Elements of computational statistics

From MaRDI portal





The book is devoted to computationally intensive methods of statistical analysis such as resampling, randomization tests or data mining. Since such methods are used now in almost all branches of statistics, the book covers a lot of questions, such as nonparametric density estimation, projection pursuit, stepwise regression, interactive graphics, hierarchical clustering, variance reduction in Monte Carlo bootstrap, and so on. The price of such topics diversity is extremely high. Many problems are only mentioned. Many comments can be understood only by a person who knows the question as good as the author. E.g., all stochastic equations and their statistics are discussed at one page. Computational algorithms are described in few words. Details of computational realization are always omitted. So, this is not a self-contained textbook for students, but may be a good reference guide on the current state of statistics. The bibliography contains more then 500 items and there are many WWW references in the text.
