Models for Discrete Data

Discrete or count data arise when the outcome of an experiment is the number of individuals falling into each of several distinct, non-overlapping categories. The revised text sets out the statistical models used to analyse and summarise such data.

The text is illustrated with many numerical examples throughout, which help readers apply the methods, and it goes on to cover further topics that extend the core material.

For graduate students, and for practitioners who want a refresher on the methodology, the book offers an accessible entry point to the subject.
