Advanced Linear Modeling

This book will serve as a reference book for graduate students and researchers in statistics. Written by a leading researcher in the field, it discusses advanced topics in the area of linear models.

Presents a collection of methodologies formulated and developed in the framework of linear models Offers accompanying R code online for the included analyses Features several new chapters, as well as new and expanded coverage in this 3rd edition Designed to be used independently or in conjunction with the theoretical Plane Answers to Complex Questions

Texte du rabat
Now in its third edition, this companion volume to Ronald Christensen's Plane Answers to Complex Questions uses three fundamental concepts from standard linear model theorybest linear prediction, projections, and Mahalanobis distance to extend standard linear modeling into the realms of Statistical Learning and Dependent Data.
This new edition features a wealth of new and revised content. In Statistical Learning it delves into nonparametric regression, penalized estimation (regularization), reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces, the kernel trick, and support vector machines. For Dependent Data it uses linear model theory to examine general linear models, linear mixed models, time series, spatial data, (generalized) multivariate linear models, discrimination, and dimension reduction. While numerous references to Plane Answers are made throughout the volume, Advanced Linear Modeling can be used on its own given a solid background in linear models. Accompanying R code for the analyses is available online.
