Introduction to Statistical Methods for Financial Models (Paperback): Thomas A. Severini Introduction to Statistical Methods for Financial Models (Paperback)
Thomas A. Severini
R1,607 Discovery Miles 16 070 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book provides an introduction to the use of statistical concepts and methods to model and analyze financial data. The ten chapters of the book fall naturally into three sections. Chapters 1 to 3 cover some basic concepts of finance, focusing on the properties of returns on an asset. Chapters 4 through 6 cover aspects of portfolio theory and the methods of estimation needed to implement that theory. The remainder of the book, Chapters 7 through 10, discusses several models for financial data, along with the implications of those models for portfolio theory and for understanding the properties of return data. The audience for the book is students majoring in Statistics and Economics as well as in quantitative fields such as Mathematics and Engineering. Readers are assumed to have some background in statistical methods along with courses in multivariate calculus and linear algebra.

Thomas A. Severini
R5,100 Discovery Miles 51 000 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

One of the greatest changes in the sports world in the past 20 years has been the use of mathematical methods to analyze performances, recognize trends and patterns, and predict results. Analytic Methods in Sports: Using Mathematics and Statistics to Understand Data from Baseball, Football, Basketball, and Other Sports, Second Edition provides a concise yet thorough introduction to the analytic and statistical methods that are useful in studying sports. The book gives you all the tools necessary to answer key questions in sports analysis. It explains how to apply the methods to sports data and interpret the results, demonstrating that the analysis of sports data is often different from standard statistical analyses. The book integrates a large number of motivating sports examples throughout and offers guidance on computation and suggestions for further reading in each chapter. Features Covers numerous statistical procedures for analyzing data based on sports results Presents fundamental methods for describing and summarizing data Describes aspects of probability theory and basic statistical concepts that are necessary to understand and deal with the randomness inherent in sports data Explains the statistical reasoning underlying the methods Illustrates the methods using real data drawn from a wide variety of sports Offers many of the datasets on the author's website, enabling you to replicate the analyses or conduct related analyses New to the Second Edition R code included for all calculations A new chapter discussing several more advanced methods, such as binary response models, random effects, multilevel models, spline methods, and principal components analysis, and more Exercises added to the end of each chapter, to enable use for courses and self-study Full solutions manual available to course instructors.

Likelihood Methods in Statistics (Hardcover): Thomas A. Severini Likelihood Methods in Statistics (Hardcover)
Thomas A. Severini
R4,767 Discovery Miles 47 670 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Likelihood methods play a central role in statistical theory and methodology. Recently, a new approach to likelihood inference has been developed that often leads to substantial improvements over classical methods. This book gives a detailed introduction to this modern theory of likelihood methods.

Elements of Distribution Theory (Paperback, New): Thomas A. Severini Elements of Distribution Theory (Paperback, New)
Thomas A. Severini
R1,575 Discovery Miles 15 750 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This detailed introduction to distribution theory uses no measure theory, making it suitable for students in statistics and econometrics as well as for researchers who use statistical methods. Good backgrounds in calculus and linear algebra are important and a course in elementary mathematical analysis is useful, but not required. An appendix gives a detailed summary of the mathematical definitions and results that are used in the book. Topics covered range from the basic distribution and density functions, expectation, conditioning, characteristic functions, cumulants, convergence in distribution and the central limit theorem to more advanced concepts such as exchangeability, models with a group structure, asymptotic approximations to integrals, orthogonal polynomials and saddlepoint approximations. The emphasis is on topics useful in understanding statistical methodology; thus, parametric statistical models and the distribution theory associated with the normal distribution are covered comprehensively.

Semiparametric Efficiency Bounds for Microeconometric Models - A Survey (Paperback): Thomas A. Severini, Gautam Tripathi Semiparametric Efficiency Bounds for Microeconometric Models - A Survey (Paperback)
Thomas A. Severini, Gautam Tripathi
R2,316 Discovery Miles 23 160 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Semiparametric Efficiency Bounds for Microeconometric Models offers a partial review of the vast literature in econometrics and statistics on calculating semiparametric efficiency bounds for a large class of models used in applied economics research. The main role of the efficiency bound is to give a lower bound to the asymptotic variance of an estimator. An estimator with asymptotic variance equal to the efficiency bound can therefore be said to be asymptotically efficient. These bounds are also useful for understanding how the features of a given model affect the accuracy of parameter estimation. This monograph will help researchers learn more about efficiency bounds, their calculation, and their usefulness in semiparametric estimation, in an accessible manner.
