New Perspectives in Theoretical and Applied Statistics

There have been numerous important developments in statistical theory in recent years. New methodologies have emerged, accompanied by new and improved theoretical tools. As a result, past restrictions have been removed and the domains of potential applications have been vastly broadened. In this book the authors present many of these developments, some of which have already had significant impacts on modeling, design and analysis of statistical experiments. The chapters included in this book cover a wide range of topics of current interest in applied as well as theoretical statistics and probability. The book also contains a selection of the papers presented at the Third International Meeting of Statistics in the Basque Country, held in Bilbao, Spain, from August 7 to 9, 1986.
