Statistical Methods for Ranking Data

By: Mayer Alvo,Philip L.H. Yu

This book introduces advanced undergraduate, graduate students and practitioners to statistical methods for ranking data. An important aspect of nonparametric statistics is oriented towards the use of ranking data. Rank correlation is defined through the notion of distance functions and the notion of compatibility is introduced to deal with incomplete data. Ranking data are also modeled using a variety of modern tools such as CART, MCMC, EM algorithm and factor analysis. This book deals with statistical methods used for analyzing such data and provides a novel and unifying approach for hypotheses testing. The techniques described in the book are illustrated with examples and the statistical software is provided on the authors’ website.

A Parametric Approach to Nonparametric Statistics

By: Mayer Alvo,Philip L. H. Yu

This book demonstrates that nonparametric statistics can be taught from a parametric point of view. As a result, one can exploit various parametric tools such as the use of the likelihood function, penalized likelihood and score functions to not only derive well-known tests but to also go beyond and make use of Bayesian methods to analyze ranking data. The book bridges the gap between parametric and nonparametric statistics and presents the best practices of the former while enjoying the robustness properties of the latter. This book can be used in a graduate course in nonparametrics, with parts being accessible to senior undergraduates. In addition, the book will be of wide interest to statisticians and researchers in applied fields.

Lung and Pleural Pathology

By: Philip Cagle,Timothy Craig Allen

The first textbook to fully cover the revolution in pulmonary pathology Lung and Pleural Pathology goes beyond the scope of traditional pulmonary pathology textbooks by analyzing all of the changing paradigms that are reshaping pulmonary pathology practice. Authored by renowned pulmonary pathologists, it is the one comprehensive, up-to-date pulmonary pathology textbook that covers important new clinical approaches, including new WHO classification of lung cancer; the current status of lung cancer biomarkers; and emerging concepts in lung fibrosis and interstitial lung diseases, which have implications for newer treatments. The book also discusses the identification and characterization of recently publicized pulmonary infections. Encompassing text, abundant color figures, and multiple tables, Lung and Pleural Pathology is a practical yet complete guide to the current pathologic diagnosis of pulmonary disease, including: · Emerging pulmonary diseases · Latest classifications of lung cancer and non-neoplastic diseases · Biomarkers in lung cancer · Pediatric pulmonary pathology · Smoking-related lung diseases · Small airways disease · Acute lung injury · Pulmonary lymphomas · Lung transplant pathology Philip T. Cagle, MD is Medical Director, Pulmonary Pathology, Department of Pathology and Genomic Medicine, The Methodist Hospital Research Institute, Houston, Texas; and Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine, Weill Cornell Medical College of Cornell University, New York, New York. Timothy C. Allen, MD is Professor, Department of Pathology; and Director of Anatomic Pathology, The University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston.
