Beskrivning

Provides the tools needed to successfully perform adaptive tests across a broad range of datasets Adaptive Tests of Significance Using Permutations of Residuals with R and SAS illustrates the power of adaptive tests and showcases their ability to adjust the testing method to suit a particular set of data. The book utilizes state-of-the-art software to demonstrate the practicality and benefits for data analysis in various fields of study.Beginning with an introduction, the book moves on to explore the underlying concepts of adaptive tests, including: Smoothing methods and normalizing transformationsPermutation tests with linear methodsApplications of adaptive testsMulticenter and cross-over trialsAnalysis of repeated measures dataAdaptive confidence intervals and estimatesThroughout the book, numerous figures illustrate the key differences among traditional tests, nonparametric tests, and adaptive tests. R and SAS software packages are used to perform the discussed techniques, and the accompanying datasets are available on the book's related website. In addition, exercises at the end of most chapters enable readers to analyze the presented datasets by putting new concepts into practice.Adaptive Tests of Significance Using Permutations of Residuals with R and SAS is an insightful reference for professionals and researchers working with statistical methods across a variety of fields including the biosciences, pharmacology, and business. The book also serves as a valuable supplement for courses on regression analysis and adaptive analysis at the upper-undergraduate and graduate levels.

Recensioner i media

“Each chapter provides detailed information on R and SAS code, respectively. Moreover, each chapter closes with illustrating exercises (without solutions). This is ideal for researchers who wish to implement anadaptive test of significance for their specific problem.” (Biometrical Journal, 1 May 2013)
