Abstract

Stata is one of the most popular statistical software in the world and suited for all kinds of users, from absolute beginners to experienced veterans. This book offers a clear and concise introduction to the usage and the workflow of Stata. Included topics are importing and managing datasets, cleaning and preparing data, creating and manipulating variables, producing descriptive statistics and meaningful graphs as well as central quantitative methods, like linear (OLS) and binary logistic regressions and matching. Additional information about diagnostical tests ensures that these methods yield valid and correct results that live up to academic standards. Furthermore, users are instructed how to export results that can be directly used in popular software like Microsoft Word for seminar papers and publications. Lastly, the book offers a short yet focussed introduction to scientific writing, which should guide readers through the process of writing a first quantitative seminar paper or research report. The book underlines correct usage of the software and a productive workflow which also introduces aspects like replicability and general standards for academic writing. While absolute beginners will enjoy the easy to follow point-and-click interface, more experienced users will benefit from the information about do-files and syntax which makes Stata so popular. Lastly, a wide range of user-contributed software ("Ados") is introduced which further improves the general workflow and guarantees the availability of state of the art statistical methods.

Abstract

Cet ouvrage s'adresse à tous ceux qui s'intéressent au logiciel de statistiques SPSS: les analystes de marché, les économistes, les professionnels du domaine social, sans oublier les étudiants des cours de méthodologie et ceux qui peinent sur leur mémoire ou leur thèse. Le guide d'apprentissage s'adresse aux néophytes, les auteurs ayant fait le pari qu'il valait mieux ne supposer aucune connaissance en la matière. Il saura ainsi profiter à chacun. Introduction à l'analyse des données de sondage avec SPSS ne vise pas à se substituer au manuel de référence de SPSS -par ailleurs excessivement bien fait et complet-, mais souhaite plutôt accompagner l'exploration première de ce logiciel, aider à franchir le premier seuil, celui des manipulations de base. Le guide, conçu comme outil d'autoformation, a donc pour but de démystifier SPSS. Le lecteur trouvera des explications détaillées pour entrer ses données et produire les statistiques descriptives usuelles, notamment les distributions de fréquences et les tableaux croisés; il verra également comment illustrer les distributions par des graphiques. Grâce à ce livre, il vous suffira de quelques heures pour vous familiariser avec SPSS. Bonne pratique!

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

Discovering Structural Equation Modeling Using Stata is devoted to Stata's sem command and all it can do. Learn about its capabilities in the context of confirmatory factor analysis, path analysis, structural equation modeling, longitudinal models, and multiple-group analysis. Each model covered is presented along with the necessary Stata code, which is parsimonious, powerful, and can be modified to fit a wide variety of models. The datasets used are downloadable, and you are encouraged to run the programs in a hands-on approach to learning. A particularly exciting feature of Stata is the SEM builder. This graphic interface for structural equation modeling allows you to draw publication-quality path diagrams and to fit the models without writing any programming code. When you fit a model with the SIM builder, Stata automatically generates the complete code that you can save for future use. Use of this unique tool is extensively covered in an appendix, and brief examples appear throughout the text. A miminal background in multiple regression is sufficient to benefit from this text. While it would be helpful to have some experience with Stata, it is not essential. Though the primary audience is those who are new to structural equation modeling, those who are already familiar with it will find this text useful for the Stata code it covers. Overall, the text is intended to be practical and will serve as a useful reference

Abstract

Most books on data mining focus on principles and furnish few instructions on how to carry out a project. Data Mining Using SAS Applications not only introduces concepts but also enables readers to understand and apply data mining methods using downloadable SAS macro-call files. These techniques stress the use of visualization for studying the structure of data and the validity of statistical models. With the SAS macro-call files, readers explore: techniques for creating training and validation samples; exploratory graphical techniques; frequency analysis for categorical data; unsupervised and supervised learning methods; model validation techniques; and how to convert PC databases to SAS data.

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.
