Statistical Modelling in Biostatistics and Bioinformatics: Selected Papers: Contributions to Statistics

Editat de Gilbert MacKenzie, Defen Peng
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 20 mai 2014
This book presents selected papers on statistical model development related mainly to the fields of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics. The coverage of the material falls squarely into the following categories: (a) Survival analysis and multivariate survival analysis, (b) Time series and longitudinal data analysis, (c) Statistical model development and (d) Applied statistical modelling. Innovations in statistical modelling are presented throughout each of the four areas, with some intriguing new ideas on hierarchical generalized non-linear models and on frailty models with structural dispersion, just to mention two examples. The contributors include distinguished international statisticians such as Philip Hougaard, John Hinde, Il Do Ha, Roger Payne and Alessandra Durio, among others, as well as promising newcomers. Some of the contributions have come from researchers working in the BIO-SI research programme on Biostatistics and Bioinformatics, centred on the Universities of Limerick andGalway in Ireland and funded by the Science Foundation Ireland under its Mathematics Initiative.

Recenzii

From the book reviews:
“The book under review consists of four parts covering survival analysis (Chapters 1–4), longitudinal modeling and time series (Chapters 5–7), statistical model development (Chapters 8–11) and applied statistical modeling (Chapters 12–14). … the variety of topics make it a must-have for a computational biology/bioinformatics lab.” (Irina Ioana Mohorianu, zbMATH, Vol. 1295, 2014)

Notă biografică

Professor Gilbert MacKenzie has a research background in Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Mathematical Statistics. His current research interests include multivariate survival modelling, frailty modelling and covariance modelling. He has published a wide range of research papers and reports and is a past President of the Irish Statistical Association. He holds an adjunct Professorship in Statistics in the University of Limerick and was a visiting Professor in Statistics at ENSAI, France, from 2010 to 2011.
Professor Defen Peng was a visiting Professor in Statistics and senior Research Fellow in the BIO-SI research programme at Limerick from 2009 to 2010. Professor Peng originally worked in the field of Economics at Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, PRC. She has published widely and is currently pursuing several areas of Statistics, such as: survival analysis with frailty, bivariate survival analysis, and the stability of regression models with categoricalcovariates.

Caracteristici

Presents new implications for statistical analyses of frailty survival models with structural dispersion Features new methods of model-based clustering in Bioinformatics as well as of detecting genetic sweeps in population genetics Provides new insights into non-proportional hazards survival models and the use of H-likelihood methods Presents results on the new class of HGLMs - hierarchical generalized non-linear models
