Semiparametric Regression (Cambridge Series in Statistical and Probabilistic Mathematics Series Number 12)

About this book

Science abounds with problems where the data are noisy and the answer is not a straight line. Semiparametric regression analysis helps make sense of such data in application areas that include engineering finance medicine and public health. The book is geared towards researchers and professionals with little background in regression as well as statistically oriented scientists (biostatisticians econometricians quantitative social scientists and epidemiologists) with knowledge of regression and the desire to begin using more flexible semiparametric models.
