The 37 expository articles in this volume provide broad coverage of
important topics relating to the theory, methods, and applications
of goodness-of-fit tests and model validity. The book is divided
into eight parts, each of which presents topics written by expert
researchers in their areas. Key features include: *
state-of-the-art exposition of modern model validity methods,
graphical techniques, and computer-intensive methods * systematic
presentation with sufficient history and coverage of the
fundamentals of the subject * exposure to recent research and a
variety of open problems * many interesting real life examples for
practitioners * extensive bibliography, with special emphasis on
recent literature * subject index This comprehensive reference work
will serve the statistical and applied mathematics communities as
well as practitioners in the field.
The book is a selection of invited chapters, all of which deal
with various aspects of mathematical and statistical models and
methods in reliability. Written by renowned experts in the field of
reliability, the contributions cover a wide range of applications,
reflecting recent developments in areas such as survival analysis,
aging, lifetime data analysis, artificial intelligence, medicine,
carcinogenesis studies, nuclear power, financial modeling, aircraft
engineering, quality control, and transportation.
"Mathematical and Statistical Models and Methods in Reliability"
is an excellent reference text for researchers and practitioners in
applied probability and statistics, industrial statistics,
engineering, medicine, finance, transportation, the oil and gas
industry, and artificial intelligence.

Fundamental Biomaterials: Polymers provides current information on
findings and developments of biopolymers and their conversion from
base materials to medical devices. Chapters analyze the types of
polymers and discuss a range of biomedical applications. It is the
first title in a three volume set, with each reviewing the most
important and commonly used classes of biomaterials and providing
comprehensive information on classification, materials properties,
behavior, biocompatibility and applications. The book concludes
with essential information on wear, lifetime prediction and
cytotoxicity of biomaterials. This title will be of use to
researchers and professionals in development stages, but will also
help medical researchers understand and effectively communicate the
requirements of a biomaterial for a specific application. Further,
with the recent introduction of a number of interdisciplinary
bio-related undergraduate and graduate programs, this book will be
an appropriate reference volume for large number of students at
undergraduate and post graduate levels.
Fundamental Biomaterials: Metals provides current information on
the development of metals and their conversion from base materials
to medical devices. Chapters analyze the properties of metals and
discuss a range of biomedical applications, with a focus on
orthopedics. While the book will be of great use to researchers and
professionals in the development stages of design for more
appropriate target materials, it will also help medical researchers
understand, and more effectively communicate, the requirements for
a specific application. With the recent introduction of a number of
interdisciplinary bio-related undergraduate and graduate programs,
this book will be an appropriate reference volume for students. It
represents the second volume in a three volume set, each of which
reviews the most important and commonly used classes of
biomaterials, providing comprehensive information on materials
properties, behavior, biocompatibility and applications.
Fundamental Biomaterials: Ceramics provides current information on
ceramics and their conversion from base materials to medical
devices. Initial chapters review biomedical applications and types
of ceramics, with subsequent sections focusing on the properties of
ceramics, and on corrosion, degradation and wear of ceramic
biomaterials. The book is ideal for researchers and professionals
in the development stages of design, but is also helpful to medical
researchers who need to understand and communicate the requirements
of a biomaterial for a specific application. This title is the
second in a three volume set, with each reviewing the most
important and commonly used classes of biomaterials and providing
comprehensive information on material properties, behavior,
biocompatibility and applications. In addition, with the recent
introduction of a number of interdisciplinary bio-related
undergraduate and graduate programs, this book will be an
appropriate reference volume for large number of students at
undergraduate and post graduate levels
