Sommario/riassunto |
|
The first work to combine literary criticism with other forms of death penalty-abolitionist writing, Demands of the Dead demonstrates the active importance of literature and literary criticism to the struggle for greater justice in the United States. Gathering personal essays, scholarly articles, and creative writings on the death penalty in American culture, this striking collection brings human voices and literary perspectives to a subject that is often overburdened by statistics and angry polemics. Contributors include death-row prisoners, playwrights, poets, activists, and literature. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
This book provides an updated account of the regression techniques employed in comparing analytical methods and to test the biases of |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
one method relative to others – a problem commonly found in fields like analytical chemistry, biology, engineering, and medicine. Methods comparison involves a non-standard regression problem; when a method is to be tested in a laboratory, it may be used on samples of suitable reference material, but frequently it is used with other methods on a range of suitable materials whose concentration levels are not known precisely. By presenting a sound statistical background not found in other books for the type of problem addressed, this book complements and extends topics discussed in the current literature. It highlights the applications of the presented techniques with the support of computer routines implemented using the R language, with examples worked out step-by-step. This book is a valuable resource for applied statisticians, practitioners, laboratoryscientists, geostatisticians, process engineers, geologists and graduate students. |
