Das Buch bietet eine ausführliche Einführung in die Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung und Statistik für Ingenieur- und Naturwissenschaftler. Es behandelt die wesentlichen grundlegenden Methoden, die insbesondere im ingenieurwissenschaftlichen Bereich ihre Anwendung finden. Anhand von Beispielen und realen Datensätzen werden die Anwendungen der Methoden verdeutlicht und mit der freien Statistik Software R auch die Gelegenheit gegeben, alle Beispiele direkt nachzuvollziehen und die erlernten Methoden auf andere Datensätze anzuwenden. Dazu wird ebenfalls eine kurze Einführung in R gegeben. Am Ende jedes Abschnitts finden sich Übungsaufgaben mit deren Hilfe die Verfahren geübt werden können. Lösungen zu den Aufgaben werden elektronisch bereitgestellt.
This book presents models and statistical methods for the analysis of recurrent event data. The authors provide broad, detailed coverage of the major approaches to analysis, while emphasizing the modeling assumptions that they are based on. More general intensity-based models are also considered, as well as simpler models that focus on rate or mean functions. Parametric, nonparametric and semiparametric methodologies are all covered, with procedures for estimation, testing and model checking.
In longitudinal studies it is often of interest to investigate how a marker that is repeatedly measured in time is associated with a time to an event of interest, e.g., prostate cancer studies where longitudinal PSA level measurements are collected in conjunction with the time-to-recurrence. Joint Models for Longitudinal and Time-to-Event Data: With Applications in R provides a full treatment of random effects joint models for longitudinal and time-to-event outcomes that can be utilized to analyze such data. The content is primarily explanatory, focusing on applications of joint modeling, but sufficient mathematical details are provided to facilitate understanding of the key features of these models. All illustrations put forward can be implemented in the R programming language via the freely available package JM written by the author. All the R code used in the book is available at: http://jmr.r-forge.r-project.org/
This book discusses key aspects of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), presenting the latest research on the biology and treatment of the disease and related issues. The cure rate for ALL has improved dramatically due to advances such as supportive care, treatment stratification based on relapse risk, and the optimization of treatment regimens. Gathering contributions by eminent scholars Pediatric Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia is a valuable resource for pediatric hematologists as well as for medical students, interns, residents and fellows. It not only offers comprehensive insights, but also provides a springboard for future research.
