Overview: Integrates modern and classical shrinkage estimation and contributes to further developments in the field.Presents direct proof of Brown’s 1971 seminal work on determination of admissibility of generaThis book provides a self-contained introduction of Stein/shrinkage estimation for the mean vector of a multivariate normal distribution. The book begins with a brief discussion of basic notions and results from decision theory such as admissibility, minimaxity, and (generalized) Bayes estimation. It also presents Stein‘s unbiased risk estimator and the James-Stein estimator in the first

Overview: BERNW ARD JOERGES AND HELGA NOWOTNY YET ANOTHER TURN The thing that doesn‘t fit is the thing that‘s most interesting. Richard Fcynman This volume was originally conceived as a contribution to yet another ‘tum‘, not cap­ tured by one of the many adjectives that have served to describe the collective meander­ ing of the scholarly community in search of direction, It was meant to mark the millen­ nial turn, a seemingly purely chronological event, but one in search for great meanings and invested with loaded significances. The editors wanted to seize the opportunity of the moment in orde

Overview: .From the preface:. This volume is a collection of papers presented at the U.S. - Japan Joint Seminar on Stochastic Approaches in Earthquake Engineering held on May 6 and 7, 1987. The general theme of the two-day program was the application of probability and statistics to engineering problems related to strong ground motion. Within this general theme a great variety of subject matters were covered, including earthquake cataloging, ground motion modeling, system identification, failure mechanisms, response and reliability analyses, numerical techniques, and active control. The engine

Overview: Industrial products that are made from, or contain, nitrogen are described in parts of some encyclopedias and standard reference works. However it is not always simple to determine from these varied sources the present status of the technology and markets for various nitrogen products. We therefore perceived a need for a text that provides a comprehensive description of: 1) products that are made from or that contain nitrogen; 2) the processes that produce these products; and 3) the markets that consume these products. I have attempted to present the material in a standardized format

Overview: Eine empirische Studie.Prüfung einschlägiger Globalisierungsthesen.Julian Klinkhammer prüft am paradigmatischen Fall der Schweiz, inwiefern zentrale Thesen zur Globalisierung des Managements auf die Industrieelite zutreffen. Anhand von Lebensverläufen und qualitativen Interviews zeigt die Studie, dass im Generationenvergleich weder eine rückhaltlos globale Elite noch eine vollkommen neoliberale Unternehmensführung Einzug ins Top-Management gehalten haben. Stattdessen ist die Schweiz aus managementsoziologischer Perspektive in einen Prozess weltweiter Industrialisierung eingebettet. D
