Beyond First Order Model Theory Volume I and II

Beyond First Order Model Theory Volume I and II

Model theory is the meta-mathematical study of the concept of mathematical truth. After Afred Tarski coined the term Theory of Models in the early 1950’s it rapidly became one of the central most active branches of mathematical logic. In the last few decades ideas that originated within model theory have provided powerful tools to solve problems in a variety of areas of classical mathematics including algebra combinatorics geometry number theory and Banach space theory and operator theory. The two volumes of Beyond First Order Model Theory present the reader with a fairly comprehensive vista rich in width and depth of some of the most active areas of contemporary research in model theory beyond the realm of the classical first-order viewpoint. Each chapter is intended to serve both as an introduction to a current direction in model theory and as a presentation of results that are not available elsewhere. All the articles are written so that they can be studied independently of one another. The first volume is an introduction to current trends in model theory and contains a collection of articles authored by top researchers in the field. It is intended as a reference for students as well as senior researchers. This second volume contains introductions to real-valued logic and applications abstract elementary classes and applications interconnections between model theory and function spaces nonstucture theory and model theory of second-order logic. Features A coherent introduction to current trends in model theory. Contains articles by some of the most influential logicians of the last hundred years. No other publication brings these distinguished authors together. Suitable as a reference for advanced undergraduate postgraduates and researchers. Material presented in the book (e. g abstract elementary classes first-order logics with dependent sorts and applications of infinitary logics in set theory) is not easily accessible in the current literature. The various chapters in the book can be studied independently. | Beyond First Order Model Theory Volume I and II

The BUGS Book A Practical Introduction to Bayesian Analysis

The BUGS Book A Practical Introduction to Bayesian Analysis

Bayesian statistical methods have become widely used for data analysis and modelling in recent years and the BUGS software has become the most popular software for Bayesian analysis worldwide. Authored by the team that originally developed this software The BUGS Book provides a practical introduction to this program and its use. The text presents complete coverage of all the functionalities of BUGS including prediction missing data model criticism and prior sensitivity. It also features a large number of worked examples and a wide range of applications from various disciplines. The book introduces regression models techniques for criticism and comparison and a wide range of modelling issues before going into the vital area of hierarchical models one of the most common applications of Bayesian methods. It deals with essentials of modelling without getting bogged down in complexity. The book emphasises model criticism model comparison sensitivity analysis to alternative priors and thoughtful choice of prior distributions all those aspects of the art of modelling that are easily overlooked in more theoretical expositions. More pragmatic than ideological the authors systematically work through the large range of tricks that reveal the real power of the BUGS software for example dealing with missing data censoring grouped data prediction ranking parameter constraints and so on. Many of the examples are biostatistical but they do not require domain knowledge and are generalisable to a wide range of other application areas. Full code and data for examples exercises and some solutions can be found on the book‘s website. | The BUGS Book A Practical Introduction to Bayesian Analysis
