Sommario/riassunto

Statisticians and philosophers of science have many common interests but restricted communication with each other. This volume aims to remedy these shortcomings. It provides state-of-the-art research in the area of philosophy of statistics by encouraging numerous experts to communicate with one another without feeling "restricted? by their disciplines or thinking "piecemeal? in their treatment of issues.    A second goal of this book is to present work in the field without bias



toward any particular statistical paradigm.   Broadly speaking, the essays in this Handbook are concerne

Sommario/riassunto

"The authors are the originators of isogeometric analysis, are excellent scientists and good educators. It is very original. There is no other book on this topic."-René de Borst, Eindhoven University of Technology Written by leading experts in the field and featuring fully integrated colour throughout, Isogeometric Analysis provides a groundbreaking solution for the integration of CAD and FEA technologies. Tom Hughes and his researchers, Austin Cottrell and Yuri Bazilevs, present their pioneering isogeometric approach, which aims to integrate the two techniques of CAD and FEA usin
