Prakasa Rao B.L.S. Identifiability in Stochastic Models. Characterization of Probability Distributions

New York: Academic Press, 1992. — 256 p.The problem of identifiability is basic to all statistical methods and data analysis, occurring in such diverse areas as Reliability Theory, Survival Analysis, and Econometrics, where stochastic modeling is widely used. Mathematics dealing with identifiability per se is closely related to the so-called branch of "characterization problems" in Probability Theory. This book brings together relevant material on identifiability as it occurs in these diverse fields.Copyright
