Discrete Multivariate Analysis: Theory and Practice 2007th Edition by Yvonne M. Bishop (PDF)

Description

“A welcome addition to multivariate analysis. The discussion is lucid and very leisurely, excellently illustrated with applications drawn from a wide variety of fields. A good part of the book can be understood without very specialized statistical knowledge. It is a most welcome contribution to an interesting and lively subject.” — NatureOriginally published in 1974, this book is a reprint of a classic, still-valuable text.

Editorial Reviews: Review From the reviews:”The book deals with discrete multivariate analysis in an effort to bring together in an organised way the extensive theory and practice existing in this field. It is organised in 14 chapters. … is well addressed to readers from different background and different interests covering a wide range from graduate students in theoretical statistics to quantitative biological or social scientists, applied statisticians and other quantitative research workers looking for comprehensive analyses of discrete multivariate data.” (Christina Diakaki, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1131 (9), 2008) From the Back Cover “At last, after a decade of mounting interest in log-linear and related models for the analysis of discrete multivariate data, particularly in the form of multidimensional tables, we now have a comprehensive text and general reference on the subject. Even a mediocre attempt to organize the extensive and widely scattered literature on discrete multivariate analysis would be welcome; happily, this is an excellent such effort, but a group of Harvard statisticians taht has contributed much to the field. Their book ought to serve as a basic guide to the analysis of quantitative data for years to come.” –James R. Beninger, Contemporary Sociology”A welcome addition to multivariate analysis. The discussion is lucid and very leisurely, excellently illustrated with applications drawn from a wide variety of fields. A good part of the book can be understood without very specialized statistical knowledge. It is a most welcome contribution to an interesting and lively subject.” –D.R. Cox, Nature”Discrete Multivariate Analysis is an ambitious attempt to present log-linear models to a broad audience. Exposition is quite discursive, and the mathematical level, except in Chapters 12 and 14, is very elementary. To illustrate possible applications, some 60 different sets of data have been gathered together from diverse fields. To aid the reader, an index of these examples has been provided. …the book contains a wealth of material on important topics. Its numerous examples are especially valuable.” –Shelby J. Haberman, The Annals of Statistics

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Although written in the early 1970s, I found this reference to provide an excellent coverage of methods that are relevant today. It is also a joy to read.

⭐has some useful material not in newer texts

⭐This book is the first well-organized treatise in contingency table analysis using log-linear models. Today it remains the best in the subject. It is extremely fun to read. Tons of examples clearly explained with the help of lots of graphs and tables. Mathematical notations and arguments are clean and elegant. The MIT Press also deserved high praise for making this book with top quality and affordable price to students. In a perfect world, all books in mathematics and statistics should be written and published this way. This book is a gem.
