期刊全称 | Applied Statistical Inference | 期刊简称 | Likelihood and Bayes | 影响因子2023 | Leonhard Held,Daniel Sabanés Bové | 视频video | | 发行地址 | Offers a non-technical introduction to model-based likelihood and Bayesian inference.Covers many applications illustrating the concepts and approaches.Complemented by exercises at the end of each chap | 图书封面 |  | 影响因子 | .This book covers modern statistical inference based on likelihood with applications in medicine, epidemiology and biology. Two introductory chapters discuss the importance of statistical models in applied quantitative research and the central role of the likelihood function. The rest of the book is divided into three parts. The first describes likelihood-based inference from a frequentist viewpoint. Properties of the maximum likelihood estimate, the score function, the likelihood ratio and the Wald statistic are discussed in detail. In the second part, likelihood is combined with prior information to perform Bayesian inference. Topics include Bayesian updating, conjugate and reference priors, Bayesian point and interval estimates, Bayesian asymptotics and empirical Bayes methods. Modern numerical techniques for Bayesian inference are described in a separate chapter. Finally two more advanced topics, model choice and prediction, are discussed both from a frequentist and a Bayesian perspective.. .A comprehensive appendix covers the necessary prerequisites in probability theory, matrix algebra, mathematical calculus, and numerical analysis.. | Pindex | Textbook 20141st edition |
