Statistical Methods in Counterterrorism Summary

Statistical Methods in Counterterrorism: Game Theory, Modeling, Syndromic Surveillance, and Biometric Authentication by Alyson Wilson

With the realization that many clues and hints preceded the September 11 terrorist attacks, statisticians became an important part of the global war on terror. This book surveys emerging research at the intersection of national security and statistical sciences. In it, a diverse group of talented researchers address such topics as Syndromic Surveillance; Modeling and Simulation; Biometric Authentication; and Game Theory. The book includes general reviews of quantitative approaches to counterterrorism, for decision makers with policy backgrounds, as well as technical treatments of statistical issues that will appeal to quantitative researchers.

Statistical Methods in Counterterrorism Reviews

Counterterrorism is an important research area for national security and defense, and an area where statisticians can provide insights and tools to improve the standard practice. As funding and governmental interest in these areas continues to grow, this book will provide a stepping stone for those interested in this emerging area of statistics. Christine Anderson-Cook, JASA, Vol. 102, No. 478, June 2007
