Speaking Stata Graphics is ideal for researchers who want to produce effective, publication-quality graphs. A compilation of articles from the popular Speaking Stata column by Nicholas J. Cox, this book provides valuable insights about Stata's built-in and user-written statistical-graphics commands.

This volume presents theoretical developments, applications and computational methods for the analysis and modeling in behavioral and social sciences where data are usually complex to explore and investigate. The challenging proposals provide a connection between statistical methodology and the social domain with particular attention to computational issues in order to effectively address complicated data analysis problems.
The papers in this volume stem from contributions initially presented at the joint international meeting JCS-CLADAG held in Anacapri (Italy) where the Japanese...

Knowing how to use Medicare data to answer common research and business questions is a critical skill for many SAS users. Due to its complexity, Medicare data requires specific programming knowledge in order to be applied accurately. Programmers need to understand the Medicare program in order to interpret and utilize its data.

With this book,...

Practical LaTeX covers the material that is needed for everyday LaTeX documents. This accessible manual is friendly, easy to read, and is designed to be as portable as LaTeX itself.

A short chapter, Mission Impossible, introduces LaTeX documents and presentations. Read these 30 pages; you then should be able to compose your own work in LaTeX. The remainder of the book delves deeper into the topics outlined in Mission Impossible while avoiding technical subjects. Chapters on presentations and illustrations are a highlight, as is the introduction of LaTeX on an...

This book provides an introduction to multistate event history analysis. It is an extension of survival analysis, in which a single terminal event (endpoint) is considered and the time-to-event is studied. Multistate models focus on life histories or trajectories, conceptualized as sequences of states and sequences of transitions between states. Life histories are modeled as realizations of continuous-time Markov processes. The model parameters, transition rates, are estimated from data on event counts and populations at risk, using the statistical theory of counting processes.

"Statistik in Theorie und Praxis" schlagt die Brucke statistischer Theorie und realen praktischen Anwendungen. Zum einen wird Wert auf eine saubere Herleitung der gangigen statistischen Verfahren gelegt. Zum anderen beinhaltet der zweite Themenschwerpunkt reale Anwendungen der Methoden in der Praxis. Daruber hinaus werden Projekte an der Schnittstelle zwischen Schul- und Hochschulunterricht vorgestellt. Als Software dient das kostenlose Programm R mit der zugehorigen grafischen Oberflache R-Commander; die zahlreichen Programmbeispiele ermoglichen es, die vorgestellten Themen selbst...

This book introduces advanced undergraduate, graduate students and practitioners to statistical methods for ranking data. An important aspect of nonparametric statistics is oriented towards the use of ranking data. Rank correlation is defined through the notion of distance functions and the notion of compatibility is introduced to deal with incomplete data. Ranking data are also modeled using a variety of modern tools such as CART, MCMC, EM algorithm and factor analysis.

This book deals with statistical methods used for analyzing such data and provides a novel and unifying approach...

This book features 13 papers presented at the Fifth International Symposium on Recurrence Plots, held August 2013 in Chicago, IL. It examines recent applications and developments in recurrence plots and recurrence quantification analysis (RQA) with special emphasis on biological and cognitive systems and the analysis of coupled systems using cross-recurrence methods.

Readers will discover new applications and insights into a range of systems provided by recurrence plot analysis and new theoretical and mathematical developments in recurrence plots. Recurrence plot based analysis is a...

A practical, accessible guide for using SPSS in doing data analysis. Designed to work across disciplines, the authors have provided a number of SPSS "step-by-step" examples in most chapters showing the user how to plan a study, prepare data for analysis, perform the analysis and interpret the output from SPSS. In addition, the authors provide helpful hints and insights through the features "Tips and Caveats" and "Sidebar." The 2nd edition includes two new chapters -- "Creating and Using Graphs" and "Factor Analysis." In addition, a new section on Syntax has been included in an appendix....

In this book we describe the basic elements of present computational technologies that use the algorithmic languages C/C++. The emphasis is on GNU compilers and libraries, FOSS for the solution of computational mathematics problems and visualization of the obtained data.

At the beginning, a brief introduction to C is given with emphasis on its easy use in scientific and engineering computations. We describe the basic elements of the language, such as variables, data types, executable statements, functions, arrays, pointers, dynamic memory and file management. After that, we present...

The examples in this book, provided to illustrate how to use Versions 20-23, are accompanied by menu-driven computer commands . Figures throughout the book show the results of those commands. In addition, a number of exercises are also included at the end of chapters 2 through 5 for additional practice.
