Reviews
Review of the hardback: 'Writing a monograph intended for engineers on advanced applications of stochastic modelling is a difficult challenge: the subject is extremely mathematical and one runs the risk of either writing for a very small target audience of experts or one has to include entire chapters of background material. Professor Wei-Chau Xie has managed to strike a difficult balance between these two extremes.' Journal of Sound and Vibration
