A Gentle Introduction
Actions and Invariants of Algebraic Groups, Second
Edition
Gary L. Mullen, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, USA and James
A. Sellers, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, USA
Series: Textbooks in Mathematics
Walter Ricardo Ferrer Santos, University of the Republic, Uruguay and Alvaro
Rittatore, University of the Republic, Uruguay
Series: Monographs and Research Notes in Mathematics
This book introduces the basic notions of abstract algebra to sophomores and perhaps
even junior mathematics majors who have a relatively weak background with conceptual
courses. It introduces the material with many concrete examples and establishes a firm
foundation for introducing more abstract mathematical notions.
This book provides an introduction to geometric invariant theory by providing the reader
with the tools needed to read the research in this field. Beginning with commutative algebra
and algebraic geometry, the book develops the necessary background of affine algebra
over an algebraically closed field K and then moves toward the eventual application of
invariant theory, Lie algebras, and modern invariant theory. Two new chapters cover
observable actions of affine algebraic groups and observable subgroups of affine monoids.

Abstract Algebra
Advanced Linear Algebra
William Paulsen
Nicholas Loehr, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State
University, Blacksburg, USA
This textbook is for a first undergraduate course in abstract
algebra. It differs from the first edition in that it offers optional
technology and less focus on interactivity. It has a more
traditional approach where additional topics to the primary
syllabus are placed after primary topics are covered, creating a
more common table of contents. Where technology was the
primary motivation of the first edition, this edition is transformed
by historical notes and better explanations of why topics are
covered.
Designed for a second theoretical course in linear algebra, this
text explores a variety of advanced topics in linear algebra that
highlight the rich interconnections of the subject to geometry,
algebra, analysis, combinatorics, numerical computation, and
many other areas of mathematics. The author covers algebraic
structures, matrices, structured matrices, geometric aspects of
linear algebra, modules, and multilinear algebra. He gives
complete proofs of all results and supplements the general
theory with many specific examples and concrete computations.

Abstract Algebra
Advanced Linear Algebra
Structures and Applications
Stephen Lovett
Taking a discovery-based approach, this text helps students
understand the abstraction of modern algebra. It uses the
general concept of an algebraic structure as a unifying principle
and introduces other algebraic structures besides the three
standard ones (groups, rings, and fields). Examples, exercises,
investigative projects, and entire sections illustrate how abstract
algebra is applied to areas of science and other branches of
mathematics, including cryptography and geometry.

Written in clear and concise language, this book covers the
standard topics in a second linear algebra course.The book first
introduces general fields and emphasizes matrix algebra over
finite fields and complex numbers. It then proceeds to cover
vector spaces in depth, addressing vector spaces over general
fields. Also discussed are standard topics in linear algebra
including linear transformations, Jordan canonical form, inner
product spaces, and spectral theory. Additional material covers
dual spaces, quotient spaces, and tensor products. It includes
well-designed exercises and full solutions to almost all exercises.

Non-commutative Algebras and Rings
Michiel Hazewinkel, CWI, Amsterdam, Netherlands and
Nadiya M. Gubareni, Czestochowa University of Technology,
Poland
The theory of algebras, rings, and modules is one of the
fundamental domains of modern mathematics. General algebra,
more specifically non-commutative algebra, is poised for major
advances in the twenty-first century (together with and in
interaction with combinatorics), just as topology, analysis, and
probability experienced in the twentieth century. This volume
is a continuation and an in-depth study, stressing the
non-commutative nature of the first two volumes of Algebras,
Rings and Modules by M. Hazewinkel, N. Gubareni, and V. V.
Kirichenko. It is largely independent of the other volumes. The
relevant constructions and results from earlier volumes have
been presented in this volume.

Recursion Theory and Descriptive Complexity
Cyrus F. Nourani, Independent Consultant in Computing
R&D, San Francisco, California
Richard Klima, Neil Sigmon and Ernest Stitzinger, North
Carolina State University, Raleigh, USA
This book presents new techniques with functorial models to
address important areas on pure mathematics and computability
theory from the algebraic viewpoint. The reader is first
introduced to categories and functorial models, with Kleene
algebra examples for languages. Functorial models for Peano
arithmetic are described toward important computational
complexity areas on a Hilbert program, leading to computability
with initial models. Infinite language categories are also
introduced to explain descriptive complexity with recursive
computability with admissible sets and urelements.

