Modeling Discrete Time-to-Event Data (Springer Series in Statistics)
by Gerhard Tutz and Matthias Schmid
This book focuses on statistical methods for the analysis of discrete failure times. Failure time analysis is one of the most important fields in statistical research, with applications affecting a wide range of disciplines, in particular, demography, econometrics, epidemiology and clinical research. Although there are a large variety of statistical methods for failure time analysis, many techniques are designed for failure times that are measured on a continuous scale. In empirical studies, how...

Survey sampling is fundamentally an applied field. The goal in this book is to put an array of tools at the fingertips of practitioners by explaining approaches long used by survey statisticians, illustrating how existing software can be used to solve survey problems, and developing some specialized software where needed. This book serves at least three audiences: (1) Students seeking a more in-depth understanding of applied sampling either through a second semester-long course or by way of a su...

Modeling Survival Data Using Frailty Models (Industrial and Applied Mathematics)
by David D. Hanagal
When designing and analyzing a medical study, researchers focusing on survival data must take into account the heterogeneity of the study population: due to uncontrollable variation, some members change states more rapidly than others. Survival data measures the time to a certain event or change of state. For example, the event may be death, occurr
Data Analysis and Information Systems (Studies in Classification, Data Analysis, and Knowledge Organization)
This volume presents 45 articles dealing with theoretical aspects, methodo logical advances and practical applications in domains relating to classifica tion and clustering, statistical and computational data analysis, conceptual or terminological approaches for information systems, and knowledge struc tures for databases. These articles were selected from about 140 papers presented at the 19th Annual Conference of the Gesellschaft fur Klassifika tion, the German Classification Society. The...
Stochastic Methods in Biology (Lecture Notes in Biomathematics, #70)
The use of probabilistic methods in the biological sciences has been so well established by now that mathematical biology is regarded by many as a distinct dis cipline with its own repertoire of techniques. The purpose of the Workshop on sto chastic methods in biology held at Nagoya University during the week of July 8-12, 1985, was to enable biologists and probabilists from Japan and the U. S. to discuss the latest developments in their respective fields and to exchange ideas on the ap plica...
Bernard Rosner's FUNDAMENTALS OF BIOSTATISTICS is a practical introduction to the methods, techniques, and computation of statistics with human subjects. It prepares students for their future courses and careers by introducing the statistical methods most often used in medical literature. Rosner minimizes the amount of mathematical formulation (algebra-based) while still giving complete explanations of all the important concepts. As in previous editions, a major strength of this book is that eve...
Analysis of Variance for Random Models
by Hardeo Sahai and Mario M. Ojeda
ANOVA models involving random effects have found widespread application to experimental design in varied fields such as biology, econometrics, and engineering. Volume I of this two-part work is a comprehensive presentation of methods and techniques for point estimation, interval estimation, and hypotheses tests for linear models involving random effects. Volume I examines models with balanced data (orthogonal models); Volume II studies models with unbalanced data (non-orthogonal models). Accessi...

The Galton-Watson branching process has its roots in the problem of extinction of family names which was given a precise formulation by F. Galton as problem 4001 in the Educational Times (17, 1873). In 1875, an attempt to solve this problem was made by H. W. Watson but as it turned out, his conclusion was incorrect. Half a century later, R. A. Fisher made use of the Galton-Watson process to determine the extinction probability of the progeny of a mutant gene. However, it was J. B. S. Haldane who...
Interdisciplinary Approaches to Nonlinear Complex Systems (Springer Series in Synergetics, #62)
Nonlinear dynamics is now recognized as playing a crucial role in a wide variety of disciplines.

Understanding Biostatistics (Statistics in Practice, #101)
by Anders Kallen and Anders N
Understanding Biostatistics looks at the fundamentals of biostatistics, using elementary statistics to explore the nature of statistical tests. This book is intended to complement first-year statistics and biostatistics textbooks. The main focus here is on ideas, rather than on methodological details. Basic concepts are illustrated with representations from history, followed by technical discussions on what different statistical methods really mean. Graphics are used extensively throughout the b...
