{"product_id":"stochastic-musings","title":"Stochastic Musings","description":"This new edited volume features contributions from many of the leading scientists in probability and statistics from the latter part of the 20th century. It is the only book to assemble the views of these leading scientists--the pioneers in their respective fields.\u003cbr\u003eStochastic Musings features contributions by *\u003cb\u003eSir David Cox\u0026amp;lt on statistics and econometrics *\u003cb\u003eC.R.

Panaretos, E. Xekalaki,\u0026amp;lt andS. Psarakis\u0026amp;lt on a predictive model evaluation and selection approach--the correlated gamma ratio distribution; *\u003cb\u003eJ.

Moustaki\u0026amp;lt on latent variable models with covariates.\u003cbr\u003eStochastic Musings will appeal to researchers, professionals, and students interested in the history and development of statistics and probability as well as in related areas, such as physics, biometry, economics, and mathematics. Academic and professional statisticians will benefit from the book's coverage of the latest developments in the field, as well as reflections on the future directions of the discipline.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44556473008366,"sku":"9780805846140","price":227.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780805846140.jpg?v=1703547982","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/stochastic-musings","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
