and a library of data sets to accompany the book, are available over the Web.Trade Review'This is an excellent textbook on modern statistics.' Zentralblatt MATH'… an almost encyclopaedic survey of modern parametric statistics. In my view this mammoth and scholarly undertaking invites comparison with Kendall's original Advanced Theory of Statistics, providing as it does a snapshot of the discipline at the present time. Anybody who is seriously involved in the theory or practice of statistics would be well advised to ensure that they have access to a copy.' International Statistical Institute'The volume presents a comprehensive treatment of modern parametric statistical inference. The exposition is concise; instead of giving detailed (technical) proofs, the author prefers to sketch the underlying concepts and gives references, if necessary. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is seriously engaged in the statistical analysis of data or in teaching statistics.' Walter Schill, University of Bremen'We know of no other one book like this one. We love owning this book. It gets placed on our shelf among our favourite reference books … We actually learned a lot and deepened our understanding of many topics while reading Davison's explanations … if asked to summarize Statistical Models in a single word, 'complete' would serve as the only plausible answer.' Technometrics'I like this book a lot. It is really a pleasure to read. The 700 pages offer a good initial synopsis of what is going on in modern statistics. The book is lively, full of data, and packed with ideas. The author has put a lot of energy, effort, care, and intellectual input into the book. I would definitely recommend this text, both to students and to colleagues.' The American Statistician'A student who has absorbed the contents of this book will be well-prepared to face the statistical world and any instructor would be well-advised to consider using it as a text. The style is good too, so that parts of the book are within the reach of nature undergraduates.' Mathematical Gazette'The volume presents a comprehensive treatment of modern parametric statistical inference. The exposition is concise; instead of giving detailed (technical) proofs, the author prefers to sketch the underlying concepts and gives references, if necessary. The numerous examples are taken from a variety of fields and are lively discussed. The book is accompanied by practical analyses in S or R that can be downloaded from the author's website and make it even more useful, also for teaching purposes … I highly recommend this book to anyone who is seriously engaged in the statistical analysis of data or in teaching statistics.' Biometrics' … comprehensive and well written … an excellent reference book for health researchers who are unfamiliar with details of any statistical methodology.'

Cambridge University Press Theory of Decision under Uncertainty Econometric Society Monographs
Book SynopsisThis book describes the classical axiomatic theories of decision under uncertainty, as well as critiques thereof and alternative theories. It focuses on the meaning of probability, discussing some definitions and surveying their scope of applicability. The behavioral definition of subjective probability serves as a way to present the classical theories, culminating in Savage's theorem. The limitations of this result as a definition of probability lead to two directions - first, similar behavioral definitions of more general theories, such as non-additive probabilities and multiple priors, and second, cognitive derivations based on case-based techniques.Trade Review'This is a fantastic book. It presents an intelligent, rigorous, and thought-provoking treatment of the theory of choice under uncertainty. The combination of philosophical and mathematical approaches is a treat. Graduate students and professional economists alike have much to learn from this book.' Daron Acemoglu, Massachusetts Institute of Technology'This is a beautifully written book that I recommend to anyone who is interested in understanding the 'what,' 'how,' and 'why' of decision theory. The balance between conceptual issues, formalism, and philosophical underpinnings is unique. It will become a standard reference and text.' Larry Epstein, Boston University'With his seminal works, Itzhak Gilboa is one of the leading figures in the 'neoclassical' decision theory that in the past 20 years has considerably expanded the scope of the classical theory pioneered by de Finetti, Ramsey, Savage, and von Neumann. This book provides a superb and much-needed introduction to this exciting research area.' Massimo Marinacci, Collegio Carlo Alberto, Italy'At the heart of most economic analysis is a description of how individuals make decisions. There have been fundamental advances in our understanding of decision making in recent years, and this book provides an extremely accessible explanation of the current state of the field. Perhaps more importantly, it lays out the conceptual underpinnings of decision theory: why the various assumptions in modeling decision making are made and how they affect economic predictions.' Andrew Postlewaite, University of Pennsylvania'Expected utility theory underlies most of statistics, economics, and finance. But are utility functions and probabilities all that we need to formulate wise decisions? And where do utility functions and probabilities come from? Written by the distinguished creator of new decision theories Itzhak Gilboa, Decision Theory under Uncertainty is a beautifully written critical account of decision theory that answers these and other important questions. Gilboa's work opens doors for both theorists and applied workers.' Thomas Sargent, New York University'[Gilboa] provides a textbook, but mathematically sophisticated, treatment of the recent developments in Choquet expected utility theory, prospect theory, and maxmin expected utility theory.'

