Generalized Linear Models (Chapman & Hall/Crc Monographs On Statistics And Applied Probability),New

The Success Of The First Edition Of Generalized Linear Models Led To The Updated Second Edition, Which Continues To Provide A Definitive Unified, Treatment Of Methods For The Analysis Of Diverse Types Of Data. Today, It Remains Popular For Its Clarity, Richness Of Content And Direct Relevance To Agricultural, Biological, Health, Engineering, And Other Applications.The Authors Focus On Examining The Way A Response Variable Depends On A Combination Of Explanatory Variables, Treatment, And Classification Variables. They Give Particular Emphasis To The Important Case Where The Dependence Occurs Through Some Unknown, Linear Combination Of The Explanatory Variables.The Second Edition Includes Topics Added To The Core Of The First Edition, Including Conditional And Marginal Likelihood Methods, Estimating Equations, And Models For Dispersion Effects And Components Of Dispersion. The Discussion Of Other Topicsloglinear And Related Models, Log Oddsratio Regression Models, Multinomial Response Models, Inverse Linear And Related Models, Quasilikelihood Functions, And Model Checkingwas Expanded And Incorporates Significant Revisions.Comprehension Of The Material Requires Simply A Knowledge Of Matrix Theory And The Basic Ideas Of Probability Theory, But For The Most Part, The Book Is Selfcontained. Therefore, With Its Worked Examples, Plentiful Exercises, And Topics Of Direct Use To Researchers In Many Disciplines, Generalized Linear Models Serves As Ideal Text, Selfstudy Guide, And Reference.
