Sommario/riassunto: | This book presents a collection of invited articles by distinguished probabilists and statisticians on the occasion of the Platinum Jubilee Celebrations of the Indian Statistical Institute - a notable institute with significant achievement in research areas of statistics, probability and mathematics - in 2007. With a wide coverage of topics in probability and statistics, the articles provide a current perspective of different areas of research, emphasizing the major challenging issues. The book also proves its reference and utility value for practitioners as the articles in Statistics contain |
