Computational Methods for the Study of Dynamic Economies
ASIN: 0521474469 |
Book Description
This book provides a thorough introduction to dynamics, and to phase diagrams and their economic application. From the mathematical point of view it covers both quantitative and qualitative dynamic systems; continuous and discrete dynamics; linear and non-linear systems and single equations and systems of equations. It illustrates dynamic systems using Mathematica, Maple V and spreadsheets employing numerous numerical examples. It provides an introduction to phase diagrams and their use in both microeconomics and macroeconomics, explaining the nature of saddle path solutions. Besides standard topics in both microeconomics and macroeconomics, there is an extended treatment of open economy macroeconomics, including overshooting. It also provides an introduction to optimal control theory and chaos theory. Copious exercises are provided along with solutions at the end of each chapter. Online solutions package and instructor’s manual available - www.cup.cam.ac.uk/0521479738.

Book Description
The Quality Movement and Organizational Theory provides a framework within which organization theorists may learn from, reflect upon, and contribute to the development of new approaches to organizational change and improvement. The book includes contributions by researchers who have been at the forefront of assessing new quality approaches, how they work, and the conditions under which they are effective. It also draws upon other organizational scholars who reflect on current efforts and findings in an effort to better link them to existing knowledge. The book bridges the world of theory and practice, making academics aware of recent developments to improve organizational performance and exploring ways in which these efforts both contribute to and challenge current theories. Practitioners will profit from the concerns and insights of organizational scholars.

Pruning and training review.......2002-07-30
A great book for both the experienced and novice gardener. Informative pictures, clear, concise and easy to follow.
However as many of us gardeners know the only way to prune is to get out there and do it! Mistakes will be made but hopefully not as many with this guide.

Book Description
The viability of modern fruit production is dependent on a number of factors. Probably the most important one of these after site selection is that of orchrd design. The selection of suitable cultivator and rootstock combinations is the starting point for ongoing tree training and pruning which will continue for the life of the orchard. The days of large size fruit trees producing a tonne or more of each fruit are gone forever - a modern orchardist cannot afford to wait for the trees to grow very large, and the production costs of fruit on large, old trees is very high.
Book Description
This book provides a comprehensive treatment of linear mixed models for continuous longitudinal data. Next to model formulation, this edition puts major emphasis on exploratory data analysis for all aspects of the model, such as the marginal model, subject-specific profiles, and residual covariance structure. Further, model diagnostics and missing data receive extensive treatment. Sensitivity analysis for incomplete data is given a prominent place. Several variations to the conventional linear mixed model are discussed (a heterogeity model, condional linear mid models). This book will be of interest to applied statisticians and biomedical researchers in industry, public health organizations, contract research organizations, and academia. The book is explanatory rather than mathematically rigorous. Most analyses were done with the MIXED procedure of the SAS software package, and many of its features are clearly elucidated. How3ever, some other commercially available packages are discussed as well. Great care has been taken in presenting the data analyses in a software-independent fashion. Geert Verbeke is Assistant Professor at the Biostistical Centre of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in Belgium. He received the B.S. degree in mathematics (1989) from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, the M.S. in biostatistics (1992) from the Limburgs Universitair Centrum, and earned a Ph.D. in biostatistics (1995) from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. Dr. Verbeke wrote his dissertation, as well as a number of methodological articles, on various aspects of linear mixed models for longitudinal data analysis. He has held visiting positions at the Gerontology Research Center and the Johns Hopkins University. Geert Molenberghs is Assistant Professor of Biostatistics at the Limburgs Universitair Centrum in Belgium. He received the B.S. degree in mathematics (1988) and a Ph.D. in biostatistics (1993) from the Universiteit Antwerpen. Dr. Molenberghs published methodological work on the analysis of non-response in clinical and epidemiological studies. He serves as an associate editor for Biometrics, Applied Statistics, and Biostatistics, and is an officer of the Belgian Statistical Society. He has held visiting positions at the Harvard School of Public Health.

Excellent book.......2007-03-08
The book covers many advanced topics of Longitudinal data with many examples and SAS programs. Congatulations to the authors for this outstanding job.
Savas Papadopoulos
thorough treatment of linear mixed models.......2000-09-21
This book is basically an update of their 1997 mongraph. Longitudinal data are important in biostatistics and particularly in the analysis of clinical trials. There are effective methods for handling longitudinal data using linear models with covariance structures that represent the time dependence of the repeated observations. There are many subtle issues in the analysis and many who analyze longitudinal data apply incorrect linear models and are often not aware of the consequences of their decisions. The authors were motivated to provide a reference source to remedy this problem. The book presents the theory and applications and uses SAS Proc Mixed as a vehicle for presenting many of the results in a clear and understandable fashion. An important feature of the book is its emphasis on how best to deal with the problem of missing data. This is covered in chapters 14 - 16. Although SAS is emphasized throughout the book other software tools are also illustrated in Appendix A (including SPlus). SUDAAN is a package produced by the Research Triangle Institute in North Carolina that also handles longitudinal data but is overlooked by the authors. Another great book on longitudinal data analysis is Diggle, Liang and Zeger "Analysis of Longitudinal Data" published in 1994. There have been many advances since 1994 and Verbeke and Molenberghs cover a great deal of it. You can find my review of Diggle, Liang and Zeger on Amazon. An updated second edition of their book is in the works and will probably appear in 2001.

Description:
Over the last decade the use of generalized linear models (GLMs) in actuarial statistics has received a lot of attention, starting from the actuarial illustrations in the standard text by McCullagh and Nelder [McCullagh, P., Nelder, J.A., 1989. Generalized linear models. In: Monographs on Statistics and Applied Probability. Chapman and Hall, New York]. Traditional GLMs however model a sample of independent random variables. Since actuaries very often have repeated measurements or longitudinal data (i.e. repeated measurements over time) at their disposal, this article considers statistical techniques for modelling such data within the framework of GLMs. Use is made of generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) which model a transformation of the mean as a linear function of both fixed and random effects. The likelihood and Bayesian approaches to GLMMs are explained. The models are illustrated by considering classical credibility models and more general regression models for non-life ratemaking in the context of GLMMs. Details on computation and implementation (in SAS and WinBugs) are provided.
