Empirical Likelihood Methods in Biomedicine and Health
Crc Press Inc (Verlag)
978-1-4665-5503-7 (ISBN)
Provides a systematic overview of novel empirical likelihood techniques.
Presents a good balance of theory, methods, and applications.
Features detailed worked examples to illustrate the application of the methods.
Includes R code for implementation.
The book material is attractive and easily understandable to scientists who are new to the research area and may attract statisticians interested in learning more about advanced nonparametric topics including various modern empirical likelihood methods. The book can be used by graduate students majoring in biostatistics, or in a related field, particularly for those who are interested in nonparametric methods with direct applications in Biomedicine.
Albert Vexler obtained his Ph.D. degree in Statistics and Probability Theory from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 2003. Dr. Vexler was a postdoctoral research fellow in the Biometry and Mathematical Statistics Branch at the National Institutes of Health, USA. Dr. Vexler is a tenured Full Professor at the SUNY, Department of Biostatistics. Dr. Vexler has authored and co-authored various publications that contribute to both the theoretical and applied aspects of statistics. Dr. Yu received her Ph.D. degree in Statistics from Texas A & M University in 2003. Her Ph.D. advisor was Thomas E.
