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
