The Handbook of Statistics is a series of self-contained reference books. Each volume is devoted to a particular topic in statistics, with Volume 30 dealing with time series. The series is addressed to the entire community of statisticians and scientists in various disciplines who use statistical methodology in their work. At the same time, special emphasis is placed on applications-oriented techniques, with the applied statistician in mind as the primary audience. * Comprehensively presents the various aspects of statistical methodology* Discusses a wide variety of diverse applications and recent developments* Contributors are internationally renowened experts in their respective areas
Reviews / Votes
"Referring to earlier volumes in the venerable series Handbook of Statistics- -v.3 (1983) and v.5 (1985)--the three editors preface this 30th volume by describing the explosion of developments since those books were published. Initial chapters cover topics that were in their infancy 25 years ago, including bootstrap methods and tests for linearity of a time series. Following is coverage of methods of modeling nonlinear time series, functional data and high-dimensional time series, applications to biological and neurological sciences, nonstationary time series, spatio- temporal models, continuous time series, and spectral and wavelet methods for the analysis of signals, among other topics. The editors are affiliated as follows: Tata Subba Rao (U. of Manchester, UK), Suhasini Subba Rao (Texas A&M U., US) and C.R. Rao (U. of Hyderabad Campus, India)."--Reference and Research Book News, October 2012More details
