HeYue - Multivariate Statistics.pmd 1 2/21/2013, 2:12 PM February15,2013 11:7 8705-MultivariateStatistics Tartu_ws-procs9x6 v PREFACE This volume consists of selected papers presented at the IX Tartu Confer- enceonMultivariateStatisticsorganizedjointlywiththeXXInternational Workshop on Matrices and Statistics. The conference was held in Tartu, Estonia from 26 June to 1 July 2011. More than 100 participants from 30 countries presented in four days recent devolopments on various topics of multivariate statistics. The papers cover wide range of problems in modern multivariate statistics including distribution theory and estimation, different models of multivariate analysis, design of experiments, new developments in high- dimensionalstatistics,samplesurveymethods,graphicalmodelsandappli- cations in different areas: medicine, transport, life and social sciences. The Keynote Lecture by Professor N. Balakrishnan was delivered as the Samuel Kotz Memorial Lecture. Thorough treatment of multivariate exponential dispersion models is given by Professor B. Jørgensen. A new generalapproachtosamplingplansissuggestedbyProfessorY.K.Belyaev. Professor E. Ahmed compares different strategies of estimating regression parameters. C. M. Cuadras introduces a generalization of Farley-Gumbel- Morgenstern distributions. As Editor I am thankful to the authors who have presented interest- ing and valuable results for publishing in the current issue. The book will be useful for researchers and graduate students who work in multivariate statistics. The same time numerous applications can give useful ideas to scientists in different areas of research. My special thanks go to the anony- mous Referees who have done great job and spent lot of time with reading the papers. Due to their comments and suggestions the presentation of the material has been improved and the quality of the papers has risen. I am extremelythankfultothetechnicalsecretaryofthevolumeDr.AntsKaasik whohasefficientlyorganisedcorrespondencewiththeauthorsandReferees.
