Statistical Theory & Methods

This text presents an overview of the full range of logistic models, including binary, proportional, ordered, and categorical response regression procedures. It illustrates how to apply the models to medical, health, environmental/ecological, physical, and social science data. Stata is used to devel..

Longitudinal Data with Serial Correlation..

Incorporating changes in theory and highlighting new applications, this book presents a concise, accessible, and comprehensive introduction to the methods of this valuable simulation technique. This second edition includes many new examples in the chapters on Gibbs sampling and Metropolis-Hastings a..

Traditional texts in mathematical statistics can seem heavily weighted with optimality theory of the various flavors developed in the 1940s and50s, and not particularly relevant to statistical practice. Mathematical Statistics stands apart. While mathematically rigorous, its focus is on providing a ..

Written by leading authorities in nonlinear regression modeling, Measurement Error in Nonlinear Models: A Modern Perspective, Second Edition provides an up-to-date overview of analysis strategies for regression models in which variables are measured with errors. Thoroughly revised, this second editi..

This volume covers the main areas of quantitative methodology for the design and analysis of CER studies. The volume has four major sections—causal inference; clinical trials; research synthesis; and specialized topics. The audience includes CER methodologists, quantitative-trained researchers inter..

Presenting effective approaches to address missing data, measurement errors, censoring, and outliers in longitudinal data, this book covers linear, nonlinear, generalized linear, nonparametric, and semiparametric mixed effects models. It links each mixed effects model with the corresponding class of..

This work addresses classification using mixture models broadly. Unlike traditional treatments of the subject that heavily focus on unsupervised approaches, this book gives attention to unsupervised, semi-supervised, and supervised classification paradigms. Case studies illustrate both non-Gaussian ..

A practical guide to statistical methods which reflects developments in the field. It includes a chapter introducing mixed models for binary data analysis and another on methods for modelling binary data. It also includes material on modelling ordered categorical data and provides a summary of the l..

This book provides a detailed account on some of the newest methods for dealing with directional data. Directional data naturally arises in diverse domains such as earth sciences (in particular geology), meteorology, astronomy, studies of animal behavior, image analysis, neurosciences, medicine, mac..
