Dieting became something of an obsession in the latter part of the 20th century especially among younger, Western females. The influence of the media and the prevalence of Hollywood type images of young slim women prompted many to try to emulate them and savvy entrepreneurs were quick to pick up on the commercial potential of this. Soon all sorts of diets were flooding the market – and the trend continues to this day. This book looks at a range of these diets – some old some new; all claiming to lose you weight and make you look terrific. Many of them won’t live up to their claims but we present a (hopefully) balanced view so you can make up your own mind and use the information to decide which, if any, you want to try. Everyone is different and one concept might work for one person and not another. Good luck – we hope you find this useful and enjoyable whatever route you decide to follow.
Many texts are excellent sources of knowledge about individual statistical tools, but the art of data analysis is about choosing and using multiple tools. Instead of presenting isolated techniques, this text emphasizes problem solving strategies that address the many issues arising when developing multivariable models using real data and not standard textbook examples. It includes imputation methods for dealing with missing data effectively, methods for dealing with nonlinear relationships and for making the estimation of transformations a formal part of the modeling process, methods for dealing with "too many variables to analyze and not enough observations," and powerful model validation techniques based on the bootstrap. This text realistically deals with model uncertainty and its effects on inference to achieve "safe data mining".
