Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -For the experienced amateur astronomer who is wondering if there is something useful, valuable, and permanent that can be done with his or her observational skills, the answer is, 'Yes, you can!' This is the book for the experienced amateur astronomer who is ready to take a new step in his or her astronomical journey. Unfortunately, there is no modern text that points curious amateur astronomers to the research possibilities that are open to them. At the 2006 meeting of the Society for Astronomical Sciences, quite a few participants agreed that the lack of such a text was a serious gap in the astronomical book market, and that this gap is impeding their efforts to encourage more amateur astronomers to get involved in research collaborations. This book will fill that gap, and enable more amateur astronomers to add research-type studies to their pursuit of the hobby.Written by an astronomer who is well known amongst the amateur and professional community for the skill and quality of his work, this book describes a wide range of research areas where amateurs are gathering new scientific data that is utilized by professional astronomers. For each research area, the book provides a concise explanation of the purpose and value of the amateurs' observations, a description of the equipment that is needed, specific observing procedures, complete data reduction instructions, and an explanation of how, and where, to submit results so that they will be available to the professional users. 328 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Time series and random elds are main topics in modern statistical techniques. They are essential for applications where randomness plays an important role. Indeed, physical constraints mean that serious modelling cannot be done - ing only independent sequences. This is a real problem because asymptotic properties are not always known in this case. Thepresentworkisdevotedtoprovidingaframeworkforthecommonlyused time series. In order to validate the main statistics, one needs rigorous limit theorems. In the eld of probability theory, asymptotic behavior of sums may or may not be analogous to those of independent sequences. We are involved with this rst case in this book. Very sharp results have been proved for mixing processes, a notion int- duced by Murray Rosenblatt [166]. Extensive discussions of this topic may be found in his Dependence in Probability and Statistics (a monograph published by Birkhau ser in 1986) and in Doukhan (1994) [61], and the sharpest results may be found in Rio (2000)[161]. However, a counterexample of a really simple non-mixing process was exhibited by Andrews (1984) [2]. The notion of weak dependence discussed here takes real account of the available models, which are discussed extensively. Our idea is that robustness of the limit theorems with respect to the model should be taken into account. In real applications, nobody may assert, for example, the existence of a density for the inputs in a certain model, while such assumptions are always needed when dealing with mixing concepts. 336 pp. Englisch.…

Neuware -International Perspectives into the Practice and Research of Criminal Profiling Today criminal profiling is no longer viewed as some secretive, mysterious technique that police from the United States of America exc- sively indulge in when seeking to solve high-profile aberrant forms of crime. Although popular culture representations of criminal profiling still mostly favor such depictions by emphasizing this context, the reality is that individuals from a range of occupational and disciplinary backgrounds from around the world are involved in the practice loosely referred to as ¿criminal profiling. ¿ Different nomenclature is adopted from time to time to describe essentially the same practice such as ¿offender profiling,¿ ¿psychological profiling,¿ ¿pers- ality profiling,¿ and ¿crime analysis,¿ and indeed different techniques are often employed, but nonetheless as an endeavor profiling has expanded both in app- cation and in popularity across the world. Criminal profiling has evolved chiefly because researchers and comm- tators from around the globe have spent many years examining the perpetrators of serious crimes such as murder, rape, and arson. In particular, they have concentrated their efforts on studying the motivations and actions of violent offenders while seeking to document the experiences of both the victims and the perpetrators of crime. Many have also sought to assess the input of inv- tigative experience employed in criminal investigations and the influence of expert witnesses on jury decisions and examined at length the assessment and treatment of the protagonists of crime.Springer-Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 436 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This monograph is aimed at developing Doukhan/Louhichi's (1999) idea to measure asymptotic independence of a random process. The authors propose various examples of models fitting such conditions such as stable Markov chains, dynamical systems or more complicated models, nonlinear, non-Markovian, and heteroskedastic models with infinite memory. Most of the commonly used stationary models fit their conditions. The simplicity of the conditions is also their strength. The main tools for an asymptotic theory are developed under weak dependence. They apply the theory to nonparametric statistics, spectral analysis, econometrics, and resampling. The level of generality makes those techniques quite robust with respect to the model. The limit theorems are sometimes sharp and always simple to apply. The theory (with proofs) is developed and the authors propose to fix the notation for future applications. Several applications are still needed to develop a method of analysis for (nonlinear) times series and they provide here a strong basis for such studies.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 336 pp. Englisch.…
