Summary, Etc. Note: |
Summary: This book provides an up-to-date treatment of the techniques for developing and applying a wide variety of statistical models. It presents unified coverage of the theory behind generalized, linear, and mixed media models and highlights their similarities and differences in various construction, application, and computational aspects. A clear introduction to the basic ideas of fixed effects models, random effects models, and mixed models is maintained throughout, and each chapter illustrates how these models are applicable in a wide array of contexts. In addition, a discussion of general methods for the analysis of such models is presented with an emphasis on the method of maximum likelihood for the estimation of parameters. The authors also provide coverage of the latest statistical models for correlated, non-normally distributed data. This second edition features: a new chapter that covers omitted covariates, incorrect random effects distribution, correlation of covariates and random effects, and variance estimation; a new chapter that treats shared random effected models, latent class models, and properties of models; a revised chapter on longitudinal data, which now includes a discussion of generalized linear models, modern advances in longitudinal data analysis, and the use between and within covariate decompositions; expanded coverage of marginal versus conditional models, and numerous new and updated examples. |
