Quantile Regression, the first book of Hao and Naiman's two-book series, establishes the seldom recognized link between inequality studies and quantile regression models. Though separate methodological literature exists for each subject, the authors seek to explore the natural connections between this increasingly sought-after tool and research topics in the social sciences.

ISBN: 9780387775005 / Angielski / Twarda / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Statistical Learning from a Regression Perspective considers statistical learning applications when interest centers on the conditional distribution of the response variable, given a set of predictors, and when it is important to characterize how the predictors are related to the response.

Among the statistical learning procedures examined are bagging, random forests, boosting, and support vector machines. Response variables may be quantitative or categorical. Real applications are...

In their preface to the second edition of Test Equating, Scaling, and Linking, Mike Kolen and Bob Brennan (2004) made the following observation: "Prior to 1980, the subject of equating was ignored by most people in the measurement community except for psychometricians, who had responsibility for equating" (p. vii). The authors went on to say that considerably more attention is now paid to equating, indeed to all forms of linkages between tests, and that this increased attention can be attributed to several factors: 1. An increase in the number and variety of testing programs that use multiple...

Bayesian Predictive Inference for Some Linear Models under Student-t Errors
ISBN: 9783639040869 / Angielski / Miękka / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In real life often we need to make inferences about the behaviour of the unobserved responses for a model based on the observed responses from the model. Regression models with normal errors are commonly considered in prediction problems. However, when the underlying distributions have heavier tails, the normal errors assumption fails to allow sufficient probability in the tail areas to make allowance for any extreme value or outliers. As well, it cannot deal with the uncorrelated but not independent observations which are common in time series and econometric studies. In such situations, the...
