How far away are the galaxies and how fast are they travelling away from us? What is dark matter and why do astronomers think it pervades the universe? How heavy is the vacuum? How do galaxies form?Michael Rowan-Robinson answers these and many more questions in a highly original and intriguing way. He encapsulates our current knowledge (both what we do and don't know) of the origin and the nature of the universe into nine numbers. These cosmic numbers appear to be independent characteristics of our universe and include its age, the Hubble constant (a measure of its ratCosmologyPopular worksElectronic books.Cosmology523.1Rowan-Robinson Michael50280MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462668103321The nine numbers of the cosmos2200927UNINA04959nam 22005775 450 991058659220332120250604101830.03-030-88658-110.1007/978-3-030-88658-5(MiAaPQ)EBC7068714(Au-PeEL)EBL7068714(CKB)24342174600041(DE-He213)978-3-030-88658-5(PPN)264194721(EXLCZ)992434217460004120220801d2022 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierBayesian Inference and Computation in Reliability and Survival Analysis /edited by Yuhlong Lio, Ding-Geng Chen, Hon Keung Tony Ng, Tzong-Ru Tsai1st ed. 2022.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2022.1 online resource (367 pages)Emerging Topics in Statistics and Biostatistics,2524-7743Print version: Lio, Yuhlong Bayesian Inference and Computation in Reliability and Survival Analysis Cham : Springer International Publishing AG,c2022 9783030886578 Includes bibliographical references and index.1.

Bayesian Approach for Joint-modeling Longitudinal Data and Survival Data Simultaneously in Public Health Studies.Bayesian analysis is one of the important tools for statistical modelling and inference. Bayesian frameworks and methods have been successfully applied to solve practical problems in reliability and survival analysis, which have a wide range of real world applications in medical and biological sciences, social and economic sciences, and engineering. In the past few decades, significant developments of Bayesian inference have been made by many researchers, and advancements in computational technology and computer performance has laid the groundwork for new opportunities in Bayesian computation for practitioners. Because these theoretical and technological developments introduce new questions and challenges, and increase the complexity of the Bayesian framework, this book brings together experts engaged in groundbreaking research on Bayesian inference and computation to discuss important issues, with emphasis on applications to reliability and survival analysis. Topics covered are timely and have the potential to influence the interacting worlds of biostatistics, engineering, medical sciences, statistics, and more. The included chapters present current methods, theories, and applications in the diverse area of biostatistical analysis. The volume as a whole serves as reference in driving quality global health research. .Emerging Topics in Statistics and Biostatistics,2524-7743StatisticsClinical medicineResearchBayesian InferenceBayesian NetworkClinical ResearchStatistics.Clinical medicineResearch.Bayesian Inference.Bayesian Network.Clinical Research.519.542519.542Lio YuhlongMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910586592203321Bayesian inference and computation in reliability and survival analysis2999171UNINA
