A solid, rigorous, yet comprehensible analysis of process capability indices, this work bridges the gap between theoretical statisticians and quality control practitioners, showing how an understanding of these indices can lead to process improvement.

This book provides a comprehensive survey of the most recent methodology--both theoretical and applied--on the statistical analysis and detection of defective/"non-conforming" items in various types of inspection for attributes, when the inspection itself is subject to error.

Balakrishnan and Normal L. Johnson Discover the latest advances in discrete distributions theory The Third Edition of the critically acclaimed Univariate Discrete Distributions provides a self-contained, systematic treatment of the theory, derivation, and application of probability distributions for count data. Generalized zeta-function and q-series distributions have been added and are covered in detail. New families of distributions, including Lagrangian-type distributions, are integrated into this thoroughly revised and updated text. Additional applications of univariate discrete distributions are explored to demonstrate the flexibility of this powerful method. A thorough survey of recent statistical literature draws attention to many new distributions and results for the classical distributions. Approximately 450 new references along with several new sections are introduced to reflect the current literature and knowledge of discrete distributions. Beginning with mathematical, probability, and statistical fundamentals, the authors provide clear coverage of the key topics in the field, including:  Families of discrete distributions Binomial distribution Poisson distribution Negative binomial distribution Hypergeometric distributions Logarithmic and Lagrangian distributions Mixture distributions Stopped-sum distributions Matching, occupancy, runs, and q-series distributions Parametric regression models and miscellanea  Emphasis continues to be placed on the increasing relevance of Bayesian inference to discrete distribution, especially with regard to the binomial and Poisson distributions. New derivations of discrete distributions via stochastic processes and random walks are introduced without unnecessarily complex discussions of stochastic processes. Throughout the Third Edition, extensive information has been added to reflect the new role of computer-based applications. With its thorough coverage and balanced presentation of theory and application, this is an excellent and essential reference for statisticians and mathematicians.

Survival analysis deals with the distribution of life times, essentially the times from an initiating event such as birth or the start of a job to some terminal event such as death or pension. This book, originally published in 1980, surveys and analyzes methods that use survival measurements and concepts, and helps readers apply the appropriate method for a given situation. Four broad sections cover introductions to data, univariate survival function, multiple-failure data, and advanced topics.

Balakrishnan, N.

Timely, comprehensive, practical--an important working resource forall who use this critical statistical method Discrete Multivariate Distributions is the only comprehensive,single-source reference for this increasingly important statisticalsubdiscipline. It covers all significant advances that haveoccurred in the field over the past quarter century in the theory,methodology, computational procedures, and applications of discretemultivariate distributions in a wide range of disciplines.Distributions covered include multinomial, binomial, negativebinomial, Poisson, power series, hypergeometric, Polya-Eggenberger,Ewens, orders, and some families of distributions. Eachdistribution is presented in its own chapter, along with necessarydetails and descriptions of real-world applications gleaned fromthe current literature on discrete multivariatedistributions. Discrete Multivariate Distributions is the fourth volume of theongoing revision of Johnson and Kotz's acclaimed Distributions inStatistics--universally acknowledged to be the definitive work onstatistical distributions. Originally planned as a revision ofChapter 11 of that classic, this project soon blossomed into asubstantial volume as a result of the unprecedented growth that hasoccurred in the literature on discrete multivariate distributionsand their applications over the past quarter century. The only comprehensive, single-volume work on the subject, thisvaluable reference affords statisticians direct access to all ofthe latest developments concerning discrete multivariatedistributions. Concentrating primarily on areas of interest totheoretical as well as applied statisticians, the authors providecomplete coverage of several important discrete multivariatedistributions. These include multinomial, binomial, negativebinomial, Poisson, power series, hypergeometric, Polya-Eggenberger,Ewens, orders, and some families of distributions. Discrete Multivariate Distributions begins with a general overviewof the multivariate method in which the authors lay the basictheoretical groundwork for the discussions that follow. For clarityand consistency, subsequent chapters follow a similar format,beginning with a concise historical account followed by adiscussion of properties and characteristics. Coverage thenadvances to in-depth explorations of inferential issues andapplications, liberally supplemented with helpful details and acollection of real-world applications obtained from the authors'extensive searches of current literature worldwide. Discrete Multivariate Distributions is an essential workingresource for researchers, professionals, practitioners, andgraduate students in statistics, mathematics, computer science,engineering, medicine, and the biological sciences.

Continuous Multivariate Distributions, Volume 1, Second Edition provides a remarkably comprehensive, self-contained resource for this critical statistical area. It covers all significant advances that have occurred in the field over the past quarter century in the theory, methodology, inferential procedures, computational and simulational aspects, and applications of continuous multivariate distributions. In-depth coverage includes MV systems of distributions, MV normal, MV exponential, MV extreme value, MV beta, MV gamma, MV logistic, MV Liouville, and MV Pareto distributions, as well as MV natural exponential families, which have grown immensely since the 1970s. Each distribution is presented in its own chapter along with descriptions of real-world applications gleaned from the current literature on continuous multivariate distributions and their applications.
