This book presents the basic concepts of functional analysis, wavelet analysis and thresholding. It begins with an elementary chapter on preliminaries such as basic concepts of functional analysis, a brief tour of the wavelet transform, Haar scaling functions and function space, wavelets, symlets wavelets and coiflets wavelets. In turn, Chapters 2 and 3 address the construction of wavelet packets, selected results on wavelet packets, band-limited wavelet packets, characterisations of wavelet packets, multiresolution analysis (MRA) wavelet packets, pointwise convergence, the convergence of wavelet packet series and convolution bounds. Chapter 4 discusses characterisations of function spaces like Lebesgue spaces, Hardy spaces and Sobolev spaces in terms of wavelet packets, while Chapter 5 is devoted to applications of wavelets and wavelet packets in speech denoising and biomedical signals. In closing, Chapter 6 highlights applications of wavelets and wavelet packets in image denoising.

This book offers a comprehensive guide to essential techniques and methods in biostatistics, addressing the underlying concepts to aid in comprehension. The use of biostatistics techniques has increased manifold in the recent past, due to their suitability for applications in a wide range of problems in various fields. This book helps learners grasp the materials in detail, equipping them to use biostatistics techniques independently and confidently. The book starts with a summary of background materials, followed by methods and techniques. As such, with only minimum guidance from teachers, this book can provide materials for self-learning of biostatistics techniques with a deeper level of understanding. The first two chapters focus on fundamental concepts, sources of data, data types, organization of data, and descriptive statistics, followed by the basic probability concepts, distributions and sampling distributions needed in order to combine descriptive statistics with inferential techniques. Estimation and tests of hypotheses are illustrated in two separate chapters. Important measures of association, linear regression, analysis of variance and logistic regression, and proportional hazards models are then presented systematically, ensuring that the book covers the topics most essential to students and users of biostatistics in connection with a wide range of applications in various fields. The book has been carefully structured, and the content is presented in a sequence covering the essential background in a highly systematic manner, supporting the learning process by presenting theory and applications that complement one another.

This book presents the views of leading scholars, academics, and educators on the renewal of Islamic schools in the Western context. The book argues that as Islamic schools in Western contexts have negotiated the establishment phase they must next embrace a period of renewal. Renewal relates to a purposeful synthesis of the tradition with contemporary educational practice and greater emphasis on empirical research substantiating best practices in Islamic schools. This renewal must reflect teaching and learning practices consistent with an Islamic worldview and pedagogy. It should also inform, among other aspects, classroom management models, and relevant and contextual Islamic and Arabic studies. This book acquaints the reader with contemporary challenges and opportunities in Islamic schools in the Western context with a focus on Australia.
