FROM the preface we infer that the author has set out with the object of providing engineering students with a text-book of small compass in which the elementary parts of statics are treated on a ...

THOUGH no one, I venture to think, will gainsay Mr. W. Larden's main contention that “analytical methods give a grasp of the principles of statics, while graphical methods disguise them,” yet it ...

We consider the problem of locating jumps in regression surfaces. A jump detection algorithm is suggested based on local least squares estimation. This method requires O(Nk) computations, where N is ...

This paper reviews the range of graphical methods available for use with nonparametric procedures, and provides examples of the use of many of the methods under the broad groupings: two-sample ...
