Use this book as a good reference on building spreadsheet, be it for business modeling or just plain use of Excel. ...

Modelling the US Army M4 (76mm) Sherman Medium Tank (Osprey Modelling)

5 reviews
Steven Zaloga

Osprey Publishing, 2007

For advanced Modelers
This book is really geared for advanced modelers. It does have some nice color photos including some beautiful models by the author. But the modeling tips are really more advanced and are a bit beyond my current abilities. Maybe someday I'll be able to put this to better use.

Molecular Modelling: Principles and Applications (2nd Edition)

8 reviews
Andrew Leach

Prentice Hall, 2001

Review by a molecular tyro
I'd like to recommend this book from the perspective of someone who is new to the field. I have only an informal background in chemistry and biology and an undergraduate physics degree that's 20 years old. Mr. Leach works through a broad range of material, from numeric solutions to the quantum equations for a molecule to algorithms for searching through the conformational space. His descriptions ...

3 reviews
Jörg T. Dickersbach

Good Overview of APO
Very useful information on APO. I have been an APO consultant for several years, and its a good source of information. Lots of information that is not readily available or known without searching for it. Recommended.

Causality and Causal Modelling in the Social Sciences: Measuring Variations (Methodos Series)
Federica Russo

Springer, 2008

The anti-causal prophecies of last century have been disproved. Causality is neither a ?relic of a bygone? nor ?another fetish of modern science?; it still occupies a large part of the current debate in philosophy and the sciences. This investigation into causal modelling presents the rationale of causality, i.e. the notion that guides causal reasoning in causal modelling. It is argued that causal models are regimented by a rationale of ...

Newnes, 2007

Power Systems Modelling and Fault Analysis (Nasser Tleis)
Dr. Tleis adopts a refreshing approach in this much-needed reference book. The subject matter is very clearly and logically presented, and the treatment is laudably comprehensive, with no stone left unturned in his analysis. A large number of helpful explanatory diagrams are also included within the text and many practical solved examples, and a full list of references and suggestions for further ...

Introduction to Structural Equation Modelling Using SPSS and AMOS

1 review
Niels Blunch

Sage Publications Ltd, 2008

Quality suffers in this book
The quality of this book is low. It has many errors making it hard to follow. I purchased the book based on the fact that the author was making the files associated with the analysis in the book available. Well the data files do not match what is in the book. Second, there is very little help in showing how to use SPSS or AMOS properly. Your better choice are the texts from Barbara Byrne.

Financial Modelling with Jump Processes (Chapman & Hall/Crc Financial Mathematics Series)

4 reviews
Rama Cont, Peter Tankov

Chapman & Hall/CRC, 2003

A wonderful book on Levy process
The authors not only understand the math, but also integrate the math with financial economics well. I think Levy process is the way to go in the next decade. For example, fundamentally speaking, Brownian motion cannot explain the equity premium puzzle, hence people resort to other factors, such as incomplete market, behaviors, prospect theory, etc. However, behavioral explanations cannot stand ...

Decision Modelling for Health Economic Evaluation (Handbooks for Health Economic Evaluation)

1 review
Andrew Briggs, Karl Claxton, ...

Oxford University Press, USA, 2006

Poorly written and confusing
I've read this book from cover to cover, and was not able to get much from it. It is a very puzzling text. Someone who is not already familiar with the basics of economic evaluation would probably not understand the book. That's because quite a bit of background seems to be assumed, and little basic explanation is given. Others -- like me -- who do know the basics are likely to be ...

Modelling and Sculpture: A Guide to Traditional Methods

2 reviews
Albert Toft

Dover Publications, 2004

a student of Lanteri
This guy was a student of Edouard Lanteri & i reckon Lanteri's book is better. This fellow waffles on a fair bit but his techniques are good & you can learn a lot from it regarding making traditional sculpture. The info is slightly different from lanteri's book so you get a slightly different viewpoint on the same techniques & the pictures are good. Its a good basic book of how to. However i'd ...

In All Likelihood: Statistical Modelling and Inference Using Likelihood

3 reviews
Yudi Pawitan

Oxford University Press, USA, 2001

Statistical Modelling and Inference for this Century
I used "In All Likelihood" as a basis for the 13 week 3rd year Mathematical Statistics/ Statistical Inference course I have almost finished teaching. Finding this book at Amazon was my very good fortune. It is exactly the way I would have tried to write such a course but I couldn't have done as good a job as Pawitan. I like this book because it covers all the theory, such as, sufficiency, ...
