Statisticians rely heavily on making models of 'causal situations' in order to explain and predict events. Modelling therefore plays a vital part in all applications of statistics and is a component of most undergraduate programmes. This book seeks to serve as a reference for all three years of a degree course.

Statisticians rely heavily on making models of 'causal situations' in order to fully explain and predict events. Modelling therefore plays a vital part in all applications of statistics and is a component of most undergraduate programmes. "An Introduction to Statistical Modelling" provides a single reference with an applied slant that caters for all three years of a degree course. The book concentrates on core issues and only the most essential mathematical justifications are given in detail. Attention is firmly focused on the statistical aspects of the techniques, in this lively, practical approach.

Inhalt

Introduction to statistical models; probability models and basic inference; normality and quantitative explanatory variables - regression; normality and qualitative variables - analysis of variance; non-normality - the theory of generalized linear models; binomial response data - logistic regression; multinomial and Poisson response data - log-linear models; survival data; survey of extensions and alternative approaches.
