In this paper we will elaborate and give support to Manski’s central message in“Statistical decision theory should supplant hypothesis tesing” (Manksi [15]; see also Manski [16]). Decisions should take the place of testing. This review should benefit practioners in empirical research of econometrics and in statistics in general. We emphasize that Wald’s Statistical Decision Theory should be used in empirical research instead of “traditional” hypothesis testing (both frequentist and Bayesian testing), since hypothesis testing is only a one-sized-fits-all way to make decisions...

In recent years there has been an exponential growth in the number of publications related to theory and applications of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Charnes, Cooper, and Rhodes (1978) introduced DEA as a tool for measuring efficiency and productivity of decision making units. DEA has immediately been recognized as a modern tool for performance measurement.

In Business Statistics, we try to narrow the gap between theory and practice by presentingstatistical methods so they are both relevant and interesting.The data that inform a business decision have a story to tell, and the role ofStatistics is to help us hear that story clearly and communicate it to others.

The objective of this book is to introduce recent advances and state-of-the-art applications of Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) in various fields. MCS is a class of statistical methods for performance analysis and decision making based on taking random samples from underly‐ ing systems or problems to draw inferences or estimations. Let us make an analogy by using the structure of an umbrella to define and exemplify the position of this book within the fields of science and engineering. Imagine that one can place MCS at the centerpoint of an umbrella and define the...

The decisions to keep fairly complete accounts of the theory and of its application to one country dictated omitting virtually all the statis- tical analysis (Chapters VII-XIII and a long section of Chapter XIV of the original edition). One of the reviews that appeared not long after the 1939 edition was published criticized it for not having a service- able statistical technique. The criticism was just, and omitting the sta- tistical chapters may be deemed no great loss.

Decision theory in economics, psychology, philosophy, mathematics, and statistics is concerned with identifying the values, uncertainties and other issues relevant in a given decision, its rationality, and the resulting optimal decision. It is closely related to the field of game theory as to interactions of agents with at least partially conflicting interests whose decisions affect each other.

Forty years ago there was hardly a field called ‘behavioral sciences’. In fact, psychology largely was the behavioral sciences, with some help from group theory in sociology and decision- making in economics. Now, of course, psychology has expanded and developed in a myriad of ways, to the point where ‘behavioral sciences’ is often the more useful term. Physiological psychology has become neuroscience, covering areas not previously part of psychology. Decision-making has become decision science, involving people from economics, marketing, and other disciplines.

Regular rings were originally introduced by John von Neumann to clarify aspects of operator algebras ([33], [34], [9]). A continuous geometry is an indecomposable, continuous, complemented modular lattice that is not finite-dimensional ([8, page 155], [32, page V]). Von Neumann proved ([32, Theorem 14.1, page 208], [8, page 162]): Every continuous geometry is isomorphic to the lattice of right ideals of some regular ring. The book of K.R.

This book is designed to give you the essential, nitty-gritty information typically covered in a first semester statistics course. It’s bottom-line information for you to use as a refresher, a resource, a quick reference, and/or a study guide. It helps you decipher and make important decisions about statistical polls, experiments, reports and headlines with confidence, being ever aware of the ways people can mislead you with statistics, and how to handle it.

Muirhead (1987) reviews the large literature on shrinkage estimators of the covariance matrix in finite-sample statistical decision theory. All these estimators suffer from at least two severe drawbacks, either of which is enough to make them ill-suited to stock returns: (i) they break down when N T; (ii) they do not exploit the a priori knowledge that stock returns tend to be positively correlated to one another.

This compendium aims at providing a comprehensive overview of the main topics that appear in any well-structured course sequence in statistics for business and economics at the undergraduate and MBA levels. The idea is to supplement either formal or informal statistic textbooks such as, e.g., “Basic Statistical Ideas for Managers” by D.K. Hildebrand and R.L. Ott and “The Practice of Business Statistics: Using Data for Decisions” by D.S. Moore, G.P. McCabe, W.M. Duckworth and S.L. Sclove, with a summary of theory as well as with a couple of extra examples.

Mathematics is used throughout the world as an essential tool in many fields, including natural science, engineering, medicine, and the social sciences. Applied mathematics, the branch of mathematics concerned with application of mathematical knowledge to other fields, inspires and makes use of new mathematical discoveries, which has led to the development of entirely new mathematical disciplines, such as statistics and game theory. Mathematicians also engage in pure mathematics, or mathematics for its own sake, without having any application in mind.

The urgent need for computer-assisted detection of tumors and lesions in medical images becomes clear when one considers the state of affairs in X-ray film mammography for breast cancer screening. In the United States it is estimated that there are currently more than 50 million women over the age of 40 at risk of contracting breast cancer.
