Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - An accessible and self-contained introduction to statistical models-now in a modernized new editionGeneralized, Linear, and Mixed Models, Second Edition provides an up-to-date treatment of the essential techniques for developing and applying a wide variety of statistical models. The book presents thorough and unified coverage of the theory behind generalized, linear, and mixed models and highlights their similarities and differences in various construction, application, and computational aspects.A clear introduction to the basic ideas of fixed effects models, random effects models, and mixed models is maintained throughout, and each chapter illustrates how these models are applicable in a wide array of contexts. In addition, a discussion of general methods for the analysis of such models is presented with an emphasis on the method of maximum likelihood for the estimation of parameters. The authors also provide comprehensive coverage of the latest statistical models for correlated, non-normally distributed data. Thoroughly updated to reflect the latest developments in the field, the Second Edition features:\* A new chapter that covers omitted covariates, incorrect random effects distribution, correlation of covariates and random effects, and robust variance estimation\* A new chapter that treats shared random effects models, latent class models, and properties of models\* A revised chapter on longitudinal data, which now includes a discussion of generalized linear models, modern advances in longitudinal data analysis, and the use between and within covariate decompositions\* Expanded coverage of marginal versus conditional models\* Numerous new and updated examplesWith its accessible style and wealth of illustrative exercises, Generalized, Linear, and Mixed Models, Second Edition is an ideal book for courses on generalized linear and mixed models at the upper-undergraduate and beginning-graduate levels. It also serves as a valuable reference for applied statisticians, industrial practitioners, and researchers.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A new edition of the classic treatment of chemical thermodynamicsFor more than fifty years, this critically acclaimed and highly influential publication has been the textbook of choice in the field of chemical thermodynamics. This Seventh Edition not only brings the text thoroughly up to date with the latest developments and applications, it also offers new features that better enable students to master key concepts and apply them in practice.While thoroughly revised and updated, the text's fundamental objectives remain unchanged: to present the foundations and interrelationships of thermodynamics and to enable students to apply basic concepts in solving problems typically encountered by chemists, biologists, geologists, and materials scientists. Moreover, the text continues to maintain a logical unity throughout by focusing on the laws of classical thermodynamics and applications to gases, solutions, phase equilibria, and chemical equilibria.Designed to meet the needs of today's students and instructors, the text offers:\* Rigorous explanations of abstract concepts that are clear and simple\* Logical organization of materials that enables students to progressively build and apply knowledge\* Worked examples demonstrating how concepts are applied to solve actual problems\* Detailed coverage of essential mathematical tools, with mathematical review chapters provided for additional support\* A thorough presentation of graphical, numerical, and analytical computational techniques\* Exercises that accurately reflect the types of problems encountered by practicing scientists\* An explanation of the treatment of mixtures of gases, followed by an explanation of the treatment of chemical equilibrium\* A new discussion of the relation of Henry's law to regular solutions and the relation of regular solutions to limited miscibilityUpdated to reflect the latest applications in science and engineering, Chemical Thermo-dynamics continues to set the standard in its field.
