In seinem inzwischen zum Klassiker gewordenen Band gibt Jürgen Heyde einen Überblick über die mehr als tausendjährige Geschichte Polens. Neben der politischen, gesellschaftlichen und kulturellen Entwicklung des Landes liegt das besondere Augenmerk auf der Darstellung der europäischen Dimensionen der polnischen Geschichte sowie der Entwicklung der deutschpolnischen Nachbarschaft. Für die Neuauflage wurde der Band gründlich durchgesehen und bis ...

Our interest in 1. J. Bienayme was kindled by the discovery of his paper of 1845 on simple branching processes as a model for extinction of family names. In this work he announced the key criticality theorem 28 years before it was rediscovered in incomplete form by Galton and Watson (after whom the process was subsequently and erroneously named). Bienayme was not an obscure figure in his time and he achieved a position of some eminence both as...

The first account in book form of all the essential features of the quasi-likelihood methodology, stressing its value as a general purpose inferential tool. The treatment is rather informal, emphasizing essential principles rather than detailed proofs, and readers are assumed to have a firm grounding in probability and statistics at the graduate level. Many examples of the use of the methods in both classical statistical and stochastic process...

The Athens Conference on Applied Probability and Time Series in 1995 brought together researchers from across the world. The published papers appear in two volumes. Volume I includes papers on applied probability in Honor of J.M. Gani. The topics include probability and probabilistic methods in recursive algorithms and stochastic models, Markov and other stochastic models such as Markov chains, branching processes and semi-Markov systems, biom...

150 Years of Branching Processes It is now 150 years since statistical work done in Paris on extinction of noble and bourgeois family lines by de Chateauneuf stimulated Bienayme to formulate what is now usually known as the Galton-Watson branching process model and to discover themathe­ matical result known as the criticality theorem. However, Bienayme's work lay fallow and the criticality theorem did not emerge again for nearly 30 years, bein...

Excerpt from On the Physiology of Digestion, Respiration and Excretion in Echinoderms The work presented in this paper has been done partly at the Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole. Mass., partly at the Bermuda Biological Station for Research (Contribution from this station No. 140). I wish to express my great indebtedness to the directors of these institutions, Dr. Frank R. Lillie and Dr. E. L. Mark, for giving me the opportunity to c...

Senior probabilists from around the world with widely differing specialities gave their visions of the state of their specialty, why they think it is important, and how they think it will develop in the new millenium. The volume includes papers given at a symposium at Columbia University in 1995, but papers from others not at the meeting were added to broaden the coverage of areas. All papers were refereed.
