This volume introduces the latest popular methods for conducting business research. The goal of each chapter author is to provide an understanding of each method with a minimum of mathematical derivations. The chapters are organized within three general interrelated topics: meas…
Propensity Score Analysis provides readers with a systematic review of the origins, history, and statistical foundations of PSA and illustrates how to use PSA methods for solving evaluation problems. With a strong focus on practical applications, the authors explore various type…
This book presents multivariate time series methods for the analysis and optimal control of feedback systems. Although ships? autopilot systems are considered through the entire book, the methods set forth in this book can be applied to many other complicated, large, or noisy fe…
The research and its outcomes presented here focus on spatial sampling of agricultural resources. The authors introduce sampling designs and methods for producing accurate estimates of crop production for harvests across different regions and countries. With the help of real and…
Through refereed papers, this volume focuses on the foundations of the Bayesian paradigm; their comparison to objectivistic or frequentist Statistics counterparts; and the appropriate application of Bayesian foundations. This research in Bayesian Statistics is applicable to data…

Encouraging interdisciplinary research, this book introduces state-of-the-art phylogenetics to the Bayesian statistical community and, likewise, presents state-of-the-art Bayesian statistics to the phylogenetics community. The book emphasizes model selection, reflecting recent i…
This book provides a collection of in-depth mathematical, statistical, and modeling methods and techniques for life sciences, as well as their applications in a number of areas within life sciences. The book provides also with a range of new ideas that represent emerging fronti…
The Cult of Statistical Significance shows, field by field, how "statistical significance," a technique that dominates many sciences, has been a huge mistake. The authors find that researchers in a broad spectrum of fields, from agronomy to zoology, employ testing that doesn't "…
