Many more exercises are provided (including 84% more applied exercises) than in the previous edition, helping consolidate the reader's understanding of all subjects covered, and making the book highly suitable for use in a classroom setting. Several new datasets, mostly from the health and medical sector, are discussed, including previously unpublished data from a study of Tourette's Syndrome in children.
Editorial ReviewsReview
"Models for Discrete Data is a refreshing applied statistics book, refreshing for its clear presentation, style and contents. ... This is an applied statistics book that every serious statistician, especially a student, should have on his desk."--Mathematical Association of America
"One of this book's greatest strengths is its inclusion of a large number of useful exercises, each categorized as either theoretical or applied. These problems greatly enhance the book's value as a course text, particularly for a master's level graduate course oriented primarily toward applications rather than theory."--Journal of the American Statistical Association
