This book explores the ways in which statistical models, methods, and research designs can be used to open new possibilities for APC analysis. Within a single, consistent HAPC-GLMM statistical modeling framework, the authors synthesize APC models and methods for three research designs: age-by-time period tables of population rates or proportions

This full-color book explores the design variations and applications of micromaps, which link statistical information to an organized set of small maps. It illustrates the three main types of micromaps (linked, conditioned, and comparative) and summarizes the cognitive research and statistical thinking behind these designs. The book then explain

This work describes the impacts of measurement errors on naive analyses that ignore them and presents ways to correct for them across a variety of statistical models, from simple one-sample problems and misclassification in categorical models to regression models to more complex mixed and time series models. It covers correction methods based on

Emphasizing model choice and model averaging, this book presents Bayesian methods for analyzing complex ecological data. Providing a basic introduction to Bayesian methods, the book includes detailed descriptions of methods that deal with covariate data and covers techniques at the forefront of research, such as model discrimination and model av
