Foundations of Statistical Algorithms

With References to R Packages

af Claus Weihs

Reviewing the historical development of basic algorithms to illuminate the evolution of today¿s more powerful statistical algorithms, this comprehensive textbook emphasizes recurring themes in all statistical algorithms including computation, assessment and verification, iteration, intuition, randomness, repetition and parallelization, and scalability. Unique in scope, it touches on topics not usually covered in similar books, namely, systematic verification and the scaling of many established t... (Læs mere)
