Description for In All Likelihood: Statistical Modelling and Inference Using Likelihood
Paperback. This book introduces likelihood as a unifying concept in statistical modelling and inference. The complete range of concepts and applications are covered, from very simple to very complex studies. It relies on realistic examples, and presents the main results using heuristic rather than formal mathematical arguments. Num Pages: 544 pages, 115 b/w line drawings. BIC Classification: PBT; PBWH. Category: (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 233 x 159 x 28. Weight in Grams: 816.
Based on a course in the theory of statistics this text concentrates on what can be achieved using the likelihood/Fisherian method of taking account of uncertainty when studying a statistical problem. It takes the concept ot the likelihood as providing the best methods for unifying the demands of statistical modelling and the theory of inference. Every likelihood concept is illustrated by realistic examples, which are not compromised by computational problems. Examples range from a simile comparison of two accident rates, to complex studies that require generalised linear or semiparametric modelling. The emphasis is that ... Read more

Reviews for In All Likelihood: Statistical Modelling and Inference Using Likelihood
To those of us to whom it is a continuing irritation to be told that there are only two kinds of statisticians, freqentist and Bayesian, this book will come as an enormous relief ... a remarkable book, which deserves the widest distribution; I hope it will gain many converts to the likelihood school.
