Description for Model Selection and Multi-model Inference
Hardback. A comprehensive text on the philosophy of model-based data analysis and strategy for the analysis of empirical data. It introduces information theoretic approaches and focuses critical attention on a priori modeling and the selection of a good approximating model that best represents the inference supported by the data. Num Pages: 488 pages, 51 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PBWH; PDE; TBJ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 239 x 163 x 34. Weight in Grams: 934.
We wrote this book to introduce graduate students and research workers in various scienti?c disciplines to the use of information-theoretic approaches in the analysis of empirical data. These methods allow the data-based selection of a “best” model and a ranking and weighting of the remaining models in a pre-de?ned set. Traditional statistical inference can then be based on this selected best model. However, we now emphasize that information-theoretic approaches allow formal inference to be based on more than one model (m- timodel inference). Such procedures lead to more robust inferences in many cases, and we advocate these approaches throughout the ... Read more
