Its basic philosophy is to produce statistical procedures which are stable when the data do not exactly match the postulated models as it is the case for example with outliers. \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRobust Methods in Biostatistics\u003c\/i\u003e proposes robust alternatives to common methods used in statistics in general and in biostatistics in particular and illustrates their use on many biomedical datasets. The methods introduced include robust estimation, testing, model selection, model check and diagnostics. They are developed for the following general classes of models: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eLinear regression\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGeneralized linear models\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLinear mixed models\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMarginal longitudinal data models\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCox survival analysis model\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe methods are introduced both at a theoretical and applied level within the framework of each general class of models, with a particular emphasis put on practical data analysis. This book is of particular use for research students, applied statisticians and practitioners in the health field interested in more stable statistical techniques. An accompanying website provides R code for computing all of the methods described, as well as for analyzing all the datasets used in the book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephane Heritier,Eva Cantoni,Samuel Copt\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0470027266\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780470027264\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wiley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.25h x 6.34w x 0.82d","brand":"Stephane Heritier","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48013736378623,"sku":"9780470027264","price":118.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2dcdb5bb-aec8-4248-b791-58048e12d488.jpg?v=1767744449","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/robust-methods-in-biostatistics-stephane-heritier-9780470027264","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
