  • An Introductory Handbook of Bayesian Thinking

    • 1st Edition
    • April 17, 2024
    • Stephen C. Loftus
    • English
    An Introductory Handbook of Bayesian Thinking brings Bayesian thinking and methods to a wide audience beyond the mathematical sciences.

  • Modeling and Analysis of Longitudinal Data

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 50
    • February 7, 2024
    • English
    Longitudinal Data Analysis, Volume 50 in the Handbook of Statistics series covers how data consists of a series of repeated observations of the same subjects over an extended time frame and is thus useful for measuring change. Such studies and the data arise in a variety of fields, such as health sciences, genomic studies, experimental physics, sociology, sports and student enrollment in universities. For example, in health studies, intra-subject correlation of responses must be accounted for, covariates vary with time, and bias can arise if patients drop out of the study.
