Adaptive methods can be found in all fields of statistics. Written by an eminent statistician who has a strong working knowledge of all the key areas in statistics that make use of adaptive designs, this book presents the theory and methodology of stagewise adaptive designs in all applicable fields of statistics. The book includes such novel content as Bayesian dynamic adaptive techniques (for finance), adaptive decision making and sequential analysis (for survey sampling), and adaptive filtering (for engineering). This extensively class-tested text is ideal for researchers, practitioners, and.
