A milestone in the published literature on the subject, this
first-ever Handbook of Beta Distribution and Its Applications
clearly enumerates the properties of beta distributions and related
mathematical notions. It summarizes modern applications in a
variety of fields, reviews up-and-coming progress from the front
lines of statistical research and practice, and demonstrates the
applicability of beta distributions in fields such as economics,
quality control, soil science, and biomedicine. The book discusses
the centrality of beta distributions in Bayesian inference, the
beta-binomial model and applications of the beta-binomial
distribution, and applications of Dirichlet integrals.
This important book provides an up-to-date comprehensive and
down-to-earth survey of the theory and practice of extreme value
distributions — one of the most prominent success stories of
modern applied probability and statistics. Originated by E J Gumbel
in the early forties as a tool for predicting floods, extreme value
distributions evolved during the last 50 years into a coherent
theory with applications in practically all fields of human
endeavor where maximal or minimal values (the so-called extremes)
are of relevance. The book is of usefulness both for a beginner
with a limited probabilistic background and to expert in the field.
