Bayesian Approach to Inverse Problems
J�r�me Idier (Editor) Mon, 30 Jun 2008 04:00:00 -0000
  Many scientific, medical or engineering problems raise the issue of recovering some physical quantities from indirect measurements; for instance, detecting or quantifying flaws or cracks within a material from acoustic or electromagnetic measurements at its surface is an essential problem of non-destructive evaluation. The concept of inverse problems precisely originates from the idea of inverting the laws of physics to recover a quantity of interest Read More...
Time Series Analysis: Forecasting and Control, 4th Edition
George E. P. Box, Gwilym M. Jenkins, Gregory C. Reinsel Mon, 30 Jun 2008 04:00:00 -0000
  This is a revision of a classic, seminal, and authoritative book that has been the model for most books on the topic written since 1970. It focuses on practical techniques throughout, rather than a rigorous mathematical treatment of the subject. It explores the building of stochastic (statistical) models for time series and their use in important areas of application forecasting, model specification, Read More...
