Overview

Drawn from the 25th Conference on Statistical Computing held at Schloss Reisenburg, this collection of 30 invited papers covers the important parts of the rapidly developing area of computational statistics. The contributions supply information about specialized topics in a tutorial and comprehensive style. The newest results and developments are discussed. Starting with the foundations of computational statistics - for example, numerical reliability of software packages or construction principles for pseudorandom number generators - the book includes design considerations on statistical programming languages and the basic issues of resampling techniques. Also covered are areas such as design of experiments, graphical techniques, modelling and testing problems, a review of clustering algorithms, and discussions of regression trees or cognitive aspects of authoring systems.
