Subsampling
Author: Dimitris N. Politis
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461215544
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
Since Efron's profound paper on the bootstrap, an enormous amount of effort has been spent on the development of bootstrap, jacknife, and other resampling methods. The primary goal of these computer-intensive methods has been to provide statistical tools that work in complex situations without imposing unrealistic or unverifiable assumptions about the data generating mechanism. This book sets out to lay some of the foundations for subsampling methodology and related methods.

Microeconometrics
Author: A. Colin Cameron
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139444867
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 1058
Book Description
This book provides the most comprehensive treatment to date of microeconometrics, the analysis of individual-level data on the economic behavior of individuals or firms using regression methods for cross section and panel data. The book is oriented to the practitioner. A basic understanding of the linear regression model with matrix algebra is assumed. The text can be used for a microeconometrics course, typically a second-year economics PhD course; for data-oriented applied microeconometrics field courses; and as a reference work for graduate students and applied researchers who wish to fill in gaps in their toolkit. Distinguishing features of the book include emphasis on nonlinear models and robust inference, simulation-based estimation, and problems of complex survey data. The book makes frequent use of numerical examples based on generated data to illustrate the key models and methods. More substantially, it systematically integrates into the text empirical illustrations based on seven large and exceptionally rich data sets.

Children’s Counting and Concepts of Number
Author: Karen C. Fuson
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461237548
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 448
Book Description
For some time now, the study of cognitive development has been far and away the most active discipline within developmental psychology. Although there would be much disagreement as to the exact proportion of papers published in developmental journals that could be considered cognitive, 50% seems like a conservative estimate. Hence, a series of scholary books to be devoted to work in cognitive development is especially appropriate at this time. The Springer Series in Cognitive Development contains two basic types of books, namely, edited collections of original chapters by several authors, and original volumes written by one author or a small group of authors. The flagship for the Springer Series is a serial publication of the "advances" type, carrying the subtitle Progress in Cognitive Development Research. Volumes in the Progress sequence are strongly thematic, in that each is limited to some well-defined domain of cognitive developmental research (e. g. , logical and mathematical development, semantic development). All Progress volumes are edited collections. Editors of such books, upon consultation with the Series Editor, may elect to have their works published either as contributions to the Progress sequence or as separate volumes. All books written by one author or a small group of authors will be published as separate volumes within the series. is being used in the selec A fairly broad definition of cognitive development tion of books for this series.

Taking Time for Teamwork: Moving and Protecting Objects
Author: Robyn Kademan
Publisher: Lorenz Educational Press
ISBN: 0787720720
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 14
Book Description
These hands-on activities will get students to think critically, work together, and solve problems. Students will complete the challenges to build contraptions that move items from one place to another, lift them off the ground, or protect them. Each activity includes a list of supplies, requirements, testing and scoring goals, and teacher notes. The challenges promote team building, communication and higher-level thinking skills and can be enjoyed by students of various ages and in many different curricular areas.

Exploring the Limits of Bootstrap
Author: Raoul LePage
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 9780471536314
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 462
Book Description
Explores the application of bootstrap to problems that place unusual demands on the method. The bootstrap method, introduced by Bradley Efron in 1973, is a nonparametric technique for inferring the distribution of a statistic derived from a sample. Most of the papers were presented at a special meeting sponsored by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and the Interface Foundation in May, 1990.

Variational and Level Set Methods in Image Segmentation
Author: Amar Mitiche
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642153526
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Image segmentation consists of dividing an image domain into disjoint regions according to a characterization of the image within or in-between the regions. Therefore, segmenting an image is to divide its domain into relevant components. The efficient solution of the key problems in image segmentation promises to enable a rich array of useful applications. The current major application areas include robotics, medical image analysis, remote sensing, scene understanding, and image database retrieval. The subject of this book is image segmentation by variational methods with a focus on formulations which use closed regular plane curves to define the segmentation regions and on a level set implementation of the corresponding active curve evolution algorithms. Each method is developed from an objective functional which embeds constraints on both the image domain partition of the segmentation and the image data within or in-between the partition regions. The necessary conditions to optimize the objective functional are then derived and solved numerically. The book covers, within the active curve and level set formalism, the basic two-region segmentation methods, multiregion extensions, region merging, image modeling, and motion based segmentation. To treat various important classes of images, modeling investigates several parametric distributions such as the Gaussian, Gamma, Weibull, and Wishart. It also investigates non-parametric models. In motion segmentation, both optical flow and the movement of real three-dimensional objects are studied.