Algebraic Operads
Computational Aspects of Polynomial Identities
An Algorithmic Companion
Volume l, Kemer's Theorems, 2nd Edition
Murray R. Bremner and Vladimir Dotsenko
This book applies the theory of noncommutative Grobner bases
in free associative algebras to the construction of universal
associative envelopes for nonassociative structures defined by
multilinear operations. It begins by recalling the basic definitions
of the most familiar examples of nonassociative structures: finite
dimensional Lie and Jordan algebras and their universal
associative enveloping algebras. It takes an algorithmic approach,
developing just enough theory to motivate the computational
methods. Easier proofs and examples are left as exercises for the
reader.

computations. It shows how to describe and compute geometry
for 3D modeling applications in computer graphics and

Analytic Hyperbolic Geometry in N Dimensions

An Introduction
Abraham Albert Ungar, North Dakota State University,
Fargo, USA
This book introduces for the first time the hyperbolic simplex as
an important concept in -dimensional hyperbolic geometry. The
extension of common Euclidean geometry to dimensions, with
being any positive integer, results in greater generality and
succinctness in related expressions. Using new mathematical
tools, the book demonstrates that this is also the case with
analytic hyperbolic geometry. For example, the author
analytically determines the hyperbolic circumcenter and
circumradius of any hyperbolic simplex.

Emanuela Merelli, Univiersity of Camerino, Macerata, Italy, Marjan Sirjani, Reykjavik
University, Iran and Narges Khakpour, Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran, Iran
Although complex systems have been thoroughly studied by different scientific
communities, Computer Science opens up potential that had not been fully exploited in
this field. This book examines the multi-level nature of complex systems and includes formal
methods for their modeling and the analysis. It presents a formal computational framework
for the study of complex systems and provides concrete evidence of the usefulness of
formal methods in many interdisciplinary research fields, e.g. biological systems and social
systems.

Iterative algorithms often rely on approximate evaluation
techniques, which may include statistical estimation, computer
simulation or functional approximation. This volume presents
methods for the study of approximate iterative algorithms,
providing tools for the derivation of error bounds and
convergence rates, and for the optimal design of such
algorithms. Techniques of functional analysis are used to derive
analytical relationships between approximation methods and
convergence properties for general classes of algorithms. The
volume provides the necessary background in functional analysis
and probability theory and presents extensive applications to Markov decision processes.

theories achieved in the last 30 years with “polynomial methods”, mostly (but not exclusively)
in finite geometries. It contains techniques based on the careful examination of coefficients
of polynomials, resultants, algebraic curves, subspaces generated by certain polynomials,
random-like behaviour, etc. Our polynomials are usually defined over a finite field, and they
express some combinatorial or geometric property of a combinatorial or geometric structure.
We go through several types of applications of the methods. There will be more than a
hundred exercises with short solutions.

well-established techniques and recently developed procedures,
including the classical series solution method, diverse
perturbation methods, pioneering asymptotic methods, and
the latest homotopy methods. It gives a complete description
of the methods without going deep into rigorous mathematical
aspects. Detailed examples illustrate the application of the
methods to solve real-world problems.

Blow-up for Higher-Order Parabolic, Hyperbolic,
Dispersion and Schrodinger Equations
Luca Lorenzi, University of Parma, Italy
The second edition of this book has a new title that more accurately reflects the table of
contents. Over the past few years, many new results have been proven in the field of partial
differential equations. This edition takes those new results into account, in particular the
study of nonautonomous operators with unbounded coefficients, which has received great
attention. Additionally, this edition is the first to use a unified approach to contain the new
results in a singular place.

This book shows how four types of higher-order nonlinear
evolution PDEs have many commonalities through their special
quasilinear degenerate representations. The authors present a
unified approach to deal with these quasilinear PDEs, describe
many properties of the equations, and examine traditional
questions of existence/nonexistence,
uniqueness/nonuniqueness, global asymptotics, regularizations,
shock-wave theory, and various blow-up singularities. The book
illustrates how complex PDEs are used in a variety of applications and describes new
nonlinear phenomena for the equations.

This book explains how the Adomian decomposition method
can solve differential equations for the series solutions of
fundamental problems in physics, astrophysics, chemistry,
biology, medicine, and other scientific areas. It covers the four
classes of the decomposition method: regular/ordinary
decomposition, double decomposition, modified decomposition,
and asymptotic decomposition. The author applies these classes
to Laplace and Navier–Stokes equations in Cartesian and polar
coordinates for obtaining partial solutions of the equations.
Examples of physical and physiological problems demonstrate
the applications.

