This book brings the power of modern Bayesian thinking, modeling, and computing to a broad audience. In particular, it is an ideal resource for advanced undergraduate statistics students and practitioners with comparable experience. It empowers readers to weave Bayesian approaches into their everyday practice.

It is chiefly through the labors of Gibbs and Heaviside that an analysis has been perfected which not only does away with the unnecessary complexity and artificiality of other analyses but offers a strictly natural and therefore as direct and simple a substitute as possible, and, at the same time in no wise is at variance, but runs paralel to them.

THIS NEW, yet old method is VECTOR ANALYSIS; it COMBINES within itself most of the advantages of both Quaternions and of Cartesian Analysis.

In re-writing the Solid Geometry the authors have consistently carried out the distinctive features described in the preface of the Plane Geometry. Mention is here made only of certain matters which are particularly emphasized in the Solid Geometry.

Owing to the greater maturity of the pupils it has been possible to make the logical structure of the Solid Geometry more prominent than in the Plane Geometry. The axioms are stated and applied at the precise points where they are to be used. Theo...

Hebben baby's al getalbegrip en hoe zouden we daar achter kunnen komen? Wanneer werden de eerste getallen ge

Het geheel is meer dan de som van de delen. Dat was de idee toen zeven docenten van vijf hogescholen de handen in

elkaar sloegen om Wiskunde = Wijs! te schrijven, een handboek wiskunde voor de lagere school dat zijn gelijke niet kent.

Een goede leerkracht beheerst niet enkel de inhoud van zijn of haar vak, maar slaagt er ook in om kennis over te brengen aan leerlingen met respect voor de didactische principes. Dit boek begint daarom met een overzicht van alle inhouden die aan bod kunnen kome...

Currently, reproduction numbers of pandemic models (SIR, SEIR, Lotka-Euler and others), basic or not, and their constituent parameters like transmission rate or duration of infectiousness, mainly are estimated as one average value for either a moving period in time [0,t], or for the whole duration [0,T] of the pandemic. This book statistically investigates these parameters, and thereby the reproduction number as timedependent: hence the name 'Timelocal Reproduction Number'.

For instance, th...

A daily glass of wine prolongs life-yet alcohol can cause life-threatening cancer. Some say raising the minimum wage will decrease inequality while others say it increases unemployment. Scientists once confidently claimed that hormone replacement therapy reduced the risk of heart disease but now they equally confidently claim it raises that risk.

What should we make of this endless barrage of conflicting claims? Observation and Experiment is an introduction to causal inference by one of the f...
