Applied Choice Analysis: A Primer

Applied Choice Analysis
Cambridge University Press 2005-08-29 ISBN: 0521844266 742 pages PDF 5,2 MB

In recent years, there has been growing interest in the development and application of quantitative statistical methods to study choices made by individuals. This primer provides an introduction to the main techniques of choice analysis and also includes details on data collection and preparation, model estimation and interpretation and the design of choice experiments. A companion website offers practice data sets and software to apply modeling and data skills presented in the book.This book is massive, and hence the term "primer" may be a little misleading. But if you really want to understand how to model choice data for a range of models, the book is outstanding. Other books focus more on the econometrics of the models, which are pivotal to know. But this book builds upon that by walking you through a series of increasingly-complex models, allowing you to understand why you need to perform particular modeling tasks. Enjoy this great book!

A Guide to LATEX: Document Preparation for Beginners and Advanced Users

Helmut Kopka, Patrick W. Daly

“A Guide to LATEX: Document Preparation for Beginners and Advanced Users (3rd Edition)" Addison-Wesley Professional 1999-01-25 ISBN: 0201398257 Djvu 600 pages 8,5 Mb

A completely revised edition of this accessible guide to LATEX document preparation, bringing it up to date with the latest releases and Web ad PC based developments. A Guide to LATEX covers the basics as well as advanced LATEX topics and contains numerous practical examples and handy tips for avoiding problems. It covers the latest LATEX extensions and has been completely updated to cover latest releases and upgrades. The book explains the LATEX macro package for the TEX text formatting program, presenting a complete description for beginners, going on to more advanced and specialized features. Files for LATEX processing contain the actual text plus markup and programming command, al as ASCII text, something tat makes them portable to every computer system. The LATEX/TEX program processes these files to produce high-quality typeset results, especially for complicated mathematics.LATEX offers the user all the features of any text processing system: automatic section formatting, numbering of sections, figures, tables and equations, table of contents, lists of figures and tables, cross-referencing to the numbers, bibliography, keyword index, colour, inclusion of illustrations. All of these are demonstrated to the reader via examples and exercises through a structure that takes him or her from the simplest beginnings to the more complicated refinements.

Theory of Periodic Conjugate Heat Transfer

Yuri B. Zudin “Theory of Periodic Conjugate Heat Transfer" Springer 2007-11-09 ISBN: 3540707239 162 pages PDF 1,6 MB A new calculation method is presented for heat transfer in coupled convective-conductive fluid-wall systems under periodical intensity oscillations in fluid flow. It is demonstrated that the true steady-state mean value of the heat transfer coefficient has to be multiplied by a newly defined coupling factor. This correction factor is always smaller than one and depends on the coupling parameters Biot number, Fourier number as well as dimensionless geometry and oscillation parameters. For characteristic periodic heat transfer problems, analytical solutions are given for the coupling factor. To facilitate engineering application, the monograph also presents the analytical results in accompanying tables and diagrams.

Fractals and Hyperspaces

Keith R. Wicks “Fractals and Hyperspaces" Springer 1993-02-12 ISBN: 354054965X 168 pages PDF 8,2 MB Addressed to all readers with an interest in fractals, hyperspaces, fixed-point theory, tilings and nonstandard analysis, this book presents its subject in an original and accessible way complete with many figures. The first part of the book develops certain hyperspace theory concerning the Hausdorff metric and the Vietoris topology, as a foundation for what follows on self-similarity and fractality. A major feature is that nonstandard analysis is used to obtain new proofs of some known results much more slickly than before. The theory of J.E. Hutchinson's invariant sets (sets composed of smaller images of themselves) is developed, with a study of when such a set is tiled by its images and a classification of many invariant sets as either regular or residual. The last and most original part of the book introduces the notion of a "view" as part of a framework for studying the structure of sets within a given space. This leads to new, elegant concepts (defined purely topologically) of self-similarity and fractality: in particular, the author shows that many invariant sets are "visually fractal", i.e. have infinite detail in a certain sense. These ideas have considerable scope for further development, and a list of problems and lines of research is included.

Mathematics of Financial Markets

Mathematics of Financial MarketsSpringer 1998-12-21 ISBN: 0387985530 304 pages PDF 1,4 MBRecent years have seen a number of introductory texts which focus on the applications of modern stochastic calculus to the theory of finance, and on the pricing models for derivative securities in particular. Some of these books develop the mathematics very quickly, making substantial demands on the readerÕs background in advanced probability theory. Others emphasize the financial applications and do not attempt a rigorous coverage of the continuous-time calculus.Enjoy this great book! Brought to you by SMIRK
