Fitting Statistical Distributions The Generalized Lambda Distribution and Generalized Bootstrap Methods

Fitting Statistical Distributions The Generalized Lambda Distribution and Generalized Bootstrap Methods

Throughout the physical and social sciences researchers face the challenge of fitting statistical distributions to their data. Although the study of statistical modelling has made great strides in recent years the number and variety of distributions to choose from-all with their own formulas tables diagrams and general properties-continue to create problems. For a specific application which of the dozens of distributions should one use? What if none of them fit well?Fitting Statistical Distributions helps answer those questions. Focusing on techniques used successfully across many fields the authors present all of the relevant results related to the Generalized Lambda Distribution (GLD) the Generalized Bootstrap (GB) and Monte Carlo simulation (MC). They provide the tables algorithms and computer programs needed for fitting continuous probability distributions to data in a wide variety of circumstances-covering bivariate as well as univariate distributions and including situations where moments do not exist. Regardless of your specific field-physical science social science or statistics practitioner or theorist-Fitting Statistical Distributions is required reading. It includes wide-ranging applications illustrating the methods in practice and offers proofs of key results for those involved in theoretical development. Without it you may be using obsolete methods wasting time and risking incorrect results. | Fitting Statistical Distributions The Generalized Lambda Distribution and Generalized Bootstrap Methods

Food-Drug Synergy and Safety

Food-Drug Synergy and Safety

Scientists health professionals and consumers are increasingly interested in the relationships between food components and food-drug combinations as they strive to find more effective ways to prevent or treat chronic disease. As one of the first unified and in-depth sources in this emerging topic Food-Drug Synergy and Safety explores the vast potential benefits of food and food-drug synergy. The book addresses the interaction of two or more components within a single food between several foods or between foods and drugs consumed together in which the potential health benefit is greater than the effect of the single component food or drug. Each chapter follows a consistent framework and addresses the health benefits mechanisms of action and safety aspects pertaining to the food and food-drug synergies. Sections discuss food and food-drug synergies in the context of specific disease groups such as cardiovascular disease cancer osteoporosis inflammatory diseases hypertension and obesity for easy reference in a clinical setting. A separate section focuses entirely on performance enhancers including caffeine creatine and ephedrine/ephedra and their potential to influence human health in addition to ergogenic applications. The final section provides scientists with a framework for designing experiments that elucidate the heath benefits and safety aspects of food and food-drug synergies. Food-Drug Synergy and Safety lays the essential foundation in this new direction of research as it gains momentum in the fields of food nutrition medicine and pharmaceutical sciences.

Statistical Simulation Power Method Polynomials and Other Transformations

Statistical Simulation Power Method Polynomials and Other Transformations

Although power method polynomials based on the standard normal distributions have been used in many different contexts for the past 30 years it was not until recently that the probability density function (pdf) and cumulative distribution function (cdf) were derived and made available. Focusing on both univariate and multivariate nonnormal data generation Statistical Simulation: Power Method Polynomials and Other Transformations presents techniques for conducting a Monte Carlo simulation study. It shows how to use power method polynomials for simulating univariate and multivariate nonnormal distributions with specified cumulants and correlation matrices. The book first explores the methodology underlying the power method before demonstrating this method through examples of standard normal logistic and uniform power method pdfs. It also discusses methods for improving the performance of a simulation based on power method polynomials. The book then develops simulation procedures for systems of linear statistical models intraclass correlation coefficients and correlated continuous variates and ranks. Numerical examples and results from Monte Carlo simulations illustrate these procedures. The final chapter describes how the g-and-h and generalized lambda distribution (GLD) transformations are special applications of the more general multivariate nonnormal data generation approach. Throughout the text the author employs Mathematica® in a range of procedures and offers the source code for download online. Written by a longtime researcher of the power method this book explains how to simulate nonnormal distributions via easy-to-use power method polynomials. By using the methodology and techniques developed in the text readers can evaluate different transformations in terms of comparing percentiles measures of central tendency goodness-of-fit tests and more. | Statistical Simulation Power Method Polynomials and Other Transformations

The Politics of Ponzi Schemes History Theory and Policy

In the space of three years from 2009 to 2012 Bernie Madoff Tom Petters and R. Allen Stanford were all convicted for running multi-billion dollar Ponzi schemes. These three schemes alone have had the largest financial take in U. S. history. But what role does the economy and legislation play in the occurrences of Ponzi schemes? What is the nature of Ponzi schemes and what are their tools and mechanisms? What can we know about Ponzi perpetrators? Unraveling the answers to these questions (and many more) Marie Springer provides the first representative portrait of Ponzi schemes their perpetrators and their victims. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach she begins by presenting an overview of different types of Ponzi schemes. She later explores perpetrators and victims of Ponzi schemes followed by a close examination of economic trends regulatory changes and the financial relationship with Ponzi schemes. Other key features include: • A non-technical overview of both offender based and offense-based approaches of studying this form of fraud. • Examples of Ponzi schemes and Ponzi schemers. • A wealth of descriptive statistics on known federal cases from the 1960s until the present to quantify this specific form of fraud. Broadening our understanding of Ponzi schemes as a form of white-collar crime The Politics of Ponzi Schemes provides an excellent foundation for students and practitioners of public administration banking as well as investors finance and accounting law enforcement officers legislators and regulators. | The Politics of Ponzi Schemes History Theory and Policy

Insect Diets Science and Technology Second Edition

Insect Diets Science and Technology Second Edition

Dr. Allen Carson Cohen’s new edition of Insect Diets: Science and Technology continues to provide a current integrated review of the field of insect diets. It reaffirms and expands upon the belief that the science of diet development and the technology of diet application in rearing programs require formal foundations and guidelines. Cohen argues for a data-driven approach as well as a focus on humane treatment in insect rearing programs. He also calls for academics and industries to make a new push toward statistical process control (SPC) in their approaches to rearing in general using his own work with insects as a paradigm. This approach yields the benefits of careful scientific analysis by addressing issues of quality and efficiency in academic research and industrial practices and applications. See What’s New in the Second Edition:This edition expands upon the role of food science in the use of artificial diets in rearing programs especially texture analysis with rheological techniques. It includes an entirely new chapter focused solely on the subject of food quality in insect diets. The book also revisits microbial relationships to insect diets as a powerful influence on their feeding processes and emphasizes a new better understanding and utilization of the relationship between insects and microbes in artificial diets. Cohen also expands his vision of the future of insect rearing including the use of insects themselves as a potential food source for a rapidly expanding global human population. To that end this book gives you guidelines to develop use and evaluate artificial diets in order to improve their cost and scientific efficiency in the rearing of insects because as the author urges it is important to know your insect. This understanding will serve the multifaceted goals of using insect rearing for research and teaching pest management strategies and biocontrol agents as food for other organisms and for many other purposes. | Insect Diets Science and Technology Second Edition
