Multilevel Statistical Models 4e

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Throughout the social, medical and other sciences the importance of understanding complex hierarchical data structures is well understood. Multilevel modelling is now the accepted statistical technique for handling such data and is widely available in computer software packages. A thorough understanding of these techniques is therefore important for all those working in these areas. This new edition of Multilevel Statistical Models brings these techniques together, starting from basic ideas and illustrating how more complex models are derived. Bayesian methodology using MCMC has been extended along with new material on smoothing models, multivariate responses, missing data, latent normal transformations for discrete responses, structural equation modeling and survival models.

Key Features:

Provides a clear introduction and a comprehensive account of the

of multilevel models.

New methodological developments and applications are explored.

Written by a leading expert in the field of multilevel methodology.

Illustrated throughout with real-life examples, explaining theoretical

concepts.

This book is suitable as a comprehensive text for postgraduate courses, as well as a general reference guide. Applied statisticians in the social sciences, economics, biological and medical disciplines will find this book beneficial.

Autorenporträt

From the Boston area, Nichol is a fan of all things art. Known for her weirdness, and general snarkasm, Nichol works to engage her audience in several mediums. Many stick to one favorite genre, but she can't seem to make up her mind. You will see her dipping into everything from graphic horror, graphic novels, to graphic romance. Trust the descriptions, mind the tags and just know that, if you like her writing, you're in for a good ride. Her favorite colors are black and burgundy red, and she loves tea with honey, indulging once a week on Saturday. Specifically Saturday. If it's not Saturday, tea shall not happen.
