It includes a series of real-world statistical problems illustrating modeling skills and techniques that are applicable to a broad range of audiences from applied statisticians to practicing MBAs. It covers models of growth and decay, systems where competition and interaction add to the complexity of the model, and discusses both classical and non-classical data analysis methods, alongside an extended list of more than twenty essential topics. The author also includes numerous exercises, an emphasis on computational finance and Bayesian techniques, and timely discussions of epidemics, quality control, and chaos in a dynamic world"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aWiley series in probability and statistics ;$v794. 606 $aExperimental design 606 $aMathematical models 606 $aMathematical statistics 615 0$aExperimental design. 615 0$aMathematical models. 615 0$aMathematical statistics. 676 $a519.5/7 686 $aMAT029000$2bisacsh 700 $aThompson$b James R$g(James Robert),$f1938-$0141788 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910141174403321 996 $aEmpirical model building$9835657 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01274nam0 22003011i 450 001 UON00499105 005 20231205105406.545 010 $a978-23-430-5903-7 100 $a20191029d2015 |0itac50 ba 101 $afre 102 $aFR 105 $a|||| ||||| 200 1 $aPoétique de la musique chinoise$fVéronique Alexandre Journeau 210 $aParis$cL?Harmattan$d2015 215 $a443 p.$d24 cm. 410 1$1001UON00503250$12001 $aˆL' ‰univers esthétique 606 $aMUSICA CINESE$3UONC016631$2FI 606 $aPOETICA$xMusica cinese$3UONC097966$2FI 620 $aFR$dParis$3UONL002984 700 1$aJOURNEAU$bVéronique Alexandre$3UONV285091$0792781 712 $aL'Harmattan$3UONV246057$4650 801 $aIT$bSOL$c20251003$gRICA 899 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$2UONSI 912 $aUON00499105 950 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$dSI FS 2.0 1408 $eSI 36178 5 1408 951 $aSIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEO$bSI20191058 1J 20191029Non disponibile presso l'editore (21/05/2020) - Per difficile reperibilità è sta 996 $aPoétique de la musique chinoise$91772977 997 $aUNIOR
