This new edited volume features contributions from many of the
leading scientists in probability and statistics from the latter
part of the 20th century. It is the only book to assemble the views
of these leading scientists--the pioneers in their respective
fields. Stochastic Musings features contributions by: *Sir David
Cox on statistics and econometrics; *C.R. Rao, M.B. Rao, and D.N.
Shanbhag on convex sets of multivariate distributions and their
extreme points; *Bradley Efron on the future of statistics; *David
Freedman on regression association and causation; *Vic Barnett on
sample ordering for effective statistical inference with particular
reference to environmental issues; *David Bartholomew on a unified
statistical approach to some measurement problems in the social
sciences; *Joe Gani on scanning a lattice for a particular pattern;
*Leslie Kish on new paradigms for probability sampling (his last
paper); *Samuel Kotz and Norman L. Johnson on limit distributions
of uncorrelated but dependent distributions on the unit square;
*Samuel Kotz and Saralees Nadarajah on some new elliptical
distributions; *Jef Teugels on the life span of a renewal;
*Wolfgang Urfer and Katharina Emrich on maximum likelihood
estimates of genetic effects; and **Vladimir M. Zolotarev on
convergence rate estimates in functional limit theorems. The volume
also includes the following contributions by faculty members of the
Department of Statistics, Athens University of Economics and
Business: *J. Panaretos, E. Xekalaki, and S. Psarakis on a
predictive model evaluation and selection approach--the correlated
gamma ratio distribution; *J. Panaretos and Z. Tsourti on extreme
value index estimators and smoothing alternatives; *E. Xekalaki and
D. Karlis on mixtures everywhere; and * Ir. Moustaki on latent
variable models with covariates. Stochastic Musings will appeal to
researchers, professionals, and students interested in the history
and development of statistics and probability as well as in related
areas, such as physics, biometry, economics, and mathematics.
Academic and professional statisticians will benefit from the
book's coverage of the latest developments in the field, as well as
reflections on the future directions of the discipline.
