{"product_id":"9783540719717","title":"Applied Statistics Using SPSS, STATISTICA, MATLAB and R","description":"\u003ch1\u003eApplied Statistics Using SPSS, STATISTICA, MATLAB and R\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch2\u003eMarques de Sá, Joaquim P.\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eFour years have passed since the first edition of this book. During this time I have had the opportunity to apply it in classes obtaining feedback from students and inspiration for improvements. I have also benefited from many comments by users of the book. For the present second edition large parts of the book have undergone major revision, although the basic concept – concise but sufficiently rigorous mathematical treatment with emphasis on computer applications to real datasets –, has been retained. The second edition improvements are as follows: • Inclusion of R as an application tool. As a matter of fact, R is a free software product which has nowadays reached a high level of maturity and is being increasingly used by many people as a statistical analysis tool. • Chapter 3 has an added section on bootstrap estimation methods, which have gained a large popularity in practical applications. • A revised explanation and treatment of tree classifiers in Chapter 6 with the inclusion of the QUEST approach. • Several improvements of Chapter 7 (regression), namely: details concerning the meaning and computation of multiple and partial correlation coefficients, with examples; a more thorough treatment and exemplification of the ridge regression topic; more attention dedicated to model evaluation. • Inclusion in the book CD of additional MATLAB functions as well as a set of R functions. • Extra examples and exercises have been added in several chapters. • The bibliography has been revised and new references added.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2007-06-08\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783540719717\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-540-71972-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 505\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46541741686924,"sku":"9783540719717","price":125.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783540719717.jpg?v=1775752827","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783540719717","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
