To ensure that the verification process can be regarded as efficient, effective and impartial, it is important to have a mathematical model of it. One can be derived by applying methods from statistics and the theory of non-cooperative games, developed in part by John Nash, who received a Nobel prize in 1994 for his work. The methods permit the development of rational verification strategies, as well as such fundamental concepts as guaranteed probability of detection, timeliness of inspections and the deterrence of illegal activity. In this 1996 book, the required theory is introduced gradually in the context of specific real-world examples. The only prerequisites are simple calculus and statistics, so the book should be accessible to a broad range of scientists and non-scientists, in industrial, academic or governmental environments. date: 1996 date_type: published publisher: Cambridge University Press iiasapubid: XB-96-907 iiasa_bibref: Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, UK [1996] creators_browse_id: 1699 full_text_status: none place_of_pub: Cambridge refereed: TRUE isbn: 0521553660 related_url_url: http://www.cambridge.org/catalogue/catalogue.asp?isbn=0521553660 related_url_type: pub coversheets_dirty: FALSE fp7_type: info:eu-repo/semantics/book citation: Avenhaus, R. & Canty, M.
