Opis

This text concentrates on what can be achieved using the liklihood/Fisherian methods of taking into account uncertainty when studying a statistical problem. It takes the concept of the liklihood as the best method for unifying the demands of statistical modeling and theory of inference. Every liklihood concept is illustrated with realistic examples ranging from a simple comparison of two accident rates to complex studies that require generalized linear or semiparametric modeling. The emphasis is on liklihood not as just a device used to produce an estimate, but as an important tool for modeling.

Recenzje

To those of us to whom it is a continuing irritation to be told that there are only two kinds of statisticians, freqentist and Bayesian, this book will come as an enormous relief ... a remarkable book, which deserves the widest distribution; I hope it will gain many converts to the likelihood school.
