{"product_id":"9780143134398","title":"Crazy for Birds","description":"\u003cp\u003eServing as both a student textbook and a professional reference\/handbook, this volume explores the statistical methods of examining time intervals between successive state transitions or events. Examples include: survival rates of patients in medical studies, unemployment periods in economic studies, or the period of time it takes a criminal to break the law after his release in a criminological study. The authors illustrate the entire research path required in the application of event-history analysis, from the initial problems of recording event-oriented data to the specific questions of data organization, to the concrete application of available program packages and the interpretation of the obtained results. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEvent History Analysis\u003c\/i\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• makes didactically accessible the inclusion of covariates in semi-parametric and parametric regression models based upon concrete examples \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• presents the unabbreviated close relationship underlying statistical theory \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• details parameter-free methods of analysis of event-history data and the possibilities of their graphical presentation \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• discusses specific problems of multi-state and multi-episode models \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• introduces time-varying covariates and the question of unobserved population heterogeneity \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e• demonstrates, through examples, how to implement hypotheses tests and how to choose the right model.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Temple Publications International, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47008522535152,"sku":"9780143134398","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780143134398_p0.jpg?v=1763657189","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780143134398","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
