Nonparametric Function Estimation, Modeling, and Simulation

Topics emphasized include nonparametric density estimation as an exploratory device plus the deeper models to which the exploratory analysis points, multi-dimensional data analysis, and analysis of remote sensing data, cancer progression, chaos theory, epidemiological modeling, and parallel based algorithms. New methods discussed are quick nonparametric density estimation based techniques for resampling and simulation based estimation techniques not requiring closed form solutions. Special features include:* Concrete examples illustrate the theories presented.* Multi-dimensional problems are addressed.* A computer is used as an integral part of the modeling process.
