Statistical Decision Theory and Related Topics V

About this book

This volume comprises the invited papers at the Fifth Purdue Symposium on Statistical Decision Theory and Related Topics. The series of conferences is now well-established as presenting a superb state-of-the-art review of the subject. These papers are grouped into six parts which each give a detailed account of the latest theoretical and research developments in the areas of: A Retrospective on Wald's Decision Theory and Sequential Analysis, Asymptotics and Nonparametrics, Bayesian Analysis, Decision Theory and Selection Procedures, Probability and Probabilistic Structures, Sequential, Adaptive and Filtering problems. Consequently, this volume is ideally suited for researchers and graduate students in statistics and the decision sciences.
