Now in its 6th edition, the authoritative textbook Applied Multivariate Statistics for the Social Sciences, continues to provide advanced students with a practical and conceptual understanding of statistical procedures through examples and data-sets from actual research studies.With the added expertise of co-author Keenan Pituch (University of Texas-Austin), this 6th edition retains many key features of…
Rapid developments in nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory have led to publication of many valuable monographs and books.However, most of these texts are devoted to the classical nonlinear dynamics systems, for example the Duffing or van der Pol oscillators, and either neglect or refer only briefly to systems with motion-dependent discontinuities. In engineering practice a…
Nonlinear time series methods have developed rapidly over a quarter of a century and have reached an advanced state of maturity during the last decade.Implementations of these methods for experimental data are now widely accepted and fairly routine; however, genuinely useful applications remain rare. This book focuses on the practice of applying these methods to…
