This includes a comprehensive blending of Astrophysics and Statistics. The first chapter?s coverage of preliminary concepts and terminologies for astronomical phenomenon will appeal to both Statistics and Astrophysics readers as helpful context. Statistics concepts covered in the book provide a methodological framework. A unique feature is the inclusion of different possible sources of astronomical data, as well as software packages for converting the raw data into appropriate forms for data analysis. Readers can then use the appropriate statistical packages for their particular data analysis needs. The ideas of statistical inference discussed in the book help readers determine how to apply statistical tests. The authors cover different applications of statistical techniques already developed or specifically introduced for astronomical problems, including regression techniques, along with their usefulness for data set problems related to size and dimension. Analysis of missing data is an important part of the book because of its significance for work with astronomical data. Both existing and new techniques related to dimension reduction and clustering are illustrated through examples. There is detailed coverage of applications useful for classification, discrimination, data mining and time series analysis. Later chapters explain simulation techniques useful for the development of physical models where it is difficult or impossible to collect data. Finally, coverage of the many R programs for techniques discussed makes this book a fantastic practical reference. Readers may apply what they learn directly to their data sets in addition to the data sets included by the authors. 410 0$aSpringer Series in Astrostatistics,$x2199-1049 ;$v3 606 $aStatistics 606 $aAstrophysics 606 $aAstronomy 606 $aStatistics 606 $aStatistics in Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry and Earth Sciences 606 $aAstrophysics 606 $aAstronomy, Cosmology and Space Sciences 606 $aStatistical Theory and Methods 615 0$aStatistics. 615 0$aAstrophysics. 615 0$aAstronomy. 615 0$aStatistics. 615 14$aStatistics in Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Chemistry and Earth Sciences. 615 24$aAstrophysics. 615 24$aAstronomy, Cosmology and Space Sciences. 615 24$aStatistical Theory and Methods. 676 $a520.72 676 $a520.727 700 $aChattopadhyay$b Asis Kumar$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0722031 702 $aChattopadhyay$b Tanuka$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299995103321 996 $aStatistical Methods for Astronomical Data Analysis$92535772 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03539nam 22006135 450 001 9910350323803321 005 20250610110329.0 010 $a9789811397264 010 $a9811397260 024 7 $a10.1007/978-981-13-9726-4 035 $a(CKB)4100000009158833 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5852235 035 $a(DE-He213)978-981-13-9726-4 035 $a(Perlego)3483204 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC30160221 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000009158833 100 $a20190816d2019 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aRemaking Monetary Policy in China $eMarkets and Controls, 1998-2008 /$fby Michael Beggs, Luke Deer 205 $a1st ed. 2019. 210 1$aSingapore :$cSpringer Nature Singapore :$cImprint: Palgrave Pivot,$d2019. 215 $a1 online resource (133 pages) 311 08$a9789811397257 311 08$a9811397252 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $a1.

While most current work focuses on This book traces and explains the evolution of Chinese monetary policy in the years before 2008. The turn towards interest rate deregulation and market-oriented policy in China in recent years is often seen as a break with former command-and-control policy norms, in favour of Western central banking norms. We argue that Chinese monetary policy already went through a transformation under the influence of 'new consensus' macroeconomics after 1998, but that this surprisingly led to increased reliance on direct banking controls in the 2000s. Therefore, many of the controls that look to many like a remnant of central planning are in fact an outcome of an earlier attempt to 'rationalise' monetary policy, in unusual Chinese conditions. Specifically, policy returned to direct controls because of an underdeveloped interbank money market, and a glut of bank liquidity associated with enormous foreign exchange inflows in the mid-2000s.
