Coins give us a sublime and tangible connection to history and an artistic expression of the ideals and values of their periods. Like art, a collector need not attempt a “complete” collection of denominations and designs – a representative example of each of various major design families or individual designs can be quite enjoyable, satisfying and informative. This volume with its timeline is targeted to beginning and novice coin collectors to promote the enjoyment and appreciation of US coin design history, but hopefully experienced collectors will also gain new insights.
A unique overview that melds the concepts of conditionalprobability and stochastic processes into real-lifeapplications The role of randomization techniques in clinical trials has becomeincreasingly important. This comprehensive guide combines both theapplied aspects of randomization in clinical trials with aprobabilistic treatment of properties of randomization. Taking anunabashedly non-Bayesian and nonparametric approach to inference,the book focuses on the linear rank test under a randomizationmodel, with added discussion on likelihood-based inference as itrelates to sufficiency and ancillarity. Developments in stochasticprocesses and applied probability are also given where appropriate.Intuition is stressed over mathematics, but not without a cleardevelopment of the latter in the context of the former. Providing a consolidated review of the field, the book includesrelevant and practical discussions of: * The benefits of randomization in terms of reduction of bias * Randomization as a basis for inference * Covariate-adaptive and response-adaptive randomization * Current philosophies, controversies, and new developments With ample problem sets, theoretical exercises, and short computersimulations using SAS, Randomization in Clinical Trials: Theory andPractice is equally useful as a standard textbook in biostatisticsgraduate programs as well as a reliable reference forbiostatisticians in practice.
This volume has relevance to a wide number of courses, giving a hands-on introduction to chemistry in relation to community issues rather than around specific chemical concepts.
