'This is a first-rate introductory book for modeling count data, a key challenge in applied statistics. Hilbe's experience and affability shine in the text. His careful emphasis on establishing the defensibility of models, for example, in the face of overdispersion, will greatly benefit the beginning statistician. His clear informal explanations of important and complicated statistical principles are invaluable.' Andrew Robinson, University of Melbourne 'The negative binomial model is the foundation for modern analysis of count data. Joe Hilbe's work collects a vast wealth of technical and practical information for the analyst. The theoretical developments and thoroughly worked applications use realistic data sets and a variety of computer packages. They will provide to the practitioner an indispensable guide for basic single-equation count data regressions and advanced applications with recently developed model extensions and methods.' William Greene, New York University 'This book is a great introduction to models for the analysis of count data. Using the Poisson GLM as the basis, it covers a wide range of modern extensions of GLMs, and this makes it unique. Potentially complex models (which are often needed when analyzing real data sets) are presented in an understandable way, partly because data sets and software code are provided. I reckon that this volume will be one of the standard GLM reference books for many years to come.' Alain F. Zuur, Highland Statistics Ltd 'Modeling Count Data is a well-organized entry-level book mainly written for applied researchers with little formal theoretical background in statistics who need to analyse count data ... Thoroughly worked examples with software code, several of them devoted to applying alternative count models to the same data set, provide a basic guide for model selection among competing models. The chapters are well structured, starting with points of discussion and ending with a brief summary. Where required, section themes are summarized. Also, the formula used, abbreviations used and examples used are summarized in tabular form. In brief, it is a remarkable book and can be used as a practical guide for introducing count data analysis.' Anoop Chaturvedi, Journal of the Royal Statistical SocietyMore details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
