Generalized Linear Models for Bounded and Limited Quantitative Variables: Quantitative Applications in the Social Sciences, cartea 181

Autor Michael Smithson, Yiyun Shou
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 dec 2019
The book brings together material on the analysis of limited and bounded variables that is scattered across the literature in several disciplines, and presents it in a style that is both more accessible and up-to-date. The authors provide worked examples in each chapter using real datasets from a variety of disciplines. The software used for the examples include R, SAS, and Stata. The data, software code, and detailed explanations of the example models are available on an accompanying website.

Recenzii

This book provides a thorough and accessible look at an important class of statistical models. It communicates intuition well and shows through numerous examples that understanding how to analyze bounded outcome variables is useful for applied researchers.
The authors are leaders in the world-wide effort to extend and tailor the generalized linear model to variables that are bounded and not normally distributed. The discussion of models for data recorded as proportions is worth the price of admission.

Notă biografică

Michael Smithson is a Professor in the Research School of Psychology at The Australian National University in Canberra, and received his PhD from the University of Oregon. He is the author of Confidence Intervals (2003), Statistics with Confidence (2000), Ignorance and Uncertainty (1989), and Fuzzy Set Analysis for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (1987), co-author of Fuzzy Set Theory: Applications in the Social Sciences (2006) and Generalized Linear Models for Categorical and Limited Dependent Variables (2014), and co-editor of Uncertainty and Risk: Multidisciplinary Perspectives (2008) and Resolving Social Dilemmas: Dynamic, Structural, and Intergroup Aspects (1999). His other publications include more than 170 refereed journal articles and book chapters. His primary research interests are in judgment and decision making under ignorance and uncertainty, statistical methods for the social sciences, and applications of fuzzy set theory to the social sciences.