This proposed research monograph is, uniquely, devoted to a systematic presentation of
several very recent results (and some of them appearing for the first time) referring to
differential equations and inclusions subjected to nonlocal implicit initial conditions. The
major themes of the book consist of a systematic study of the existence, regularity and
continuous dependence on the data. The main abstract results are accompanied by
illuminating examples describing the evolution of various phenomena; this points out the
degree of generality of the developed theory and second, clarifes why the study of these
rather abstract problems is needed in applications.

are vague, imprecise or incomplete due to errors in measurement or other factors, one
may use fuzzy environment in parameters, variables and initial conditions in place of crisp

A Concise Introduction to Pure Mathematics, Fourth
Edition
Optimization
Principles and Algorithms
Martin Liebeck, Imperial College, London, UK
Michel Bierlaire, EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland
Accessible to all students with a sound background in high
school mathematics, this popular text presents some of the most
fundamental and beautiful ideas in pure mathematics. Along
with numerous new exercises, this edition includes two new
chapters that serve as an introduction to abstract algebra via
the theory of groups, covering abstract reasoning as well as
many examples and applications. It also contains new material
on inequalities, counting methods, the inclusion-exclusion
principle, and Euler’s phi function.
Optimization algorithms are critical tools for engineers, but
difficult to use since none of them are universal in application.
This introductery text builds up the knowledge set, from the
basics, so that engineering students can understand the
processes that govern optimization processes. Reinforcing theory
with practice, the book includes discussions on how to match
applications to appropiate methods and why certain approaches
are not adapted to specific requirements. Following the success
and adoption of the French version of this book with
undergraduate and graduate students, the author has translated
and substantially updated and reworked this new English edition.

Einstein Was Right!
Introduction to Finite and Spectral Element
Methods Using MATLAB, Second Edition
Karl Hess, University of Illinois, Urbana, USA
Most modern books on Einstein emphasize the genius of his
relativity theory and the corresponding corrections and
extensions of the ancient space-time concept. However,
Einstein’s opposition to the use of probability in the laws of
nature and particularly in the laws of quantum mechanics are
often portrayed as outdated. This book takes a different view
and shows that Einstein created a "Trojan horse" ready to unleash
forces against the use of probability as a basis for the laws of
nature.

Handbook of Peridynamic Modeling
Mathematics for the Liberal Arts
Edited by Florin Bobaru, University of Nebraska, Lincoln, USA, John T. Foster,
Univeristy of Texas, San Antonio, USA, Philippe H Geubelle, University of Illinois,
Urbana, USA and Stewart A. Silling, Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, New
Mexico, USA
Series: Modern Mechanics and Mathematics
This handbook covers the peridynamic modeling of failure and damage. Peridynamics is
a reformulation of continuum mechanics based on the integration of interactions rather
than the spatial differentiation of displacements. The book extends the classical theory of
continuum mechanics to allow unguided modeling of crack propagation/fracture in brittle,
quasi-brittle, and ductile materials; autonomous transition from continuous
damage/fragmentation to fracture; modeling of long-range forces within a continuous
body; and multiscale coupling in a consistent mathematical framework.

This book establishes a new and original theory of time relativity,
which is fully consistent. It explains why Einstein’s theory of time
relativity is physically meaningless and mathematically based
on tacit inacceptable assumptions, and why it represents the
singular case from the mathematical point of view. The
consistent relativity theory established in the book represents
an exit from the situation created by Einstein’s theory of time

Ronald N. Umble and Zhigang Han
The book gives an overview of methods to study knot projections. The intuitiveness of the
objects allows us to present current research to audiences with a general mathematical
background without requiring any knowledge of special (topology) courses. The book can
be taken as a first approach to topology, alternative to the one given by standard text
books. Exercises will be included. Nevertheless, it is mainly an introduction to an active
research area, including many open questions.
Designed for a one-semester undergraduate course, this text
takes a hands-on, interactive approach to teaching plane
geometry. It is self-contained, defining basic concepts from linear
and abstract algebra gradually as needed. Following the
standards of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics
and the Common Core State Standards, the text provides
students with a concrete visual alternative to Euclid’s purely
axiomatic approach to plane geometry. It uses exploratory
activities to motivate geometrical concepts and includes
exercises at the end of each section.

