Model-based Geostatistics (Springer Series in Statistics)
Original price was: $199.00.$159.20Current price is: $159.20.Add to cartThe authors have written an expository text, emphasizing statistical methods and applications rather than the underlying mathematical theory. Analyses of datasets from a range of scientific contexts feature prominently, and simulations are used to illustrate theoretical results. Readers can reproduce most of the computational results in the book by using the authors’ R-based software package, geoR, whose usage is illustrated in a computation section at the end of each chapter.
The book assumes a working knowledge of classical and Bayesian methods of inference, linear models, and generalized linear models, but does not require previous exposure to spatial statistical models or methods. The authors have used the material in MSc-level statistics courses.

Practical Protein Chromatography
Original price was: $229.00.$183.20Current price is: $183.20.Add to cartEach chapter has been written by expert authors who have direct and regular practical experience with their chosen technology. The structure of each chapter is designed to make it easy for a worker to learn the method and follow it to an effective conclusion. An introduction treats the theory behind the method being described. The Materials and Methods sections allow the reader to prepare for and then perform techniques in a rational, step-by-step manner.

Psychology and the Aesthetics of the Built Environment
Original price was: $295.00.$236.00Current price is: $236.00.Add to cartRecent legislative trends in the United States, the United Kingdom, and many other countries now require accurate and efficient assessment of environmental aesthetics. Most of this assessment is currently undertaken using traditional design judgment, but when the powers of the government are used to enforce policy the scope of the aesthetic evaluation requires consideration of …

The Science of Disasters: Climate Disruptions, Heart Attacks, and Market Crashes
Original price was: $159.00.$127.20Current price is: $127.20.Add to cartAre there universal laws governing the persistence of weather, and is it possible to predict climate transitions as generated by natural or man-made perturbations? How can one quantify the roller-coaster dynamics of stock markets and anticipate mega-crashes? Can we diagnose the health condition of patients from heartbeat time-series analysis, which may even form the basis for infarct prevention? This book tackles these questions by applying advanced methods from statistical physics and related fields to all types of non-linear dynamics prone to disaster. The transdisciplinary analysis is organized in some dozen review articles written by world-class scientists.

Transport Modeling in Hydrogeochemical Systems
Original price was: $104.00.$83.20Current price is: $83.20.Add to cartIn the world of reality, we are often faced with describing and predicting the results of experiments. A mathematical model is a set of equations that encapsulates reality; it is a caricature of the real physical system that aids in our understanding of real phenomena. A good model extracts the essential features of the problem and lays out, in a simple manner, those processes and interactions that are important. By design, mathematical models should have predictive capability.
