Book Description | Philosophy involves a criticism of scientific knowledge, not from a point of view ultimately different from that of science, but from a point of view less concerned with details and more concerned with the h- mony of the body of special sciences. Here as elsewhere, while the older logic shut out possibilities and imprisoned imagination within the walls of the familiar, the newer logic shows rather what may happen, and refuses to decide as to what must happen. Bertrand Russell At any particular stage in the development of humanity knowledge comes up against limits set by the necessarily limited character of the experience available and the existing means of obtaining knowledge. But humanity advances by overcoming such limits. New experience throws down the limits of old experience; new techniques, new means of obtaining knowledge throw down the limits of old techniques and old means of obtaining knowledge. New limits then once again appear. But there is no more reason to suppose these new limits absolute and final than there was to suppose the old ones absolute and final. |
Editorial Review | Researchers and postgraduate students in time series econometrics, statistics, matrix mathematics and other related areas. ... provide an insightful analysis of dynamic modelling in econometrics by a self-contained and analytic setting to guide formulation and solution in closed form of vector autoregressive models with unit roots. ... The presentation of the book is given in theorem-proof style with definitions, lemmas, theorems ... . The book is very welcome, as it (again) proves that matrix results ... are applicable and useful in dealing with real-world issues.
