Beschreibung

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book describes the statistical computing environment called XploRe which is a widely available package (details on how to obtain it are provided in the book). As its name suggests, XploRe provides a highly interactive graphics interface for exploratory statistical analysis and provides for user-written macros and smoothing procedures for effective high-dimensional data analysis. The main aim of the book is to show how XploRe can be used for a wide variety of statistical tasks ranging from basic data manipulation to interactive customizing of graphs and dynamic fitting of high-dimensional statistical models. As a result, it may be used as the basis of a course in model building, computational statistics, applied multivariate analysis, and econometrics.

Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

This book describes an interactive statistical computing environment called 1 XploRe. As the name suggests, support for exploratory statistical analysis is given by a variety of computational tools. XploRe is a matrix-oriented statistical language with a comprehensive set of basic statistical operations that provides highly interactive graphics, as well as a programming environ­ ment for user-written macros; it offers hard-wired smoothing procedures for effective high-dimensional data analysis. Its highly dynamic graphic capa­ bilities make it possible to construct student-level front ends for teaching basic elements of statistics. Hot keys make it an easy-to-use computing environment for statistical analysis. The primary objective of this book is to show how the XploRe system can be used as an effective computing environment for a large number of statistical tasks. The computing tasks we consider range from basic data matrix manipulations to interactive customizing of graphs and dynamic fit­ ting of high-dimensional statistical models. The XploRe language is similar to other statistical languages and offers an interactive help system that can be extended to user-written algorithms. The language is intuitive and read­ ers with access to other systems can, without major difficulty, reproduce the examples presented here and use them as a basis for further investigation.
