Böcker av David J. Hand

This book is about the function and use of official statistics. While thousands of official statistics are published every year, and some are quoted by politicians, used by policy-makers or reported in the media, the authors observe that, in the main, official statistics do not feature much in everyday lives of people and businesses.

This text is aimed at both statisticians and researchers in other disciplines such as medicine and psychology who make extensive use of longitudinal data analysis. It is aimed at practical application of the techniques, and an extensive data appendix provides many real data sets.

This book presents a summary of recent work on the interface between artificial intelligence and statistics

A handbook of small data sets. It should be useful from a teaching as well as a computational statistics point of view.
