"Gamers, Multiculturalists, and the Great Coming Apart is the first book to pull together the central features of the American society, character, and history of the global era and its immediate aftermath into a single, powerful, comprehensive, and coherent picture. Seamlessly interdisciplinary, it looks at all facets of recent American society and history as reflecting first the global liberal paradigm that reigned from 1965 until 2016, and then the incipient paradigms that have competed during the years of crisis since. It is the first book to pull together the central features of American society, character, and history since 1965 into a single comprehensive and coherent picture that dissents from key aspects of the long-dominant paradigm. Gamers, Multiculturalists, and the Great Coming Apart describes and extensively analyzes the gamers, the fascinating new upper class that has risen to dominance in this country as in most others during the last half century. It also analyzes the character and circumstances of the middle class, working class, and underclass, laying bare the profound, many-sided conflict between the gamers and the middle and working classes. It also examines the group salience of multiculturalism that was the tacit domestic consensus for 51 years, until Donald Trump and his movement overturned it in 2016. Gamers, Multiculturalists, and the Great Coming Apart (GMGCA) goes to the essence of how this society could present us with the shocking political events of the last two years. You will find in it a lively, powerful, and utterly original treatment of contemporary American society, character, and history. At a time in which the foundations of this nation, the West, and the world are again in question as they have not been since the late 1960s and early 1970s-when the stakes could not be higher-this ambitious book carefully examines the most profound paradigm questions. Although predominantly dissenting, GMGCA seeks proportion and balance. Not a single other high-quality, comprehensive conservative analysis of this society and its recent history exists"--

Discover the power of mixed models with JMP and JMP Pro. Mixed models are now the mainstream method of choice for analyzing experimental data. Why? They are arguably the most straightforward and powerful way to handle correlated observations in designed experiments. Reaching well beyond standard linear models, mixed models enable you to make accurate and precise inferences about your experiments and to gain deeper understanding of sources of signal and noise in the system under study. Well-formed fixed and random effects generalize well and help you make the best data-driven decisions. JMP for Mixed Models brings together two of the strongest traditions in SAS software: mixed models and JMP. JMP's groundbreaking philosophy of tight integration of statistics with dynamic graphics is an ideal milieu within which to learn and apply mixed models, also known as hierarchical linear or multilevel models. If you are a scientist or engineer, the methods described herein can revolutionize how you analyze experimental data without the need to write code. Inside you'll find a rich collection of examples and a step-by-step approach to mixed model mastery. Topics include: Learning how to appropriately recognize, set up, and interpret fixed and random effects Extending analysis of variance (ANOVA) and linear regression to numerous mixed model designs Understanding how degrees of freedom work using Skeleton ANOVA Analyzing randomized block, split-plot, longitudinal, and repeated measures designs Introducing more advanced methods such as spatial covariance and generalized linear mixed models Simulating mixed models to assess power and other important sampling characteristics Providing a solid framework for understanding statistical modeling in general Improving perspective on modern dilemmas around Bayesian methods, p-values, and causal inference.
