Survival Analysis

Survival Analysis

Survival analysis generally deals with analysis of data arising from clinical trials. Censoring truncation and missing data create analytical challenges and the statistical methods and inference require novel and different approaches for analysis. Statistical properties essentially asymptotic ones of the estimators and tests are aptly handled in the counting process framework which is drawn from the larger arm of stochastic calculus. With explosion of data generation during the past two decades survival data has also enlarged assuming a gigantic size. Most statistical methods developed before the millennium were based on a linear approach even in the face of complex nature of survival data. Nonparametric nonlinear methods are best envisaged in the Machine Learning school. This book attempts to cover all these aspects in a concise way. Survival Analysis offers an integrated blend of statistical methods and machine learning useful in analysis of survival data. The purpose of the offering is to give an exposure to the machine learning trends for lifetime data analysis. Features: Classical survival analysis techniques for estimating statistical functional and hypotheses testing Regression methods covering the popular Cox relative risk regression model Aalen’s additive hazards model etc. Information criteria to facilitate model selection including Akaike Bayes and Focused Penalized methods Survival trees and ensemble techniques of bagging boosting and random survival forests A brief exposure of neural networks for survival data R program illustration throughout the book

Forensic Gait Analysis Principles and Practice

Forensic Gait Analysis Principles and Practice

Gait analysis is the systematic study of human walking using the eye and brain of experienced observers augmented by instrumentation for measuring body movements body mechanics and the activity of the muscles. Since Aristotle’s work on gait analysis more than 2000 years ago it has become an established clinical science used extensively in the healthcare and rehabilitation fields for diagnosis and treatment. Forensic Gait Analysis details the more recent and rapidly developing use of gait analysis in the forensic sciences. The book considers the use of observational gait analysis based on video recordings to assist in the process of identification or exclusion. With the increase in use of CCTV and surveillance systems over the last 20 to 30 years there has been a steady and rapid increase in the use of gait as evidence. Currently gait analysis is widely used in the UK in criminal investigations with increasing awareness of its potential use in the US Europe and globally. The book details the history of the science current practices and of the emergent application to establish best-practice standards that conform to those of other forensic science disciplines. Engagement with the Forensic Science Regulator and the Chartered Society of Forensic Sciences in the UK and the International Association for Identification has helped to ensure and enhance the quality assurance of forensic gait analysis. However there remains a fundamental lack of standardized training and methodology for use in evidentiary and investigative casework. This book fills that void serving as one of the first to describe the current state of practice capabilities and limitations and to outline methods standards of practice and expectations of the gait analyst as a forensic practitioner. Forensic Gait Analysis reflects current research and forensic practice and will serve as a state-of-the-art guide to the use of gait analysis in the forensic context—for both education and training purposes. It will be a welcome addition to the libraries of professionals in the areas of podiatry gait analysis forensic video analysis law enforcement and legal practice. | Forensic Gait Analysis Principles and Practice

Regulating Open Banking Comparative Analysis of the EU the UK and Taiwan

Regulating Open Banking Comparative Analysis of the EU the UK and Taiwan

FinTech transformations have brought changes to the global financial markets and merit the attention of financial regulators across jurisdictions. This book is one of the first ones of its kind to look at open banking (OB). It examines regulatory approaches to OB by taking a broad view of comparative legal systems and through perspectives of transaction costs public choice and institutional design. The book looks at the legal implications by engaging in a two-tiered comparative analysis: comparing between compulsory and voluntary approaches to OB policies and comparing the legal systems between the West (i. e. the EU and the UK) and an Asian economy (i. e. Taiwan). | Regulating Open Banking Comparative Analysis of the EU the UK and Taiwan

Soil Analysis Handbook of Reference Methods

Soil Analysis Handbook of Reference Methods

For more than 30 years soil testing has been widely used as a basis for determining lime and fertilizer needs. Today a number of procedures are used for determining everything from soil pH and lime requirement to the level of extractable nutrient elements. And as the number of cropped fields being tested increases more and more farmers and growers will come to rely on soil test results. But if soil testing is to be an effective means of evaluating the fertility status of soils standardization of methodology is essential. No single test is appropriate for all soils. Soil Analysis Handbook of Reference Methods is a standard laboratory technique manual for the most commonly used soil analysis procedures. First published in 1974 this Handbook has changed over the years to reflect evolving needs. New test methods and modifications have been added as well as new sections on nitrate heavy metals and quality assurance plans for agricultural testing laboratories. Compiled by the Soil and Plant Analysis Council this latest edition of Soil Analysis Handbook of Reference Methods also addresses the major methods for managing plant nutrition currently in use in the United States and other parts of the world. For soil scientists farmers growers or anyone with an interest in the environment this reference will prove an invaluable guide to standard methods for soil testing well into the future. Features

Real and Complex Analysis

Real and Complex Analysis

Presents Real & Complex Analysis Together Using a Unified ApproachA two-semester course in analysis at the advanced undergraduate or first-year graduate levelUnlike other undergraduate-level texts Real and Complex Analysis develops both the real and complex theory together. It takes a unified elegant approach to the theory that is consistent with the recommendations of the MAA’s 2004 Curriculum Guide. By presenting real and complex analysis together the authors illustrate the connections and differences between these two branches of analysis right from the beginning. This combined development also allows for a more streamlined approach to real and complex function theory. Enhanced by more than 1 000 exercises the text covers all the essential topics usually found in separate treatments of real analysis and complex analysis. Ancillary materials are available on the book’s website. This book offers a unique comprehensive presentation of both real and complex analysis. Consequently students will no longer have to use two separate textbooks—one for real function theory and one for complex function theory.
