Kategoria BISAC: Mathematics >> Probability & Statistics - Regression Analysis

Like a lot of people, Miu has had trouble learning regression analysis. But with new motivation--in the form of a handsome but shy customer--and the help of her brilliant cafe coworker Risa, she's determined to master it.

Follow along with Miu and Risa in The Manga Guide to Regression Analysis as they calculate the effect of temperature on iced tea orders, predict bakery revenues, and work out the probability of cake sales with simple, multiple, and logistic regression analysis. You'll get a refresher in basic concepts like matrix equations, inverse functions, logarithms, and...

This short book introduces the main ideas of statistical inference in a way that is both user friendly and mathematically sound. Particular emphasis is placed on the common foundation of many models used in practice. In addition, the book focuses on the formulation of appropriate statistical models to study problems in business, economics, and the social sciences, as well as on how to interpret the results from statistical analyses.

The book will be useful to students who are interested in rigorous applications of statistics to problems in business, economics and the social...

Data where for each entity and variable a distribution is given is called distributional data. In the era of "Big Data," this type of data is becoming more and more prevalent. This edited book presents a synthesis of research in this area over the last twenty years or so. It has been carefully edited to ensure it is consistent with respect to style, level, notation, etc. Each chapter includes real data examples to illustrate the topics and software where appropriate.

This book is designed primarily for upper level undergraduate and graduate level students taking a course in multilevel modelling and/or statistical modelling with a large multilevel modelling component. The focus is on presenting the theory and practice of major multilevel modelling techniques in a variety of contexts, using Mplus as the software tool, and demonstrating the various functions available for these analyses in Mplus, which is widely used by researchers in various fields, including most of the social sciences. In particular, Mplus offers users a wide array of tools for latent...
