In time series modeling, the behavior of a certain phenomenon is expressed in relation to the past values of itself and other covariates. Since many important phenomena in statistical analysis are actually time series and the identification of conditional distribution of the phenomenon is an essential part of the statistical modeling, it is very important and useful to learn fundamental methods of time series modeling. Illustrating how to build models for time series using basic methods, Introduction to Time Series Modeling covers numerous time series models and the various tools for handling them.
The book employs the state-space model as a generic tool for time series modeling and presents convenient recursive filtering and smoothing methods, including the Kalman filter, the non-Gaussian filter, and the sequential Monte Carlo filter, for the state-space models. Taking a unified approach to model evaluation based on the entropy maximization principle advocated by Dr. Akaike, the author derives various methods of parameter estimation, such as the least squares method, the maximum likelihood method, recursive estimation for state-space models, and model selection by the Akaike information criterion (AIC). Along with simulation methods, he also covers standard stationary time series models, such as AR and ARMA models, as well as nonstationary time series models, including the locally stationary AR model, the trend model, the seasonal adjustment model, and the time-varying coefficient AR model.
With a focus on the description, modeling, prediction, and signal extraction of times series, this book provides basic tools for analyzing time series that arise in real-world problems. It encourages readers to build models for their own real-life problems.

Excel Data Analysis: Modeling and Simulation
Author(s): Hector Guerrero
Publisher: Springer
Date : 2010
Pages : 338
Format : PDF
Language : English
ISBN : 3642108342
This book is written for the students and practitioners who are looking for a single introductory Excel-based resource that covers three essential business and analytical skills—Data Analysis, Business Modeling, and Simulation of Complex Problems. The focus of the book is clearly on analysis of problems for decision making, yet detailed explanations regarding how to use Excel tools are provided. After many years of teaching and consulting, it is abundantly clear to me that for most students, a good example is worth its weight in gold. This book contains many excellent examples in each chapter, some simple and others more complex, and there is an abundance of exhibits to guide the student through the maze of steps necessary for each analysis.
The content is quite diverse: data presentation — the Feng Shui of spreadsheets, effective communication and collaboration, data preparation — import, scrub, manipulate data, data analysis — statistical methods: descriptive, inferential, and predictive, Design of Experiments, modeling — deterministic, probabilistic, What-if, Scenarios, simulation — quantifying uncertainty, Monte Carlo Simulation, optimization — constrained, Linear Programming, non-linear models, Goal Seek.
Couple these features with detailed discussions of how to realistically organize and extract insight from complex problems, and I believe you have a unique educational combination in one book.

I'm looking for "K. Tokimatsu (1995) : Geotechnical Site Characterization Using Surface Waves, Proc., First Int. Conf. on Earthquake Geotechnical Engrg., 3, , 1333-1368."
Does anyone have it?
Looking for UK National Annex to Eurocode 1: Actions on structures. At that stage I have only the following UK Annexes:
Part 1-1: General actions - Densities, self-weight, imposed loads for buildings
Part 1-3: General actions - Snow loads
Part 1-5: General actions - Thermal actions
Part 2: Traffic loads on bridges
Badly needed:

And other remaining...
Product Description
This book addresses the seismic design and retrofit of bridges. It provides detailed information on the seismic considerations in the design of a wide range of substructures including beam and slab, box girder, arch, cable, stayed, and suspension bridges. Topics include damage and design philosophy, geotechnical considerations, design, modeling and analysis, seismic assessment and retrofit of existing bridges.
From the Publisher
For this lavishly illustrated book, the world's leading authorities have collaborated to produce the most extensive reference available devoted solely to this topic. Using an applications-oriented approach, the authors examine the seismic response of bridges in detail and provide design strategies that make the structure as insensitive as possible to the unknown characteristics of the input seismic excitation. Includes the latest research on bridge substructures.

Product Description
Dynamic Soil-structure interaction is one of the major topics in earthquake engineering and soil dynamics since it is closely related to the safety evaluation of many important engineering projects, such as nuclear power plants, to resist earthquakes. In dealing with the analysis of dynamic soil-structure interactions, one of the most difficult tasks is the modeling of unbounded media. To solve this problem, many numerical methods and techniques have been developed.
This book summarizes the most recent developments and applications in the field of dynamic soil-structure interaction, both in China and Switzerland.

Review
This book...shows how some very simple calculations can produce answers almost identical to those generated from full 3D finite element analyses. this book shows that engineers don't always need a lot of computer power to perform seismic analyses and the techniques described should be useful for any designers who need quick anwsers to what may appear to be very difficult analysis problems - The Structural Engineer.
The advent of computerised structural analysis and, in particular, of finite element programs has opened up vast possibilities for a fundamental reappraisal of existing approximate methods, including a more accurate definition of their scope and limits. A number of new methods are proposed. Many numerical examples and comparisons with accurate methods are given - Concrete International
'...will be very useful for designers...a very good addition to the libraries of consulting engineers, engineering organisations, and academic institutions. ...useful book with excellent printing, illustrations, and binding.' - Journal of Structural Engineering
Product Description
This book examines the recent developments in computerized structural analysis and finite element analysis to re-appraise existing approximate techniques and to define their scope and limits more accurately. The book proposes new techniques and provides many numerical examples and comparisons with 'accurate' methods.
