Optimization Methods and their Application in Statistics

Optimization methods are of great importance in practice, particularly in engineering design, scientific experiments, and business decision making. This book attempts to give a brief introduction to optimization methods and their use in several important areas of statistics. The book deals with variational methods, regression analysis, mathematical programming, and optimum seeking methods, stochastic control, optimum design of experiments, optimum spacings, and order statistics. It is hoped that the book will be of helpful to students on applied statistics courses and to researchers needing to use optimization techniques in a statistical context.
