A hands-on approach to the basic principles of empirical model building is presented in this book. Included is a series of real-world statistical problems illustrating modeling skills and techniques. The book covers models of growth and decay, and systems where competition and interaction add to the complexity of the model. In addition, there is discussion of both classical and nonclassical data analysis methods.
