Regression - Fahrmeir, Ludwig

. .

Résumé :
In dem Band beschreiben die Autoren erstmals klassische Regressionsans?tze und moderne nicht- und semiparametrische Methoden in einer integrierten und anwendungsorientierten Form. Um Lesern die Analyse eigener Fragestellungen zu erm?glichen, demonstrieren sie die praktische Anwendung der Konzepte und Methoden anhand ausf?hrlicher Fallstudien. Geeignet f?r Studierende der Statistik sowie f?r Wissenschaftler und Praktiker, zum Beispiel in den Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaften, der Bioinformatik und -statistik, ?konometrie und Epidemiologie.

Biographie:
Ludwig Fahrmeir is Professor Emeritus at the Institute of Statistics at LMU Munich, Germany. From 1995 to 2006 he was the speaker of the Collaborative Research Center 'Statistical Analysis of Discrete Structures', supported financially by the German National Science Foundation. His main research interests include semiparametric regression, longitudinal data analysis and spatial statistics, with applications ranging from social science and risk management to public health and neuroscience. Thomas Kneib is a Professor of Statistics at the University of G?ttingen, Germany, where he is the Speaker of the interdisciplinary Centre for Statistics and Vice-Speaker of the Campus Institute Data Science. He received his PhD in Statistics at LMU Munich and, during his PostDoc phase, was Visiting Professor of Applied Statistics at the University of Ulm and Substitute Professor of Statistics at the University of G?ttingen. From 2009 until 2011 he was Professor of Applied Statistics at Carl von Ossietzky University Oldenburg. His main research interests include semiparametric regression, spatial statistics and distributional regression. Stefan Lang is a Professor of Applied Statistics at the University of Innsbruck, Austria. He received his PhD at LMU Munich. From 2005 to 2006 he was Professor of Statistics at the University of Leipzig. He is currently Associate Editor of the journal Statistical Modelling. His main research interests include semiparametric and spatial regression, multilevel modelling and complex Bayesian models, with applications, among others, in development economics, environmetrics, marketing science, real estate and actuarial science. Brian D. Marx was Professor at the Department of Experimental Statistics at Louisiana State University, LA, USA. He passed away shortly after the authors finished the work on this 2nd edition. His main research interests included P-spline smoothing, ill-conditioned regression problems, and high-dimensional chemometric applications. He was serving as Coordinating Editor for the journal Statistical Modelling for many years, was Chair of the Statistical Modelling Society, and a Fellow of the American Statistical Association....

Die praktische Anwendung der vorgestellten Konzepte und Methoden wird anhand ausf?hrlich vorgestellter Fallstudien demonstriert, um Lesern die Analyse eigener Fragestellungen zu erm?glichen....

From the reviews: The purpose of the book is a consistent introduction to parametric, non- and semi-parametric regression. It is oriented to applications and it is written for a wide spectrum ... readers. ... The homepage to the book contains tips to suitable statistical software as well as most of the data sets used in the book. (R. Schlittgen, Zentrablatt MATH, Vol. 1153, 2009)
