Infos

Complex multivariate testing problems are frequently encountered in
many scientific disciplines, such as engineering, medicine and the
social sciences. As a result, modern statistics needs permutation
testing for complex data with low sample size and many variables,
especially in observational studies.

The Authors give a general overview on permutation tests with a
focus on recent theoretical advances within univariate and
multivariate complex permutation testing problems, this book brings
the reader completely up to date with today's current
thinking.

Key Features:

* Examines the most up-to-date methodologies of univariate and
multivariate permutation testing.

* Includes extensive software codes in MATLAB, R and SAS,
featuring worked examples, and uses real case studies from both
experimental and observational studies.

* Includes a standalone free software NPC Test Release 10 with a
graphical interface which allows practitioners from every
scientific field to easily implement almost all complex testing
procedures included in the book.

* Presents and discusses solutions to the most important and
frequently encountered real problems in multivariate analyses.

* A supplementary website containing all of the data sets
examined in the book along with ready to use software codes.

Together with a wide set of application cases, the Authors
present a thorough theory of permutation testing both with formal
description and proofs, and analysing real case studies.
Practitioners and researchers, working in different scientific
fields such as engineering, biostatistics, psychology or medicine
will benefit from this book.