MATHEMATICAL & COMPUTATIONAL IMAGING
The Shroud of Turin
Visualization Analysis and Design
First Century after Christ!
Giulio Fanti, Padua University, Padova, Italy and Pierandrea
Malfi, Padua University, Padova, Italy
The Turin Shroud is the most important and studied relic in the
world. Many papers on it have recently appeared in important
scientific journals. Scientific studies on the relic until today fail
to provide conclusive answers about the identity of the
enveloped man and the dynamics regarding the image
formation impressed therein. This book not only addresses these
issues in a scientific and objective manner but also leads the
reader through new search paths. It summarizes the results in
a simple manner for the reader to comprehend easily. Many
books on the theme have been already published, but none of
them contains such a quantity of scientific news and reports.

Series: Sustainable Energy Developments
Sequestration of carbon dioxide in underground formations is
considered an effective technique and a viable strategy for the
mitigation of global warming and climate change. Compressed
Air Energy Storage is a relatively new field of geoenvironmental
application, gaining a lot of momentum due to its effective utilization for energy storage.
Renewable energy sources, such as wind energy, can be efficiently stored in the form of a
compressed air in underground formations at off-peak times, and re-utilized upon demand.
Considering the great potential of these two geoenvironmental applications it is vital to
model the involved flow processes and develop numerical tools in this book.

MATHEMATICAL PHYSICS
Beyond Quantum
Nonlinear Physics of Ecosystems
Edited by Andrei Khrennikov, Linnaeus University, Sweden
Ehud Meron, Ben-Gurion University, Sede Boqer, Israel
The present wave of interest in quantum foundations is caused
by the tremendous development of quantum information
science and its applications to quantum computing and
quantum communication. It has become clear that some of the
difficulties encountered in realizations of quantum information
processing have roots at the very fundamental level. To solve
such problems, quantum theory has to be reconsidered. This
book is devoted to the analysis of the probabilistic structure of
quantum theory, probing the limits of classical probabilistic
representation of quantum phenomena.
Using problems from spatial ecology, this book shows how
pattern formation theory can be applied to ecological research.
Written in language understandable to most physicists and
ecologists, it reveals the mechanisms of pattern formation and
pattern dynamics. The book explores the implications of these
mechanisms in important ecological problems, including
self-organized vegetation patchiness, desertification, and
biodiversity in changing environments. It also discusses recent
developments, such as pattern-forming systems subjected to
external periodic forcing, not covered in similar books.

and Slobodan Anic, University of Belgrade, Beograd, Serbia
Bor-Sen Chen, National Tsing Hua University, Hsinchu,
Taiwan R.O.C and Yu-Chao Wang, National Tsing Hua
University, Hsinchu, Taiwan
This book presents theoretical and experimental methods and describes their application
for the analysis of real experimental systems and kinetic models. It describes how complex
features of biochemical systems arise from underlying molecular interactions, tools available
for their quantitative characterization, the functional role of dynamics, and how scientists
can use self-organization to their advantage.
This book develops a rational design and systematic approach
to construct a gene network with desired behaviors. In order to
achieve this goal, the registry of standard biological parts and
experimental techniques are introduced at first. Then these
biological components are characterized by a standard modeling
method and collected in the component libraries, which can
be efficiently reused in engineering synthetic gene networks.
Based on the system theory, some design specifications are
provided to engineer the synthetic gene networks to robustly
track the desired trajectory by employing the component
libraries.

Risk Parity Fundamentals
A Systems Perspective on Financial Systems
Edward E. Qian
The proposed book will consists of a series of essays that provides fundamental investment
insights and answers practical questions regarding the popular risk parity investment
strategies. Risk parity refers to the investing approach that uses risk budgeting, or risk
allocation, instead of capital allocation, to construct investment portfolios. The active
process of using risk budgeting to build portfolios has a short history. Even though risk
parity has been gaining some degree of acceptance by investment community and the
quantitative process associated with risk budgeting has been understood mathematically,
there are many practical questions facing investors and perplexing its critics.

