Parameter Estimation and Hypothesis Testing in Linear Models - Softcover

Reseña del editor

This textbook on theoretical geodesy deals with the estimation of unknown parameters, the testing of hypothesis and the estimation of intervals in linear models. The reader will find presentations of the Gauss-Markoff model, the analysis of variance, the multivariate model, the model with unknown variance and covariance components and the regression model, as well as the mixed model for estimation random parameters. To make the book self-contained most of the necessary theorems of vector and matrix-algebra and the probability distributions for the test statistics are derived. Students of geodesy, as well as of mathematics and engineering, will find the geodetical application of mathematical and statistical models extremely useful.