Cambridge University Press Discrete Choice Methods with Simulation
Book SynopsisThis book describes the new generation of discrete choice methods, focusing on the many advances that are made possible by simulation. Researchers use these statistical methods to examine the choices that consumers, households, firms, and other agents make. Each of the major models is covered: logit, generalized extreme value, or GEV (including nested and cross-nested logits), probit, and mixed logit, plus a variety of specifications that build on these basics. Recent advances in Bayesian procedures are explored, including the use of the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm and its variant Gibbs sampling. This second edition adds chapters on endogeneity and expectation-maximization (EM) algorithms. No other book incorporates all these fields, which have arisen in the past 25 years. The procedures are applicable in many fields, including energy, transportation, environmental studies, health, labor, and marketing.Table of Contents1. Introduction; Part I. Behavioral Models: 2. Properties; 3. Logit; 4. GEV; 5. Probit; 6. Mixed logit; 7. Variations on a theme; Part II. Estimation: 8. Numerical maximization; 9. Drawing from densities; 10. Simulation-assisted estimation; 11.

Cambridge University Press Introduction to Circle Packing
Book SynopsisThis book, first published in 2005, introduces a new mathematical topic known as 'circle packing', taking the reader from first definitions to late-breaking results.Trade Review'This book lays out the study of circle packing, from first definitions to the latest theory, computations, and applications. … The topic can be enjoyed for the visual appeal of the packing images - over 200 in the book - and the elegance of circle geometry, for the clean line of theory, for the deep connections to classical topics, or for the emerging applications. Circle packing has an experimental and visual character that is unique in pure mathematics, and the book exploits that character to carry the reader from the very beginnings to links with complex analysis and Riemann surfaces. … The author uses both discrete functions and discrete conformal structures in several settings of active research interest, ranging from number theory to conformal tilings to (of all things!) human 'brain mapping'. These are all settings involving classically defined structures for which no numerical approximation methods were available until circle packing arrived on the scene. There are intriguing, often very accessible, open problems throughout the book and nine Appendices on subtopics of independent interest: Primer on classical complex analysis, The ring lemma, Doyle spirals, The Brooks parameter, Inversive distance packings, Graph embedding, Square grid packings, Schwarz and buckyballs, Circle packings.' Zentralblatt MATH'this beautifully produced book is an inviting introduction to an emerging area of mathematics that hs both an immediate visual appeal, with plenty of opportunities for computer-driven experimentation, and a rapidly developing clean line of theory … Stephenson is one of the leading pioneers in this exciting development and his stimulating book, written in an enthusiastic, almost conversational, style, will surely attract new workers into this new field. For, as he aptly remarks in the Preface, 'Circle packing has opened a discrete world that both parallels and approximates the classical world of conformal geometry - a 'quantum' classical analysis that is classical in the limit.' The Mathematical Gazette'… a splendid work of academic art. … The overall effect is that of a stunning menagerie of images complementing beautifully scripted text. … Ken Stephenson has produced in this textbook an effective and enjoyable tour of both the basic theory of circle packing and its use in deriving an intricate theory of discrete analytic functions. … I expect Introduction to Circle Packing: the Theory of Discrete Analytic Functions to be the source for student and researcher for many years to come.'
