Download or read book Regression Analysis written by Jeremy Arkes and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-01-19 with total page 515 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thoroughly practical and engaging textbook is designed to equip students with the skills needed to undertake sound regression analysis without requiring high-level math. Regression Analysis covers the concepts needed to design optimal regression models and to properly interpret regressions. It details the most common pitfalls, including three sources of bias not covered in other textbooks. Rather than focusing on equations and proofs, the book develops an understanding of these biases visually and with examples of situations in which such biases could arise. In addition, it describes how ‘holding other factors constant’ actually works and when it does not work. This second edition features a new chapter on integrity and ethics, and has been updated throughout to include more international examples. Each chapter offers examples, exercises, and clear summaries, all of which are designed to support student learning to help towards producing responsible research. This is the textbook the author wishes he had learned from, as it would have helped him avoid many research mistakes he made in his career. It is ideal for anyone learning quantitative methods in the social sciences, business, medicine, and data analytics. It will also appeal to researchers and academics looking to better understand regressions. Additional digital supplements are available at: www.youtube.com/channel/UCenm3BWqQyXA2JRKB_QXGyw.

Oxford Studies in Metaphysics is a forum for the best new work in this flourishing field. OSM offers a broad view of the subject, featuring not only the traditionally central topics such as existence, identity, modality, time, and causation, but also the rich clusters of metaphysical questions in neighbouring fields, such as philosophy of mind and philosophy of science. Besides independent essays, volumes will often contain a critical essay on a recent book, or a symposium that allows participants to respond to one another's criticisms and questions. Anyone who wants to know what's happening in metaphysics can start here.

Download or read book All or None written by Kenneth Willeford, MD and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-06-08 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible claims that since the creation of the world Gods invisible qualities- his eternal power and divine nature- have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made. Creation science evaluates this claim and presents scientific evidence that contradicts evolution. Since there are only two possibilities for the existence of life, becoming convinced that evolution is not true leads to a new or deeper belief in God. This is a new method to present the evolution and creation controversy in the context of a sequence of events which must all individually be evaluated to make a logical decision concerning belief in either. This unique approach with the use of logic, or common sense, leads to a personal conclusion of the most philosophic question imaginable- Is God Real?

Download or read book Causality in the Sciences written by Phyllis Illari and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2011-03-17 with total page 953 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a need for integrated thinking about causality, probability and mechanisms in scientific methodology. Causality and probability are long-established central concepts in the sciences, with a corresponding philosophical literature examining their problems. On the other hand, the philosophical literature examining mechanisms is not long-established, and there is no clear idea of how mechanisms relate to causality and probability. But we need some idea if we are to understand causal inference in the sciences: a panoply of disciplines, ranging from epidemiology to biology, from econometrics to physics, routinely make use of probability, statistics, theory and mechanisms to infer causal relationships. These disciplines have developed very different methods, where causality and probability often seem to have different understandings, and where the mechanisms involved often look very different. This variegated situation raises the question of whether the different sciences are really using different concepts, or whether progress in understanding the tools of causal inference in some sciences can lead to progress in other sciences. The book tackles these questions as well as others concerning the use of causality in the sciences.

Book excerpt: You are the only thing in the world you can change. And when you change, the whole world changes with you. Provolution invites you on an odyssey of personal transformation from your mind, your body and your spirit, guiding you towards the natural wellbeing, emotional freedom and spiritual peace you deserve. From endemic global egotism to the enduring deception of time, Provolution describes how the world has become stuck in a spiral of suffering perpetuated by flawed ideas that have endured for millennia. Drawing upon natural concepts like human spirit, uni-time, i-go, and relational mirrors, Provolution empowers you with real world skills to take back control of a future that you have relinquished to an illusion of fear and to transcend the conditioning that compels you to suffer. Provolution is your guide to spiritual evolution in a world that likes your suffering exactly as it is. If you're seeking global change, begin by provolving your own.

Book excerpt: A Transition to Proof: An Introduction to Advanced Mathematics describes writing proofs as a creative process.

This is done with style tips and strict "mathematical do’s and don’ts", which are presented in eye-catching "text-boxes" throughout the text. The end result enables readers to fully understand the fundamentals of proof. Features: The text is aimed at transition courses preparing students to take analysis Promotes creativity, intuition, and accuracy in exposition The language of proof is established in the first two chapters, which cover logic and set theory Includes chapters on cardinality and introductory topology

Download or read book Time and Cause written by P. van Inwagen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Taylor was born in Charlotte, Michigan on 5 November 1919. He received his A. B. from the University of illinois in 1941, his M. A. from Oberlin College in 1947, and his Ph. D. from Brown University in 1951. He has been William H. P. Faunce Professor of Philosophy at Brown University, Professor of Philosophy (Graduate Faculties) at Columbia University, and Professor of Philosophy at the University of Rochester. He is the author of about fifty articles and of five philosophical books. This volume consists of essays presented to Richard Taylor on the occa sion of his sixtieth birthday. Some of the contributors have been Taylor'S students; some have been his colleagues; and all have been, and continue to be, his admirers. I have made several attempts to articulate what it is I (I would not presume to speak for anyone else) admire about Richard Taylor: (1) There is a particular 'flavor' to Taylor's philosophical writing and con versation that is wholly delightful. Like any other flavor, it can be tasted and enjoyed and remembered but never adequately described. (If there should be someone who has picked up this book who does not know what I mean, I recommend that he read the chapter on 'God' in Taylor's Metaphysics. ) (2) Taylor is a masterful dialectician.
