'Big data', 'data science', and 'machine learning' have become familiar terms in the news, as statistical methods are brought to bear upon the enormous data sets of modern science and commerce. How did we get here? And where are we going? This book takes us on an exhilarating journey through the revolution in data analysis following the introduction of electronic computation in the 1950s. Beginning with classical inferential theories - Bayesian, frequentist, Fisherian - individual chapters take up a series of influential topics: survival analysis, logistic regression, empirical Bayes, the jackknife and bootstrap, random forests, neural networks, Markov chain Monte Carlo, inference after model selection, and dozens more. The distinctly modern approach integrates methodology and algorithms with statistical inference. The book ends with speculation on the future direction of statistics and data science.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Science Nature & MathBook Series: Institute of Mathematical Statistics MonographsTopic: Medicine, Society & Culture, Social Sciences, Computing & InternetRelease Year: 2016 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
