Most questions in social and biomedical sciences are causal in nature: what would happen to individuals, or to groups, if part of their environment were changed? In this groundbreaking text, two world-renowned experts present statistical methods for studying such questions. This…
Updated and expanded edition of a text for graduate and advanced undergraduate students of applied statistics. Differs most conspicuously from the 1983 edition in that exercises can now be found at the end of each of the fifteen chapters.

An exploration of the many different bootstrap techniques. It discusses useful statistical techniques through real data examples and covers nonparametric regression, density estimation, classification trees, and least median squares regression. There are numerous exercises.
Since the publication of the first edition of "Empirical Bayes methods" in 1970, there have been many contributions to the theory known as the empirical Bayes approach. This book collects and presents practical examples of the application of empirical Bayes ideas and techniques.
This textbook is intended for undergraduates who are carrying out laboratory experiments in the physical sciences for the first time. It is a practical guide on how to analyze data and estimate errors. The necessary formulas for performing calculations are given, and the ideas b…