Iterative Methods without Inversion
Numerical Analysis for Engineers
Anatoly Galperin
Methods and Applications, Second Edition
This book is about iterative methods for solving operator equations f(x) = 0 in Banach
and/or Hilbert spaces. It covers methods that do not require inversions of f (or solving
linearized subproblems). The typical representatives of the class of methods discussed are
Ulm’s and Broyden’s methods. Convergence analyses of the methods considered are based
on Kantorovich’s majorization principle which allows to avoid unnecessary simplifying
assumptions like differentiability of the operator or solvability of the equation. These analyses
are carried out under a more general assumption about degree of continuity of the operator
than traditional Lipschitz continuity: regular continuity.

Series: Operations Research Series
This text focuses on different mathematical, statistical, and quantitative tools for solving a
variety of theoretical as well as practical decision analysis problems. It covers a whole gamut
of interesting ideas starting from robust optimization, multi-criteria decision making,
meta-heuristic techniques, project management, and more. It also includes chapters related
to networks and game theory, time series analysis, volatility modeling, queuing and
scheduling theory, ANN, DSS, and different statistical tools in this two-volume handbook.
A reference for those working at the interface of operations
planning and optimization modeling, this book blends essential
theory and powerful approaches to practical operations planning
problems. Starting with the Knapsack Problem, it presents a set
of classical optimization models with widespread application in
operations planning. The discussion of each of these classical
models begins with the motivation for studying the problem as
well as examples of the problem’s application in operations
planning contexts. The book explores special structural results
and properties of optimal solutions that have led to effective
algorithmic solution approaches for each problem class.

REAL, COMPLEX & FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS
Analysis with Ultrasmall Numbers
Complex Analysis
Karel Hrbacek, City College of New York, USA, Olivier
Lessmann, College Rousseau, Genieve and Richard
O'Donovan, CEC Andre-Charanne, Genieve
This text presents an intuitive treatment of mathematics using
ultrasmall numbers. With this modern approach to infinitesimals,
proofs become simpler and more focused on the combinatorial
heart of arguments, unlike traditional treatments that use
epsilon–delta methods. Readers can fully prove fundamental
results, such as the Extreme Value Theorem, from the axioms
immediately, without needing to master notions of supremum
or compactness. The book includes numerous exercises
throughout and at the end of each chapter.
Conformal Inequalities and the Bieberbach Conjecture

SET THEORY & LOGIC
Application of Fuzzy Logic to Social Choice Theory
Proof Theory
John N. Mordeson, Creighton University, Omaha, Nebraska,
USA, Davender S. Malik, Creighton University, Omaha,
Nebraska, USA and Terry D. Clark, Creighton University,
Omaha, Nebraska, USA
Fuzzy social choice theory is useful for modeling the uncertainty
and imprecision prevalent in social life yet it has been scarcely
applied and studied in the social sciences. Filling this gap, this
book provides a comprehensive study of fuzzy social choice
theory. It focuses on Arrow’s theorem, one of the most important
discoveries in social theory. The authors show how Black’s
median voter theorem solves the Arrowian impossibility theorem
by restricting preferences to single-peaked profiles. They also
obtain Arrow-type results using an involutive fuzzy complement.

Sequent Calculi and Related Formalisms
Katalin Bimbo, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada
Although sequent calculi constitute an important category of
proof systems, they are not as well known as axiomatic and
natural deduction systems. Addressing this deficiency, this book
presents a comprehensive treatment of sequent calculi, including
a wide range of variations. It focuses on sequent calculi for
various non-classical logics, from intuitionistic logic to relevance
logic, linear logic, and modal logic. The author presents a variety
of proof systems for classical and non-classical logics and devotes
chapters to proofs of cut theorems and decidability theorems.

The Truth Value Algebra of Type-2 Fuzzy Sets
Elliott Mendelson, Queens College, Flushing, New York,
USA
John Harding, Carol L. Walker, New Mexico State University, Las Cruces, USA and
Elbert A. Walker
This bestselling, classic textbook continues to provide a complete
one-semester introduction to mathematical logic. The sixth
edition incorporates recent work on Gödel’s second
incompleteness theorem as well as an appendix on consistency
proofs for first-order arithmetic. It also offers historical
perspectives and many new exercises of varying difficulty, which
motivate and lead students to an in-depth, practical
understanding of the material.
This mongraph is on the topic of type-2 fuzzy sets from a mathematical as opposed to an
engineering perspective. It will be of interest to mathematicians who work in fields related
to fuzzy sets as well as those who work with universal algebra. The book will make
connections to logic, but will focus on truth value algebras which is fundamental to the
subject. The underlying principles of this book will lead to connections with many other
fields of mathematics like lattice theory, topological algebras, complex algebras and category
theory. A major feature of this book will be the emphasis on applications as the subalgebra
of normal convex functions will be covered.

