Abstract

Getting started with SAS is easy with The Little SAS Book. This friendly, easy-to-read guide gently introduces you to the most commonly used features of SAS software plus a whole lot more! The book has been revised to include concepts of the Output Delivery System; the STYLE= option in the PRINT, REPORT, and TABULATE procedures; ODS HTML, RTF, PRINTER, and OUTPUT destinations; PROC REPORT; more on PROC TABULATE; exporting data; and the colon modifier for informats. You'll find clear and concise explanations of basic SAS concepts (such as DATA and PROC steps), inputting data, modifying and combining data sets, summarizing and presenting data, basic statistical procedures, and debugging SAS programs. Each topic is presented in a self-contained, two-page layout complete with examples and graphics. This format enables new users to get up and running quickly, while the examples allow you to type in the program and see it work!

Abstract

While regression analysis traces the dependence of the distribution of a response variable to see if it bears a particular (linear) relationship to one or more of the predictors, nonparametric regression analysis makes minimal assumptions about the form of relationship between the average response and the predictors. This makes nonparametric regression a more useful technique for analyzing data in which there are several predictors that may combine additively to influence the response. (An example could be something like birth order/gender/and temperament on achievement motivation). Unfortunately, researchers have not had accessible information on nonparametric regression analysisuntil now. Beginning with presentation of nonparametric regression based on dividing the data into bins and averaging the response values in each bin, Fox introduces readers to the techniques of kernel estimation, additive nonparametric regression, and the ways nonparametric regression can be employed to select transformations of the data preceding a linear least-squares fit. The book concludes with ways nonparametric regression can be generalized to logit, probit, and Poisson regression.

Abstract

Visualization methods. A strategy for data analysis that stresses the use of visualization to thoroughly study the structure of data and to check the validity of mathematical and statistical models fitted to data. Prerequisites: Basic statistics and least-squares fitting.

Abstract

This new edition of this classic incorporates the most recent thinking on methodology and software, as well as the latest literature on multilevel statistical models. Topics covered by multilevel models have increased in recent years, and the methods are widely applied in the social sciences as well as in areas such as epidemiology, geography, education, surveys, and medicine. This third edition includes chapters on meta analysis, factor analysis and structural equation models, and has expanded sections on MCMC methods.

Abstract

This update to the classic book by ggplot2 creator Hadley Wickham upgrades the book to match the many upgrades to ggplot2 that have happened in the last five years. ggplot2 is a data visualization package for R that helps users create data graphics, including those that are multi-layered, with ease. With ggplot2, it's easy to : superimpose multiple layers (points, lines, maps, tiles, box plots) from different data sources with automatically adjusted common scales ; add customizable smoothers that use powerful modeling capabilities of R, such as loess, linear models, generalized additive models, and robust regression ; save any ggplot2 plot (or part thereof) for later modification or reuse ; create custom themes that capture in-house or journal style requirements and that can easily be applied to multiple plots ; approach a graph from a visual perspective, thinking about how each component of the data is represented on the final plot. This book will be useful to everyone who has struggled with displaying data in an informative and attractive way. Some basic knowledge of R is necessary (e.g., importing data into R). ggplot2 is a mini-language specifically tailored for producing graphics, and you'll learn everything you need in the book. After reading this book you'll be able to produce graphics customized precisely for your problems, and you'll find it easy to get graphics out of your head and on to the screen or page. New to this edition : brings the book up-to-date with ggplot2 2.1.0, including major updates to the theme system ; new scales, stats and geoms added throughout ; additional practice exercises ; a revised introduction that focuses on ggplot() instead of qplot() ; updated chapters on data and modeling using tidyr, dplyr and broom.
