Beschreibung

Hardcover. This entry-level text offers clear and concise guidelines on how to select, construct, interpret, and evaluate count data. Written for researchers with little or no background in advanced statistics, the book presents treatments of all major models using numerous tables, insets, and detailed modeling suggestions. It begins by demonstrating the fundamentals of modeling count data, including a thorough presentation of the Poisson model. It then works up to an analysis of the problem of overdispersion and of the negative binomial model, and finally to the many variations that can be made to the base count models. Examples in Stata, R, and SAS code enable readers to adapt models for their own purposes, making the text an ideal resource for researchers working in health, ecology, econometrics, transportation, and other fields. Written for researchers with little or no background in advanced statistics, this book provides guidelines and fully worked examples of how to select, construct, interpret and evaluate the full range of count models. Stata, R, and SAS code enable readers in a variety of disciplines to adapt models for their own purposes. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
