Statisticians and applied scientists often must select a model to fit empirical data. This book introduces researchers and graduate students in many areas to an information criterion approach, first introduced by Hirotugu Akaike in 1973. The book will be of general interest, but the emphasis is on applications to the biological sciences.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -We wrote this book to introduce graduate students and research workers in various scienti c disciplines to the use of information-theoretic approaches in the analysis of empirical data. These methods allow the data-based selection of a 'best' model and a ranking and weighting of the remaining models in a pre-de ned set. Traditional statistical inference can then be based on this selected best model. However, we now emphasize that information-theoretic approaches allow formal inference to be based on more than one model (m- timodel inference). Such procedures lead to more robust inferences in many cases, and we advocate these approaches throughout the book. The second edition was prepared with three goals in mind. First, we have tried to improve the presentation of the material. Boxes now highlight ess- tial expressions and points. Some reorganization has been done to improve the ow of concepts, and a new chapter has been added. Chapters 2 and 4 have been streamlined in view of the detailed theory provided in Chapter 7. S- ond, concepts related to making formal inferences from more than one model (multimodel inference) have been emphasized throughout the book, but p- ticularly in Chapters 4, 5, and 6. Third, new technical material has been added to Chapters 5 and 6. Well over 100 new references to the technical literature are given. These changes result primarily from our experiences while giving several seminars, workshops, and graduate courses on material in the rst e- tion. 520 pp. Englisch. Seller Inventory # 9781441929730
