Résumé :
|
Access to powerful computation enables the use of statistics in new and varied ways. Idealized models and assumtions can now be replaced with more realistic modelling or by virtually model-free analyses. Much statistical work and data analysis is undertaken today by computers in ways which are too complicated for practical analytical treatment. The new effects of these computational advances are probably best reflected in the recent enormous success of bootstrap methodology, which shows that many problems, previously difficult to solve, can be conquered. In enginnering work, and other practical situations, we often need methods outlined of a "non-stop" character. The computer-intensive methods outlined in this book can show how to pass many obstacles that could not previously be overcome.
