This book represents the result of collaboration between scientists from many disciplines to show how these conflicts can be resolved.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntroduces important concepts in modelling, outlining different traditions in the use of simple and complex modelling in statistics. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides numerous case studies on complex modelling, such as climate change, flood risk and new drug development. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConcentrates on varying models, including flood risk analysis models, the petrol industry forecasts and summarizes the evolution of water distribution systems. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWritten by experienced statisticians and engineers in order to facilitate communication between modellers in different disciplines. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides a glossary giving terms commonly used in different modelling traditions. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book provides a much-needed reference guide to approaching statistical modelling. Scientists involved with modelling complex systems in areas such as climate change, flood prediction and prevention, financial market modelling and systems engineering will benefit from this book. It will also be a useful source of modelling case histories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBook Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wiley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2011-11-07\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780470740026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 220\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44378722369676,"sku":"9780470740026","price":107.06,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780470740026_e4ff420d-19c6-4aea-b203-7ede0f0db789.jpg?v=1768917831","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780470740026","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
