Elements of Applied Stochastic Processes, 2nd Edition

Fundamentals of Queueing Theory, 2nd Edition Donald Gross and Carl M. Harris A graduate text and reference treating queueing theory from the development of standard models to applications. The emphasis is on real analysis of queueing systems, applications, and problem solving. It has been brought up-to-date by modernizing older treatments. 1985 (0 471-89067-7) 475 pp. Multivariate Descriptive Analysis Correspondence Analysis and Related Techniques for Large Matrices Ludovic Lebart, Alain Morineau and Kenneth M. Warwick Presents a set of statistical methods for exploratory analysis of large date sets and categorical data. This unique approach uses graphical aspects of multidimensional scaling techniques within the context of exploratory data analysis. 1984 (0 471-86743-8) 231 pp. Introduction to Linear Regression Analysis Douglas C. Montgomery and Elizabeth A. Peck A definitive introduction to linear regression analysis covering basic topics as well as recent approaches in the field. It blends theory and application in a way that enables readers to apply regression methodology in a variety of practical settings. Many detailed examples drawn directly from various fields of engineering, physical science, and the management sciences provide clear guidance to the use of the techniques. The interface with widely available computer programs for regression analysis is illustrated throughout with numerous actual computer printouts. 1982 (0 471-05850-5) 504 pp.
