Analysis of Variance for Random Models, Volume 2: Unbalanced Data : Theory, Methods, Applications, and Data Analysis - Tapa dura

De la contraportada

Analysis of variance (ANOVA) models have become widely used tools and play a fundamental role in much of the application of statistics today. In particular, ANOVA models involving random effects have found widespread application to experimental design in a variety of fields requiring measurements of variance, including agriculture, biology, animal breeding, applied genetics, econometrics, quality control, medicine, engineering, and social sciences.

* Systematic treatment of the commonly employed crossed and nested classification models used in analysis of variance designs

* Detailed and thorough discussion of certain random effects models not commonly found in texts at the introductory or intermediate level

* Numerical examples to analyze data from a wide variety of disciplines

* Many worked examples containing computer outputs from standard software packages such as SAS, SPSS, and BMDP for each numerical example

* Extensive exercise sets at the end of each chapter

* Numerous appendices with background reference concepts, terms, and results

* Balanced coverage of theory, methods, and practical applications

* Complete citations of important and related works at the end of each chapter, as well as an extensive general bibliography

Accessible to readers with only a modest mathematical and statistical background, the work will appeal to a broad audience of students, researchers, and practitioners in the mathematical, life, social, and engineering sciences. It may be used as a textbook in upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses, or as a reference for readers interested in the use of random effects models for data analysis.
