Biostatistics for Epidemiology and Public Health Using R

By: Bertram K.C. Chan, PhD

Since it first appeared in 1996, the open-source programming language R has become increasingly popular as an environment for statistical analysis and graphical output. In addition to being freely available, R offers several advantages for biostatistics, including strong graphics capabilities, the ability to write customized functions, and its extensibility. This is the first textbook to present classical biostatistical analysis for epidemiology and related public health sciences to students using the R language. Based on the assumption that readers have minimal familiarity with statistical concepts, the author uses a step-bystep approach to building skills. The text encompasses biostatistics from basic descriptive and quantitative statistics to survival analysis and missing data analysis in epidemiology. Illustrative examples, including real-life research problems and exercises drawn from such areas as nutrition, environmental health, and behavioral health, engage students and reinforce the understanding of R. These examples illustrate the replication of R for biostatistical calculations and graphical display of results. The text covers both essential and advanced techniques and applications in biostatistics that are relevant to epidemiology. This text is supplemented with teaching resources, including an online guide for students in solving exercises and an instructor's manual. KEY FEATURES: First overview biostatistics textbook for epidemiology and public health that uses the open-source R program Covers essential and advanced techniques and applications in biostatistics as relevant to epidemiology Features abundant examples and exercises to illustrate the application of R language for biostatistical calculations and graphical displays of results Includes online student solutions guide and instructor's manual

Simultaneous Mass Transfer and Chemical Reactions in Engineering Science

By: Bertram K. C. Chan

Simultaneous Mass Transfer and Chemical Reactions in Engineering Science A comprehensive look at the basic science of diffusional process and mass transfer Mass transfer as a principle is an essential part of numerous unit operations in biomolecular, chemical, and process engineering; crystallization, distillation, and membrane separation processes, for example, use this important method. Given this significance – particularly in engineering design where these processes occur – understanding the design and analysis of such unit operations must begin with a basic understanding of how simultaneous mass transfer and the chemical reactions that influence these occurrences. It is also vital to be aware of the most up-to-date technologies for analyzing and predicting the phenomena. Given the significance of this process, Simultaneous Mass Transfer and Chemical Reactions in Engineering Science is an important resource as it introduces the reader to the complex subject of simultaneous mass transfer with biochemical and chemical reactions and gives them the tools to develop an applicable design. Analyzing the systems of simultaneous mass transfer and reactions is at the core of this book, as all known design approaches are carefully examined and compared. The volume also provides the reader with a working knowledge of the latest technologies – with a special focus on the open-sourced computer programming language R – and how these tools are an essential resource in quantitative assessment in analysis models. Simultaneous Mass Transfer and Chemical Reactions in Engineering Science provides a working knowledge of the latest information on simultaneous mass transfer and reactions by focusing on the analysis of this process, as well as discussing the existence and distinctive quality of the solutions to the Simultaneous Mass Transfer and Chemical Reactions in Engineering Science readers will also find: A theoretical basis of each design model that is carefully stated, compared, and assessed Carefully developed and established Existence and Uniqueness Theorems for a general design model Comprehensive coverage of how the programming language R may be used to analyze models Numerous examples and case studies that provide a working knowledge of simultaneous mass transfer and reactions Simultaneous Mass Transfer and Chemical Reactions in Engineering Science is a useful reference for students in chemical engineering, biotechnology, or chemistry, as well as professional process and chemical engineers.

Biostatistics for Human Genetic Epidemiology

By: Bertram K. C. Chan

The book illustrates how biostatistics may numerically summarize human genetic epidemiology using R, and may be used successfully to solve problems in quantitative Genetic Epidemiology Biostatistics for Human Genetic Epidemiology provides statistical methodologies and R recipes for human genetic epidemiologic problems. It begins by introducing all the necessary probabilistic and statistical foundations, before moving on to topics related human genetic epidemiology, with R codes illustrations for various examples. This clear and concise book covers human genetic epidemiology, using R in data analysis, including multivariate data analysis. It examines probabilistic and statistical theories for modeling human genetic epidemiology – leading the readers through an effective epidemiologic model, from simple to advanced levels. Classical mathematical, probabilistic, and statistical theory are thoroughly discussed and presented. This book also presents R as a calculator and using R in data analysis. Additionally, it covers Advanced Human Genetic Data Concepts, the Study of Human Genetic Variation, Manhattan Plots, as well as the Procedures for Multiple Comparison. Numerous Worked Examples are provided for illustrations of concepts and real-life applications. Biostatistics for Human Genetic Epidemiology is an ideal reference for professionals and students in Medicine (particularly in Preventive Medicine and Public Health Medical Practices), as well as in Genetics, Epidemiology, and Biostatistics.

Applied Probabilistic Calculus for Financial Engineering

An Introduction Using R

By: Bertram K. C. Chan

Illustrates how R may be used successfully to solve problems in quantitative finance Applied Probabilistic Calculus for Financial Engineering: An Introduction Using R provides R recipes for asset allocation and portfolio optimization problems. It begins by introducing all the necessary probabilistic and statistical foundations, before moving on to topics related to asset allocation and portfolio optimization with R codes illustrated for various examples. This clear and concise book covers financial engineering, using R in data analysis, and univariate, bivariate, and multivariate data analysis. It examines probabilistic calculus for modeling financial engineering—walking the reader through building an effective financial model from the Geometric Brownian Motion (GBM) Model via probabilistic calculus, while also covering Ito Calculus. Classical mathematical models in financial engineering and modern portfolio theory are discussed—along with the Two Mutual Fund Theorem and The Sharpe Ratio. The book also looks at R as a calculator and using R in data analysis in financial engineering. Additionally, it covers asset allocation using R, financial risk modeling and portfolio optimization using R, global and local optimal values, locating functional maxima and minima, and portfolio optimization by performance analytics in CRAN. Covers optimization methodologies in probabilistic calculus for financial engineering Answers the question: What does a "Random Walk" Financial Theory look like? Covers the GBM Model and the Random Walk Model Examines modern theories of portfolio optimization, including The Markowitz Model of Modern Portfolio Theory (MPT), The Black-Litterman Model, and The Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model Applied Probabilistic Calculus for Financial Engineering: An Introduction Using R s an ideal reference for professionals and students in economics, econometrics, and finance, as well as for financial investment quants and financial engineers.
