Download or read book Applied Discriminant Analysis written by Carl J. Huberty and published by Wiley-Interscience. This book was released on 1994-08-11 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most books on discriminant analysis focus on statistical theory. But properly applied, discriminant analysis methods can be enormously useful in the interpretation of data. This book is the first ever to offer a complete introduction to discriminant analysis that focuses on applications. It provides numerous examples, explained in great detail, using current statistical discriminant analysis algorithms. It also develops several themes that will be useful to researchers and students regardless of the analytical methods they employ. They are the careful examination of data prior to final analysis; the application of critical judgment and common sense to all analyses and interpretations; and conducting multiple analyses as a matter of routine. To encourage and enable readers to conduct multiple analyses of their data, the accompanying diskette contains the four complete data sets and five special computer programs that are referred to repeatedly in the text and are the subjects of numerous exercise problems. This enables the reader to carry out package analyses on the data sets using a variety of procedural options both within and across computer packages. The term "discriminant analysis" means different things to different people. For statisticians and researchers in the physical sciences, it usually denotes the process through which group membership is predicted on the basis of multiple predictor variables. Behavioral scientists, on the other hand, often use discriminant analysis to describe group differences across multiple response variables. Though closely related, predictive discriminant analysis (PDA) and descriptive discriminant analysis (DDA) are used for different purposes and should be approached in different ways. To accentuate these differences and distinguish clearly between the two, Applied Discriminant Analysis presents these topics separately. For graduate students, this book will expand your background in multivariate data analysis methods and facilitate both the reading and the conducting of applied empirical research. It will also be of great use to experienced researchers who wish to enhance or update their quantitative background, and to methodologists who want to learn more about the details of applied discriminant data analysis, and some still unresolved problems, as well.

This book was released on 2021-07-23 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The desire to know the unknown has always been one of the human characteristics that distinguish humans from other living things on the earth. The past is known but cannot be changed, and hence is if no interest. The present is happening and everyone is witnessing it and therefore it is not exciting. But the future is both unknown and perhaps therefore uncertain, and is therefore both interesting and exciting. Using past experience for predicting the unknown future was initially treated as an art because it require careful choice of parts of the past that will make prediction both easy and accurate, and there were times when it was felt that it is impossible to formulate a method for this. Prediction was then not considered to be scientific empirical sciences that learn from scientist and professionals realized the scientific nature of the ability to predict. What then began as the preparation for developing a prediction formula involved finding common patterns in past data and their consequences so that the consequence can be predicted as soon as the relevant pattern is observed. At the same time the discipline of statistics developed the concept and methodology for building statistical models. With experience in the development and applications of different models, scientists and researchers identify models as belonging to four different classes namely, the class of descriptive models, the class of diagnostic models, the class of predictive models, and the class of prescriptive or prognostic models. The scientific or theoretical activity of building models and analyzing data accordingly is known as analytics. It has therefore been recognized that there are four classes of analytics, namely descriptive analytics, diagnostic analytics, prescriptive analytics and predictive analytics. These four classes are defined briefly for convenience of the reader.

Download or read book Statistical Techniques for Bankruptcy Prediction written by Volodymyr Perederiy and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2015-05-22 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2005 in the subject Business economics - Accounting and Taxes, grade: 1,0, European University Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder), course: International Business Administration, language: English, abstract: Bankruptcy prediction has become during the past 3 decades a matter of ever rising academic interest and intensive research. This is due to the academic appeal of the problem, combined with its importance in practical applications. The practical importance of bankruptcy prediction models grew recently even more, with “Basle-II” regulations, which were elaborated by Basle Committee on Banking Supervision to enhance the stability of international financial system. These regulations oblige financial institutions and banks to estimate the probability of default of their obligors. There exist some fundamental economic theory to base bankruptcy prediction models on, but this typically relies on stock market prices of companies under consideration. These prices are, however, only available for large public listed companies. Models for private firms are therefore empirical in their nature and have to rely on rigorous statistical analysis of all available information for such firms. In 95% of cases, this information is limited to accounting information from the financial statements. Large databases of financial statements (e.g. Compustat in the USA) are maintained and often available for research purposes. Accounting information is particularly important for bankruptcy prediction models in emerging markets. This is because the capital markets in these countries are often underdeveloped and illiquid and don’t deliver sufficient stock market data, even for public/listed companies, for structural models to be applied. The accounting information is normally summarized in so-called financial ratios. Such ratios (e.g. leverage ratio, calculated as Debt to Total Assets of a company) have a long tradition in accounting analysis. Many of these ratios are believed to reflect the financial health of a company and to be related to the bankruptcy. However, these beliefs are often very vague (e.g. leverages above 70% might provoke a bankruptcy) and subjective. Quantitative bankruptcy prediction models objectify these beliefs in that they apply statistical techniques to the accounting data. [...]

Download or read book An Introduction to Statistical Learning written by Gareth James and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-08-01 with total page 617 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Introduction to Statistical Learning provides an accessible overview of the field of statistical learning, an essential toolset for making sense of the vast and complex data sets that have emerged in fields ranging from biology to finance, marketing, and astrophysics in the past twenty years. This book presents some of the most important modeling and prediction techniques, along with relevant applications. Topics include linear regression, classification, resampling methods, shrinkage approaches, tree-based methods, support vector machines, clustering, deep learning, survival analysis, multiple testing, and more. Color graphics and real-world examples are used to illustrate the methods presented. This book is targeted at statisticians and non-statisticians alike, who wish to use cutting-edge statistical learning techniques to analyze their data. Four of the authors co-wrote An Introduction to Statistical Learning, With Applications in R (ISLR), which has become a mainstay of undergraduate and graduate classrooms worldwide, as well as an important reference book for data scientists. One of the keys to its success was that each chapter contains a tutorial on implementing the analyses and methods presented in the R scientific computing environment. However, in recent years Python has become a popular language for data science, and there has been increasing demand for a Python-based alternative to ISLR. Hence, this book (ISLP) covers the same materials as ISLR but with labs implemented in Python. These labs will be useful both for Python novices, as well as experienced users.

Download or read book An Introduction to Applied Multivariate Analysis with R written by Brian Everitt and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-04-23 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The majority of data sets collected by researchers in all disciplines are multivariate, meaning that several measurements, observations, or recordings are taken on each of the units in the data set. These units might be human subjects, archaeological artifacts, countries, or a vast variety of other things. In a few cases, it may be sensible to isolate each variable and study it separately, but in most instances all the variables need to be examined simultaneously in order to fully grasp the structure and key features of the data. For this purpose, one or another method of multivariate analysis might be helpful, and it is with such methods that this book is largely concerned. Multivariate analysis includes methods both for describing and exploring such data and for making formal inferences about them. The aim of all the techniques is, in general sense, to display or extract the signal in the data in the presence of noise and to find out what the data show us in the midst of their apparent chaos. An Introduction to Applied Multivariate Analysis with R explores the correct application of these methods so as to extract as much information as possible from the data at hand, particularly as some type of graphical representation, via the R software. Throughout the book, the authors give many examples of R code used to apply the multivariate techniques to multivariate data.
