Bücher der Reihe Chapman & Hall/CRC Monographs on Statistics and Applied Probability

Presenting an extensive set of tools and methods for data analysis, this second edition includes more models and methods and significantly extends the possible analyses based on ranks. It contains a new section on rank procedures for nonlinear models, a new chapter on models with dependent error structure, and new material on the development of computationally efficient affine invariant/equivariant sign methods based on transform-retransform techniques in multivariate models. The authors illustrate the methods using many real-world examples and R. Information about the data sets and R packages can be found at www.crcpress.com
