Generalized Linear Models With Examples in R
Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
978-1-4419-0117-0 (ISBN)
The book is designed with the student in mind, making it suitable for self-study or a structured course. Beginning with an introduction to linear regression, the book also devotes time to advanced topics not typically included in introductory textbooks. It features chapter introductions and summaries, clear examples, and many practice problems, all carefully designed to balance theory and practice. The text also provides a working knowledge of applied statistical practice through the extensive use of R, which is integrated into the text.
Other features include:
• Advanced topics such as power variance functions, saddlepoint approximations, likelihood score tests, modified profile likelihood, small-dispersion asymptotics, and randomized quantile residuals
• Nearly 100 data sets in the companion R package GLMsData
• Examples that are cross-referenced to the companion data set, allowing readers to load the data and follow the analysis in their own R session
Peter K. Dunn is Associate Professor in the Faculty of Science, Health, Education and Engineering at the University of the Sunshine Coast. His work focuses on mathematical statistics, in particular generalized linear models. He has developed methods for accurate numerical evaluation of the densities of the Tweedie distributions, leading to a better understanding of these distributions. An engaging teacher, Dunn is the recipient of an Australian Office of Learning and Teaching citation. He has also won several conference paper prizes, including the EJ Pitman Prize at the Australian Statistics Conference. He is a member of the Statistical Society of Australia Inc. and the Australian Mathematics Society. Gordon K. Smyth is Head of the Bioinformatics Division at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research and Honorary Professor of Mathematics & Statistics at The University of Melbourne. He has published research on generalized linear models and statistical computing for over 30 years and is the author of several popular R packages. In recent years, he has particularly promoted the use of generalized linear models to model data from genomic sequencing technologies.
