Osteopathy: Models for Diagnosis, Treatment and Practice
This book is a textbook of basic osteopathic concepts, working from first principles underpinned by anatomy and physiology. This text will synthesize and integrate osteopathic models in an easy-to-understand way, a subject often daunting to students and confusing to graduates. Composed of four sections, the first is a discussion of basic principles, the second focusses on models and diagnosis of treatment which is followed by anatomical, neurophysiological and osteopathic considerations. The last section describes clinical case-studies to enable students to put into practice the theories and models which they have learned.
Market Risk Analysis: Volume IV: Value at Risk Models (Volume 4)
Written by leading market risk academic, Professor Carol Alexander, Value-at-Risk Models forms part four of the Market Risk Analysis four volume set. Building on the three previous volumes this book provides by far the most comprehensive, rigorous and detailed treatment of market VaR models. It rests on the basic knowledge of financial mathematics and statistics gained from Volume I, of factor models, principal component analysis, statistical models of volatility and correlation and copulas from Volume II and, from Volume III, knowledge of pricing and hedging financial instruments and of mapping portfolios of similar instruments to risk factors.
The Power of Impossible Thinking - Transform the Business of Your Life and the Life of Your Business
The world you live in is all in your mind, according to Wharton Business School Professors Yoram Wind and Colin Crook. The Power of Impossible Thinking is a witty and lucid translation of neuroscience research about "mental models"--the deeply ingrained assumptions and images that shape our reality and influence opportunities for success and failure. "Our models are gated communities," say Crook and Wind, who offer a superb crash course on the power and limit of mental models.
Beginning with ordinary language models or realistic mathematical models of physical or biological phenomena, the author derives tractable mathematical models that are amenable to further mathematical analysis or to elucidating computer simulations. For the most part, derivations are based on perturbation methods. Because of this, the majority of the text is devoted to careful derivations of implicit function theorems, methods of averaging, and quasi-static state approximation methods. The duality between stability and perturbation is developed and used, relying heavily on the concept of stability under persistent disturbances.
Topics in Dynamic Model Analysis, Advanced Matrix Methods and Unit-Root Econometrics Representation Theorems (Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathemati
This monograph provides an insightful analysis of dynamic modelling in econometrics by bridging the unit-root gap between structural and time series approaches and focusing on representation theorems of (co)integrated processes. The book starts by providing a self-contained - rigorous as well as innovative - analytical setting to guide the formulation and solution in closed form of vector autoregressive models with unit roots.
