Elements of Computational Statistics

Meer over het boek

Recent advancements in statistics are closely linked to developments in computing, leading to the emergence of computational statistics. This discipline focuses on computationally intensive methods that require extensive numerical computations and data visualization. Unlike traditional statistical computing, computational statistics emphasizes the use of computers as tools for exploration and experimentation, allowing researchers to simulate various scenarios. This approach parallels methodologies in other computational sciences, where the computer serves as a new means of generating observations from assumed models to evaluate and study them.
