Abstract

Książka nawiązuje do dynamicznie rozwijającej się na całym świecie w badaniach reprezentacyjnych oraz spisach powszechnych metody kalibracji. Podjęta tematyka stanowi próbę wypełnienia dostrzegalnej luki badawczej i jest pierwszym całościowym spojrzeniem na poruszaną w niej problematykę. W polskiej literaturze przedmiotu brak jest bowiem kompleksowego opracowania poświęconego kalibracji. Ma to tym większe znaczenie, że kalibracja jako metoda estymacji będzie odgrywać w praktyce badań statystycznych coraz większą rolę. Podejście kalibracyjne przedstawiono z uwzględnieniem wieloletnich doświadczeń autora będących pokłosiem zastosowań tej techniki w praktyce badań statystycznych. Rozważono też możliwości wykorzystania tego podejścia w kontekście rozwoju statystyki publicznej w Polsce. Ukazano szeroki wachlarz zagadnień dotyczących kalibracji w badaniach z brakami odpowiedzi czy w spisach realizowanych metodą mieszaną. Analizie poddano także podejście funkcyjne w procesie wyznaczania wag kalibracyjnych, wspomagane modelem i w ujęciu hybrydowym. Prezentowana książka ma charakter metodologiczno-empiryczny, dotyczy zarówno teorii estymacji, jak i jej praktycznych zastosowań. W warstwie metodologicznej opisany został aktualny stan badań naukowych w obszarze kalibracji z uwzględnieniem szczegółowego przeglądu literatury, który może stanowić punkt wyjścia do rozważań dla innych autorów chcących zająć się prezentowaną problematyką. W warstwie empirycznej, korzystając z rzeczywistych danych pochodzących z badań realizowanych przez Główny Urząd Statystycznych, dokonano kompleksowej oceny wag i miar jakości rozważanych estymatorów kalibracyjnych oraz ich zastosowań w rynku pracy.

Abstract

"Aims to present both conventional and fuzzy regression analyses from theoretical aspects followed by application examples. The present book contains chapters originating from different scientific fields. The first deals with both crisp (conventional) linear or nonlinear regression and fuzzy linear or nonlinear regression. The application example refers to the relationship between sediment transport rates on the one hand and stream discharge and rainfall intensity on the other hand. Second chapter refers to the crisp linear or nonlinear regression of six heavy metals between different soft tissues and shells of Telescopium telescopium and its habitat surface sediments. Third describes the crisp linear, multiple linear, nonlinear and Gaussian process regressions. The fourth is confronted with a classic regression model, named Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR), which constitutes a spatial statistics method. The fifth chapter regards fuzzy linear regression based on symmetric triangular fuzzy numbers. The sixth chapter treats fuzzy linear regression based on trapezoidal membership functions. The main application of this chapter concerns the dependence of rainfall records between neighboring rainfall stations for a small sample of data. The next chapter refers to the multivariable crisp and fuzzy linear regression. The eighth chapter deals with the fuzzy linear regression, with crisp input data and fuzzy output data. All the chapters offer a proper foundation of either widely used or new techniques upon regression. Among the new techniques, several innovated fuzzy regression based methodologies are developed for real problems, and useful conclusions are drawn"--

Abstract

In water polo, two teams comprised of six outfield players and a goalkeeper compete for four quarters of 8 minutes' real play in a playing area of 30x20m. Each team has 30 seconds to complete an action. A frequent situation thought to be very significant to the final result of a match is the extra-man play action. After a major foul a player is sent out of play for 20 seconds. The attacking team, with a series of passes and player movements must quickly try to disrupt the defence and enable a shot. And defence has to work on coordination of movement between players so that the attack finds it difficult to score too easily. Coaches dedicate a lot of time to training their team to attack and defend in an extra-man situation. This paper investigates the issue of extra-man play actions in detail. A study is performed into data from the 2020 European men's water polo championships, whose aim is to identify whether man-up play actions have any elements that lead to a good shot, meaning a ball in the goal even if it is saved. Several characteristics were recorded on each extra-man play action, but only few of them seem to influence its outcome. This may be explained by the fact that the outcome of a play action is not only linked to the execution of a strategy, but it is influenced by factors which may not all be measured.

Abstract

Now in its second edition, this textbook provides an applied and unified introduction to parametric, nonparametric and semiparametric regression that closes the gap between theory and application. The most important models and methods in regression are presented on a solid formal basis, and their appropriate application is shown through numerous examples and case studies. The most important definitions and statements are concisely summarized in boxes, and the underlying data sets and code are available online on the book’s dedicated website. Availability of (user-friendly) software has been a major criterion for the methods selected and presented.The chapters address the classical linear model and its extensions, generalized linear models, categorical regression models, mixed models, nonparametric regression, structured additive regression, quantile regression and distributional regression models. Two appendices describe the required matrix algebra, as well as elements of probability calculus and statistical inference.In this substantially revised and updated new edition the overview on regression models has been extended, and now includes the relation between regression models and machine learning, additional details on statistical inference in structured additive regression models have been added and a completely reworked chapter augments the presentation of quantile regression with a comprehensive introduction to distributional regression models. Regularization approaches are now more extensively discussed in most chapters of the book.The book primarily targets an audience that includes students, teachers and practitioners in social, economic, and life sciences, as well as students and teachers in statistics programs, and mathematicians and computer scientists with interests in statistical modeling and data analysis. It is written at an intermediate mathematical level and assumes only knowledge of basic probability, calculus, matrix algebra and statistics.
