Numerical Issues in Statistical Computing for the Social Scientist |
| Wiley Series in Probability and Statistics |
| Micah Altman (Harvard University, Cambridge, MA); Jefferson M. Gill (University of Florida, Gainesville, FL); Michael P. McDonald (University of Illinois at Springfield, Springfield, IL) |
| This clear, accessible text provides a unified collection of works that guide empirical social scientists past the traps and mines of modern statistical computing. This is the first book to give social scientists modern-day tools, tricks, and advice on numerical methods in statistical computation, yet remains accessible through explanation and example. The book introduces the basic principles of numerical computation, outlines the optimization process, and provides tools for assessing the sensitivity of the subsequent results to problems in the data or with the model.
