Methods in behavioral research, 10th ed by Reference & Research Book News Some reporting their own research and others surveying the literature, they cover record statistics, characterizing distributions through bivariate regression on differences of records, regenerative branching processes, conditional limit theorems for a continuous time and state branching process, large families and exceedances in branching processes, offspring extremes in branching processes, and statistical inferences for branching processes.
