This book is for statistical practitioners, particularly those who design and analyze studies for survival and event history data. Building on recent developments motivated by counting process and martingale theory, it shows the reader how to extend the Cox model to analyze multiple/correlated event data using marginal and random effects.

Survival data or more general time-to-event data occur in many areas, including medicine, biology, engineering, economics, and demography, but previously standard methods have requested that all time variables are univariate and independent. As the field is rather new, the concepts and the possible types of data are described in detail.

The Verilog Hardware Description Language (Verilog-HDL) has long been the most popular language for describing complex digital hardware. Verilog-AMS combines both Verilog-HDL and Verilog-A, and adds additional mixed-signal constructs, providing a hardware description language suitable for analog, digital, and mixed-signal systems.

This book on mathematical, statistical and stochastic models in reliability will help analysts formulate general failure models, establish formulae for computing performance measures, and determine how to identify optimal replacement policies.

This introduction to tensor calculus features over 150 exercises. It uses an informal approach, focuses on concrete objects, and appeals to the reader's intuition with regard to fundamental concepts, such as the Euclidean space, surface, and length.

This book explains the history and basic framework of HIA, and offers a guide to best practices and preferred resources and a comprehensive theoretical and operational framework for practitioners and students. Includes domestic and international case studies.

Srinivasa Ramanujan is, arguably, the greatest mathematicianthat India has produced. He died very young, at the age of 32,leaving behind three notebooks containing almost 3000theorems, virtually all without proof. Hardy andothers strongly urged that notebooks be edited andpublished, and the result is this series of books.

Today medical schools in the United States are making informatics a part of their curriculum, with required medical informatics blocks at the onset of training serving as the base for problem-based learning throughout the course of study.

This popular and successful text was originally written for a one-semester course in linear algebra at the sophomore undergraduate level. A compact, but mathematically clean introduction to linear algebra with particular emphasis on topics in abstract algebra, the theory of differential equations, and group representation theory.

The successful implementation of health information systems in complex health care organizations ultimately hinges on the receptivity and preparedness of the user.

Mass transportation problems concern the optimal transfer of masses from one location to another. This first of two volumes is a useful reference for researchers in applied probability, operations research, computer science, and mathematical economics.

The book concludes with two supplementary chapters: a concise account of unbounded operators and their spectral theory, and a complete course in measure and integration theory from an advanced point of view.

these general notions are useful in con structing travelling waves for systems of nonlinear equations. Gardner, whereby they construct a general theory enabling them to locate the point spectrum of a wide class of linear operators which arise in stability problems for travelling waves.

Unlike other books on theoretical computer science, this textbook organizes approximation algorithms into chapters based on the design techniques for the algorithms. This allows the reader to study approximation algorithms of the same nature together.

"Quantum Physics of the Solid State: an Introduction" Draft foreword: 26/09/03 If only this book had been available when I was starting out in science!

The most thorough resource yet on mammalian diversity of South Asia, this book details the diversity, distribution and status of 504 species of terrestrial and aquatic mammals. Includes country-specific data on distribution, threatened species and much more.

After diabetic retinopathy, retinal vein occlusions are the most common retinal vascular disease. This comprehensive, illustrated text includes case studies, integrating advances in treatments with progress in understanding the mechanisms of these occlusions.

The allocation of child custody axiomatically takes the best interests of the child as its lodestar. Yet how do professionals tasked with evaluating these interests improve their judgments? This book proposes standardized guidelines for greater accuracy.

This book explains a variety of aspects of the patent process, using the example of recent developments in edible oil processing. The author explains patent jargon and offers amusing and illustrative personal insights and remarks.

This book presents experiments that teach the physics involved in astronomy. It helps readers learn important analytical tools, appreciate the physics deployed in astronomy, and experience instrument calibration as well as hands-on data gathering and analysis.

This book begins by describing a mathematical model that represents disruption in WLAN-based Vehicular Communications. Secondly, it sets out to reduce the handover latency for establishing quick connections between the mobile nodes and the roadside WLAN APs.

This book begins with a summary of the current state of research on metallic nanoparticles, then moves on to the current state of the art in theory of metallic nanoparticldes, and goes on to explain why and how these tools help experimentalists.

One of the many innovative features of this book is that it incorporates contributions from behavioral economics and neuroeconomics, providing a deeper understanding of consumer preferences and the motivation for many current business practices.

In its Second Edition, this in-depth study of the vibrations of fractal strings interlinks number theory, spectral geometry and fractal geometry. Includes a geometric reformulation of the Riemann hypothesis and a new final chapter on recent topics and results.

This book explores the many ways that multi-generational Australian-born Chinese (ABC) people negotiate the balance of two cultures. Grounded in ethnography, fieldwork and participant observation, it painte a contrasting picture of ethnic identification.

This book discusses the social and economic costs and benefits of legalized gambling, addressing such questions as Does casino expansion simply "cannibalize" other industries, having no net effect? Or does casino gambling offer positive economic impacts?

This book introduces resource aware image decomposition, registration, fusion, object detection and tracking algorithms, and reviews with their applications in security, monitoring and integration in 3rd Generation Surveillance Systems.

This volume focuses on international trade and global macroeconomic policy -- two topics often overlooked by conventional MBA and Executive MBA programs. Topics include the Ricardian trade theorem, the effect of trade on wages and employment, budget deficits, capital inflows, and more.
