The first part of this title contained all statistical tests that are relevant for starters on SPSS, and included standard parametric and non-parametric tests for continuous and binary variables, regression methods, trend tests, and reliability and validity assessments of diagnostic tests.
This book discusses important applications of the Behrens-Fisher statistic and the False Discovery Rate (FDR). Covered applications include ANOVA and MANOVA under potentially non-normal errors and heteroscedasticity; and an intuitive method of analyzing s x r contingency tables when the column variable is ordinal. This book also explores the novel possibility that these applications may be deemed nonparametric.
This concise volume covers nonparametric statistics topics that most are most likely to be seen and used from a practical decision support perspective.
This book seeks new perspectives on the growing inequalities that our societies face, putting forward Structured Additive Distributional Regression as a means of statistical analysis that circumvents the common problem of analytical reduction to simple point estimators.
This book serves as a hands-on guide to the "acs" R package for demographers, planners, and other researchers who work with American Community Survey (ACS) data.
This book serves as a practical guide to methods and statistics in medical research. Brief Guidelines for Methods and Statistics in Medical Research offers a valuable quick reference guide for healthcare students and practitioners conducting research in health related fields, written in an accessible style.
Among the symmetrical distributions with an infinite domain, the most popular alternative to the normal variant is the logistic distribution as well as the Laplace or the double exponential distribution, which was first introduced in 1774.
This book presents a concise introduction to Bartlett and Bartlett-type corrections of statistical tests and bias correction of point estimators.
This monograph serves as an introductory text to classical renewal theory and some of its applications for graduate students and researchers in mathematics and probability theory. In this book, an overview of univariate renewal theory is given and renewal processes in the non-lattice and lattice case are discussed.
This book tackles the Optimal Non-Linear Experimental Design problem from an applications perspective.
Through real-world datasets, this book shows the reader how to work with material in biostatistics using the open source software R.
The existence of missing observations is a very important aspect to be considered in the application of survey sampling, for example. Traditionally, simple random sampling is used to select samples. RSS models are developed as counterparts of well-known simple random sampling (SRS) models.
This Brief provides a roadmap for the R language and programming environment with signposts to further resources and documentation.
The purpose of this book is to illustrate a new statistical approach to test allelic association and genotype-specific effects in the genetic study of diseases.
Beginning with a brief introduction to linear programming, the book introduces the algebraic representations of conditional independence statements and their applications using linear programming methods.
The first part of this title contained all statistical tests relevant to starting clinical investigations, and included tests for continuous and binary data, power, sample size, multiple testing, variability, confounding, interaction, and reliability.
This book will be of interest to readers active in the fields of survival analysis, genetics, ecology, biology, demography, reliability and quality control. Since Sir David Cox's pioneering work in 1972, the proportional hazards model has become the most important model in survival analysis.
In this book we present new weighted correlation coefficients and new methods of weighted principal component analysis.We also introduce new methods of dimension reduction and clustering for time series data and describe some theoretical results on the weighted correlation coefficients in separate sections.
Bootstrap and other resampling procedures for dependent sequences such as Markov chains, Markov sequences, linear auto-regressive moving average sequences, block based bootstrap for stationary sequences and other block based procedures are also discussed in some detail.
The final chapter concludes with an overview of analysis for probabilistic spatial percolation methods that are relevant in the modeling of graphical networks and connectivity applications in sensor networks, which also incorporate stochastic geometry features.
This book expounds the principle and related applications of nonlinear principal component analysis (PCA), which is useful method to analyze mixed measurement levels data.
This book introduces academic researchers and professionals to the basic concepts and methods for characterizing interdependencies of multiple time series in the frequency domain.
This book presents recent results in finite mixtures of skewed distributions to prepare readers to undertake mixture models using scale mixtures of skew normal distributions (SMSN).
This richly illustrated book presents the objectives of, and the latest techniques for, the identifiability analysis and standard and robust regression analysis of complex dynamical models.
This book is the modern first treatment of experimental designs, providing a comprehensive introduction to the interrelationship between the theory of optimal designs and the theory of cubature formulas in numerical analysis.
This book presents recent non-asymptotic results for approximations in multivariate statistical analysis. It then introduces new areas of research in high-dimensional approximations for bootstrap procedures, Cornish-Fisher expansions, power-divergence statistics and approximations of statistics based on observations with random sample size.
This book focuses on the structural analysis of demand under block rate pricing, a type of nonlinear pricing used mainly in public utility services.
This book introduces readers to statistical methodologies used to analyze doubly truncated data. The first book exclusively dedicated to the topic, it provides likelihood-based methods, Bayesian methods, non-parametric methods, and linear regression methods.
