Applied Statistics in Business and Economics
by David P. Doane Lori E. SewardApplied Statistics in Business and Economics, 7th edition, provides real meaning to the use of statistics in the real world by using real business situations and real data while appealing to students who want to know the why rather than just the how. The text emphasizes thinking about data, choosing appropriate analytic tools, using computers effectively, and recognizing the limitations of statistics. It motivates student learning through applied current exercises and cases that provide real-world relevance and includes analytics in action, careers, and applications of big data, Artificial Intelligence, and machine learning (including ethical issues). The Doane and Seward authors work as a team, integrating the digital and eBook assets seamlessly. In recognition of a growing interest in analytics training beyond Excel, the textbook now provides an optional introduction to R with illustrations of topics in each chapter. Support for R is further enhanced with Learning Stats modules, tables of R functions, and R-compatible Excel data sets.
Applied Statistics in Social Sciences
by Emilio Gómez-Déniz Enrique Calderín-OjedaThis work is a detailed description of different discrete and continuous univariate and multivariate distributions with applications in economics and different financial problems and other scenarios in which these recently developed statistical models have been applied in recent years, including actuarial statistics (with emphasis on credibility theory, ruin theory, calculation of insurance premiums, etc.), stochastic frontier analysis (estimation of technical efficiency), duration models (intraday rate of trading), population geography, income and wealth distribution, physical economy, tourism and sports, among others. Each distribution is dealt with in a separate chapter along with descriptions of all possible applications. The authors also provide a detailed analysis of the proposed probabilistic families, discussing their relationship with existing models, statistical properties, analyzing their strengths and weaknesses, similarities and differences, different estimation methods along with comments on possible applications and extensions. Simulation methods are given for most of the models presented. Many of the probabilistic models shown along with their applications in the fields indicated are a result of numerous research articles published by the authors although others are also provided, mainly based on classical formulations, which have been the starting point of more general models. This volume contains an extensive updated bibliography selected from magazines and books on statistics, mathematics, economics, actuarial sciences and computer science. This book is an essential manual for researchers, professionals, professionals and, in general, for graduate students in computer science, engineering, bioinformatics, statistics and mathematics, since the concise writing style makes the book accessible to a wide audience.

Applied Stochastic Differential Equations (Institute of Mathematical Statistics Textbooks #10)
by Simo Särkkä Arno SolinStochastic differential equations are differential equations whose solutions are stochastic processes. They exhibit appealing mathematical properties that are useful in modeling uncertainties and noisy phenomena in many disciplines. This book is motivated by applications of stochastic differential equations in target tracking and medical technology and, in particular, their use in methodologies such as filtering, smoothing, parameter estimation, and machine learning. It builds an intuitive hands-on understanding of what stochastic differential equations are all about, but also covers the essentials of Itô calculus, the central theorems in the field, and such approximation schemes as stochastic Runge–Kutta. Greater emphasis is given to solution methods than to analysis of theoretical properties of the equations. The book's practical approach assumes only prior understanding of ordinary differential equations. The numerous worked examples and end-of-chapter exercises include application-driven derivations and computational assignments. MATLAB/Octave source code is available for download, promoting hands-on work with the methods.
Applied Structural Equation Modeling using AMOS: Basic to Advanced Techniques
by Joel E. CollierThis is an essential how-to guide on the application of structural equation modeling (SEM) techniques with the AMOS software, focusing on the practical applications of both simple and advanced topics. Written in an easy-to-understand conversational style, the book covers everything from data collection and screening to confirmatory factor analysis, structural model analysis, mediation, moderation, and more advanced topics such as mixture modeling, censored date, and non-recursive models. Through step-by-step instructions, screen shots, and suggested guidelines for reporting, Collier cuts through abstract definitional perspectives to give insight on how to actually run analysis. Unlike other SEM books, the examples used will often start in SPSS and then transition to AMOS so that the reader can have full confidence in running the analysis from beginning to end. Best practices are also included on topics like how to determine if your SEM model is formative or reflective, making it not just an explanation of SEM topics, but a guide for researchers on how to develop a strong methodology while studying their respective phenomenon of interest. With a focus on practical applications of both basic and advanced topics, and with detailed work-through examples throughout, this book is ideal for experienced researchers and beginners across the behavioral and social sciences.

Applied Surrogate Endpoint Evaluation Methods with SAS and R (Chapman & Hall/CRC Biostatistics Series)
by Ariel Alonso Theophile Bigirumurame Tomasz Burzykowski Marc Buyse Geert Molenberghs Leacky Muchene Nolen Joy Perualila Ziv Shkedy Wim Van der ElstAn important factor that affects the duration, complexity and cost of a clinical trial is the endpoint used to study the treatment’s efficacy. When a true endpoint is difficult to use because of such factors as long follow-up times or prohibitive cost, it is sometimes possible to use a surrogate endpoint that can be measured in a more convenient or cost-effective way. This book focuses on the use of surrogate endpoint evaluation methods in practice, using SAS and R.