Absolute risk is the probability of developing a specific disease over a specified time interval
in the presence of competing causes of mortality. Although absolute risk is arguably more
relevant to clinical decision making than "pure" risk, the development of appropriate
statistical methods for estimating and applying absolute risk has lagged behind those for
pure risk. This book focuses on the development, evaluation, and application of models of
absolute risk.

Fundamentals of Systems Biology
Microarray Image and Data Analysis
From Synthetic Circuits to Whole-cell Models
Theory and Practice
Markus W. Covert, Stanford University, California, USA
For decades biology has focused on decoding cellular processes
one gene at a time, but many of the most pressing questions
and diseases such as cancer and heart disease are related to the
interaction of hundreds, or even thousands, of gene products.
How do we begin to understand this complexity? Systems
biology addresses this need, standing at the intersection of
computational modeling and high-throughput molecular
biology. This textbook introduces readers to the field, walking
them through studies that are the foundation and frontier of
systems biology.

The rapid developments in GIS such as data integration and
representation, spatial data products, and new spatial data
mining methods, are forcing users to deal with data of unknown
or ambiguous quality; thus, unpredictable risk in decision making
is inevitable. This book covers aspects of spatial data quality that
have been scarcely addressed. In the era of big data, the mass
volume of heterogeneous data and the proper use of the
acquired geospatial data remain a significant challenge for GIS
users and need to be investigated.

Reliability is quality over time. It is formally defined as the
probability of a product or system performing as intended for
a specified time. Improper analysis of product reliability can be
very expensive or even fatal. Many of the product recalls that
we see daily are due to unexpected failures resulting from poor
reliability analysis during the product design stage. Minitabis a
statistical software package that has a highly useful set of
"Reliability/Survival" tools, but those tools are barely explored
or explained in literature. This new book illustrates the
application of Minitabfor Reliability Analysis using case studies
in both manufacturing and service sectors.

Measuring Statistical Evidence Using Relative Belief
Modern Survey Sampling
Michael Evans, University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Probability
This book provides an overview of recent work on developing
a theory of statistical inference based on measuring statistical
evidence. It attempts to establish a gold standard for how a
statistical analysis should proceed. The book illustrates relative
belief theory using many examples and describes the strengths
and weaknesses of the theory. The author also addresses
fundamental statistical issues, including the meaning of
probability, the role of subjectivity, the meaning of objectivity,
and the role of infinity and continuity.
Arijit Chaudhuri, Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata, India
Starting from the preliminaries through live examples, the author
tells the story about what a sample intends to communicate to
a reader about the unknowable aggregate in a real situation.
The story develops its own logic and a motivation for the reader
to put up with, herein follows. Various intellectual approaches
are set forth, in as lucid a manner as possible. Developments
reached hitherto are presented and reviewed. Certain fresh and
unseen problems are also noted and possible solutions are hit
upon.

have evolved. The changes to Stata and to the authors' views
inspired the authors to completely rewrite their popular SPost
commands to take advantage of the power of the margins
command and the flexibility of factor-variable notation.

sets that can be easily downloaded from the web.
This book explains how to analyze statistical models with hidden
(latent) variables. It takes a systematic, geometric approach to
studying the semialgebraic structure of latent tree models. The
first part of the book introduces key concepts in algebraic
statistics, focusing on methods that are helpful in the study of
models with hidden variables. The second part illustrates
important examples of tree models with hidden variables. The

Behavioral Sciences
Ordered regression models differ from nominal outcome models
in that the category order is meaningful. Thus, changing the
order of the categories affects the results. This book provides
in-depth coverage on a wide range of ordered regression
models, including several models that are quite useful yet not
included in other books on ordered models. It discusses multiple
estimation approaches, including person-level and
person/threshold-level estimators. The book assumes a basic
background in OLS and binary regression models.

This book lays the foundations for a new area of interdisciplinary
research that uses statistical techniques to investigate the
synoptic problem in New Testament studies, which concerns
the relationships between the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and
Luke. There are potential applications of the techniques to study
other sets of similar documents. The book presents core
statistical material on the use of hidden Markov models to
analyze binary time series. The binary time series data sets and
R code used are available on the author’s website.
