Synopsis

Data are said to be binary when each observation falls into one of two categories, such as alive or dead, positive or negative, defective or non-defective and success or failure. In this book, it is shown how data of this type can be analyzed using a modelling approach. It is designed to meet the need of a textbook of an intermediate level which dwells on the practical aspects of modelling binary data, which incorporates recent work on checking the adequacy of fitted models and which shows how modern computational facilities can be exploited. The book begins with a description of a number of studies in which binary data have been collected. These data sets, and others, are then used to illustrate the techniques that are presented in the subsequent chapters. The majority of the examples are drawn from the agricultural, biological and medical sciences. Following this, a number of standard statistical procedures based on binomial distribution are described. The book then introduces the modelling approach, with particular emphasis on the linear logistic model, and covers the analysis of binary data from biological assays and other applications. Further topics discussed include model checking diagnostics, models for overdispersed data, analyzing data from cohort and case-control studies and statistical software packages. Suggestions for further reading are included in each chapter. The book is aimed at statisticians in the pharmaceutical industry and those engaged in agricultural, biological, industrial and medical research, who need to analyze binary data.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Since the original publication of the bestselling Modelling Binary Data, a number of important methodological and computational developments have emerged, accompanied by the steady growth of statistical computing. Mixed models for binary data analysis and procedures that lead to an exact version of logistic regression form valuable additions to the statistician's toolbox, and author Dave Collett has fully updated his popular treatise to incorporate these important advances.

Modelling Binary Data, Second Edition now provides an even more comprehensive and practical guide to statistical methods for analyzing binary data. Along with thorough revisions to the original material-now independent of any particular software package- it includes a new chapter introducing mixed models for binary data analysis and another on exact methods for modelling binary data. The author has also added material on modelling ordered categorical data and provides a summary of the leading software packages.

All of the data sets used in the book are available for download from the Internet, and the appendices include additional data sets useful as exercises.
