Sommario/riassunto

Now back in print, Joseph Wood Krutch's Burroughs Award-winning The Desert Year is as beautiful as it is philosophically profound. Although Krutch-often called the Cactus Walden-came to the desert relatively late in his life, his curiosity and delight in his surroundings abound throughout The Desert Year, whether he is marveling at the majesty of the endless dry sea, at flowers carpeting the desert floor, or at the unexpected appearance of an army of frogs after a heavy rain. Krutch's trenchant observations about life prospering in the hostile environm

Sommario/riassunto

Extrait : ""Robert-Macaire ne pouvait apparaître dans un autre temps que le nôtre. Il est bien l'enfant de ce siècle ; il est l'incarnation de notre époque positive, égoïste, avare, menteuse, vantarde, et , disons le mot, il est ici parfaitement à sa place - essentiellement blagueuse.""

Sommario/riassunto

A comprehensive, step-by-step introduction to wavelets in statistics.What are wavelets? What makes them increasingly indispensable in statistical nonparametrics? Why are they suitable for ""time-scale"" applications? How are they used to solve such problems as denoising, regression, or density estimation? Where can one find up-to-date information on these newly ""discovered"" mathematical objects? These are some of the questions Brani Vidakovic answers in Statistical Modeling by Wavelets. Providing a much-needed introduction to the latest tools afforded statisticians by wavelet theory,
