"Calibration in the Pharmaceutical Laboratory" provides general background on laboratory balances and precision scales, insight into mass measurements and associated errors, and detailed information on key quality issues associated with weighing.

Empirical likelihood provides inferences whose validity does not depend on specifying a parametric model for the data. Because it uses a likelihood, the method has certain inherent advantages over resampling methods: it

Over the last 15 years, singular spectrum analysis (SSA) has proven very successful. It has already become a standard tool in climatic and meteorological time series analysis and well known in nonlinear

Considers the application of polynomial algebra to experimental design, discrete probability, and statistics. The book begins with an introduction to Gr bner bases and a description of their application to experimental design.

Despite their importance and the amount of research published on the theory of the Navier-Stokes equations, some very elementary and fundamental questions remain unanswered. This volume aims to answer many of these

The recent launches of three fully polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) satellites have shown that polarimetric radar imaging can provide abundant data on the Earth's environment, such as biomass and forest height
