Abstract

This book is designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to R programming for data analysis, manipulation and presentation. It covers fundamental data structures such as vectors, matrices, arrays and lists, along with techniques for exploratory data analysis, data transformation and manipulation. The book explains basic statistical concepts and demonstrates their implementation using R, including descriptive statistics, graphical representation of data, probability, popular probability distributions and hypothesis testing. It also explores linear and non-linear modeling, model selection and diagnostic tools in R. The book also covers flow control and conditional calculations by using ‘‘if’’ conditions and loops and discusses useful functions and resources for further learning. It provides an extensive list of functions grouped according to statistics classification, which can be helpful for both statisticians and R programmers. The use of different graphic devices, high-level and low-level graphical functions and adjustment of parameters are also explained. Throughout the book, R commands, functions and objects are printed in a different font for easy identification. Common errors, warnings and mistakes in R are also discussed and classified with explanations on how to prevent them.

Abstract

Now in its second edition, this introductory statistics textbook conveys the essential concepts and tools needed to develop and nurture statistical thinking. It presents descriptive, inductive and explorative statistical methods and guides the reader through the process of quantitative data analysis. This revised and extended edition features new chapters on logistic regression, simple random sampling, including bootstrapping, and causal inference. The text is primarily intended for undergraduate students in disciplines such as business administration, the social sciences, medicine, politics, and macroeconomics. It features a wealth of examples, exercises and solutions with computer code in the statistical programming language R, as well as supplementary material that will enable the reader to quickly adapt the methods to their own applications.

Abstract

Competing Risks and Multistate Models with R covers models that generalize the analysis of time to a single event (survival analysis) to analyzing the timing of distinct terminal events (competing risks) and possible intermediate events (multistate models). Both R and multistate methods are promoted with a focus on non- and semiparametric methods.   This book explains hazard-based analyses of competing risks and multistate data with R. Special emphasis is placed on the interpretation of the results. A unique feature of this book is that readers are encouraged to simulate their own data based on the transition hazards only, which are the key quantities of the subsequent analyses. This simulation-based approach is supplemented with real data examples from studies in clinical medicine where the authors have been involved.   This book is aimed at data analysts, with a background in standard survival analysis, who wish to understand, analyse and interpret more complex event histories with R. It is also suitable for graduate courses in biostatistics, statistics and epidemiological methods. The real data examples, R packages, and the entire R code used in the book are available online.   The authors are affiliated with the Institute of Medical Biometry and Medical Informatics, University Medical Center Freiburg and the Freiburg Center for Data Analysis and Modelling, University of Freiburg, Germany.  Jan Beyersmann is Senior Statistician and serves on the editorial board of Statistics in Medicine. Arthur Allignol is Statistician and has contributed several R packages on competing risks and multistate models.  Martin Schumacher is Professor of Biostatistics and Director of the Institute of Medical Biometry and Medical Informatics, Freiburg.  He has been involved in theoretical developments as well as in practical applications of survival analyses and their extensions over many years.

Abstract

I Python and Statistics -- 1 Introduction -- 2 Python -- 3 Data Input -- 4 Data Display -- II Distributions and Hypothesis Tests -- 5 Basic Statistical Concepts -- 6 Distributions of One Variable -- 7 Hypothesis Tests -- 8 Tests of Means of Numerical Data -- 9 Tests on Categorical Data -- 10 Analysis of Survival Times -- III Statistical Modelling -- 11 Finding Patterns in Signals -- 12 Linear Regression Models -- 13 Generalized Linear Models -- 14 Bayesian Statistics -- Appendices -- A Useful Programming Tools -- B Solutions -- C Equations for Confidence Intervals -- D Web Ressources -- Glossary -- Bibliography -- Index. Now in its second edition, this textbook provides an introduction to Python and its use for statistical data analysis. It covers common statistical tests for continuous, discrete and categorical data, as well as linear regression analysis and topics from survival analysis and Bayesian statistics. For this new edition, the introductory chapters on Python, data input and visualization have been reworked and updated. The chapter on experimental design has been expanded, and programs for the determination of confidence intervals commonly used in quality control have been introduced. The book also features a new chapter on finding patterns in data, including time series. A new appendix describes useful programming tools, such as testing tools, code repositories, and GUIs. The provided working code for Python solutions, together with easy-to-follow examples, will reinforce the reader’s immediate understanding of the topic. Accompanying data sets and Python programs are also available online. With recent advances in the Python ecosystem, Python has become a popular language for scientific computing, offering a powerful environment for statistical data analysis. With examples drawn mainly from the life and medical sciences, this book is intended primarily for masters and PhD students. As it provides the required statistics background, the book can also be used by anyone who wants to perform a statistical data analysis. .

Abstract

This textbook presents methods and techniques for time series analysis and forecasting and shows how to use Python to implement them and solve data science problems. It covers not only common statistical approaches and time series models, including ARMA, SARIMA, VAR, GARCH and state space and Markov switching models for (non)stationary, multivariate and financial time series, but also modern machine learning procedures and challenges for time series forecasting. Providing an organic combination of the principles of time series analysis and Python programming, it enables the reader to study methods and techniques and practice writing and running Python code at the same time. Its data-driven approach to analyzing and modeling time series data helps new learners to visualize and interpret both the raw data and its computed results. Primarily intended for students of statistics, economics and data science with an undergraduate knowledge of probability and statistics, the book will equally appeal to industry professionals in the fields of artificial intelligence and data science, and anyone interested in using Python to solve time series problems.

Abstract

“Getting Started with a SIMPLIS Approach” is particularly appropriate for those users who are not experts in statistics, but have a basic understanding of multivariate analysis that would allow them to use this handbook as a good first foray into LISREL. Part I introduces the topic, presents the study that serves as the background for the explanation of matters, and provides the basis for Parts II and III, which, in turn, explain the process of estimation of the measurement model and the structural model, respectively. In each section, we also suggest essential literature to support the utilization of the handbook. After having read the book, readers will have acquired a basic knowledge of structural equation modeling, namely using the LISREL program, and will be  prepared to continue with the learning process.
