There have been major developments in the field of statistics over the last quarter century, spurred by the rapid advances in computing and data-measurement technologies. These developments have revolutionized the field and have greatly influenced research directions in theory a…
Targeted Learning
by Rose, Sherri, van der Laan, Mark J
fromSpringer Series in Statistics
The statistics profession is at a unique point in history. The need for valid statistical tools is greater than ever; data sets are massive, often measuring hundreds of thousands of measurements for a single subject. The field is ready to move towards clear objective benchmarks …
As the size of data sets grows ever larger, the need for valid statistical tools is greater than ever. This book introduces super learning and the targeted maximum likelihood estimator, and discusses complex data structures and related applied topics.
