Multivariate Statistical Modelling Based on Generalized Linear Models (Springer Series in Statistics)

Description

"The authors give a detailed introductory survey of the subject based on the analysis of real data drawn from a variety of subjects, including the biological sciences, economics, and the social sciences. Technical details and proofs are deferred to an appendix in order to provide an accessible account for nonexperts. The appendix serves as a reference or brief tutorial for the concepts of the EM algorithm, numerical integration, MCMC, and others.". "In the new edition, Bayesian concepts, which are of growing importance in statistics, are treated more extensively. The chapter on nonparametric and semiparametric generalized regression has been rewritten totally, random effects models now cover nonparametric maximum likelihood and fully Bayesian approaches, and state-space and hidden Markov models have been supplemented with an extension to models that can accommodate for spatial and spatiotemporal data.". "The authors have taken great pains to discuss the underlying theoretical ideas in ways that relate well to the data at hand. As a result, this book is ideally suited for applied statisticians, graduate students of statistics, and students and researchers with a strong interest in statistics and data analysis from econometrics, biometrics, and the social sciences."--BOOK JACKET.
