A collection of 16 research and expository papers from a July 1995 workshop in Montreal that explore the interface of nonlinear dynamics in the physiological and biological sciences with statistics. They cover embeddings, dimension, system reconstruction, surrogate data methodology, local Lyapunov exponents, long-range dependence, data analysis, and applications. The treatment is suitable for either scientists or statisticians and assumes specialization in no particular field. No index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
