About this title

Synopsis:

As with the bestselling first edition, Computational Statistics Handbook with MATLAB^�, Second Edition covers some of the most commonly used contemporary techniques in computational statistics. With a strong, practical focus on implementing the methods, the authors include algorithmic descriptions of the procedures as well as examples that illustrate the use of the algorithms in data analysis. Updated for MATLAB^� R2007a and the Statistics Toolbox, Version 6.0, this edition incorporates many additional computational statistics topics.

New to the Second Edition

• New functions for multivariate normal and multivariate t distributions

• Updated information on the new MATLAB functionality for univariate and bivariate histograms, glyphs, and parallel coordinate plots

• New content on independent component analysis, nonlinear dimensionality reduction, and multidimensional scaling

• New topics on linear classifiers, quadratic classifiers, and voting methods, such as bagging, boosting, and random forests

• More methods for unsupervised learning, including model-based clustering and techniques for assessing the results of clustering

• A new chapter on parametric models that covers spline regression models, logistic regression, and generalized linear models

• Expanded information on smoothers, such as bin smoothing, running mean and line smoothers, and smoothing splines

With numerous problems and suggestions for further reading, this accessible text facilitates an understanding of computational statistics concepts and how they are employed in data analysis.

Review:

Praise for the First Edition
[T]his book is perfectly appropriate as a textbook for an introductory course on computational statistics. It covers many useful topics, which in combination with the well-documented code, make the underlying concepts easy to grasp by the students. ... Overall, this is a very nice book to be used in an undergraduate- or Masters-level computational statistics course. It would also prove useful to researchers in other fields that want to learn and implement quickly some advanced statistical techniques.
-Journal of Statistical Software, July 2004, Vol. 11

I am pleased to see the publication of a comprehensive book related to computational statistics and MATLAB. ... [T]his book is ambitious and well written. As a long-time user of MATLAB, I find this book useful as a reference, and thus recommend it highly to statisticians who use MATLAB. The book also would be very useful to engineers and scientists who are well trained in statistics.

Store Description

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area.

We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
