Klappentext zu „Applied Statistical Inference “
This book covers modern statistical inference based on likelihood with applications in medicine, epidemiology and biology. Two introductory chapters discuss the importance of statistical models in applied quantitative research and the central role of the likelihood function. The rest of the book is divided into three parts. The first describes likelihood-based inference from a frequentist viewpoint. Properties of the maximum likelihood estimate, the score function, the likelihood ratio and the Wald statistic are discussed in detail. In the second part, likelihood is combined with prior information to perform Bayesian inference. Topics include Bayesian updating, conjugate and reference priors, Bayesian point and interval estimates, Bayesian asymptotics and empirical Bayes methods. Modern numerical techniques for Bayesian inference are described in a separate chapter. Finally two more advanced topics, model choice and prediction, are discussed both from a frequentist and a Bayesianperspective.A comprehensive appendix covers the necessary prerequisites in probability theory, matrix algebra, mathematical calculus, and numerical analysis.

Rezension zu „Applied Statistical Inference “
From the reviews:"Modern statistical techniques for likelihood and Bayesian approaches are presented in detail throughout the book. ... The intended audience is formed by students in bioinformatics, biomathematics, etc., but a large audience could be interested in this book." (Marina Gorunescu, zbMATH, Vol. 1281, 2014)
