Bøker i Statistics for Biology and Health-serien

This text bridges the gap between standard models, and those where the dynamic structure of the data manifests itself fully. The common thread is stochastic processes. The authors show how martingales and stochastic integrals fit with censored data.

This book provides the foundations of likelihood, Bayesian and MCMC methods in the context of genetic analysis of quantitative traits. Effort has been made to relate biological to statistical parameters throughout, and extensive examples are included to illustrate the arguments.

This book is for statistical practitioners, particularly those who design and analyze studies for survival and event history data. Building on recent developments motivated by counting process and martingale theory, it shows the reader how to extend the Cox model to analyze multiple/correlated event data using marginal and random effects.
