Elements of a Combinatorial Theory of Coherent Systems

Advances in Distribution Theory, Order Statistics, and Inference

Barry Arnold has made fundamental contributions to many different areas of statistics, including distribution theory, Bayesian inference, multivariate analysis, bounds and orderings, and characterization problems. Organized to honor Arnold’s significant contributions to the field, this volume is an outgrowth of the "International Conference on Distribution Theory, Order Statistics, and Inference," held at the University of Cantabria, Santander, Spain. Several distinguished and active researchers highlight some of the recent developments in statistical distribution theory, order statistics and their properties, as well as inferential methods associated with them. Applications to survival analysis, reliability, quality control, and environmental problems are emphasized. This comprehensive reference work will serve the statistical and applied mathematics communities, as well as practitioners, researchers, and graduate students in applied probability and statistics, reliability engineering, and biostatistics.

Combinatorial and Geometric Representation Theory

This volume presents the proceedings of the international conference on Combinatorial and Geometric Representation Theory. In the field of representation theory, a wide variety of mathematical ideas are providing new insights, giving powerful methods for understanding the theory, and presenting various applications to other branches of mathematics. Over the past two decades, there have been remarkable developments. This book explains the strong connections between combinatorics, geometry, and representation theory. It is suitable for graduate students and researchers interested in representation theory.
