Recent developments in applied probability and statistics: dedicated to the memory of Jürgen Lehn

This book presents surveys on recent developments in applied probability and statistics. The contributions include topics such as nonparametric regression and density estimation, option pricing, probabilistic methods for multivariateinterpolation, robust graphical modelling and stochastic differential equations. Due to its broad coverage of different topics the book offers an excellentoverview of recent developments in applied probability and statistics.
