Written for students and researchers in the fields of geology, biology, sociology and economics who need to employ stochastic models for applied statistics, this book covers survival analysis, hypothesis testing, regression, Markov chain Monte Carlo and Kernel density estimation. Morgan (mathematics, statistics and actuarial science, U. of Kent, UK) has expanded the second edition of this text to include more information on Bayesian methods, additional exercises and a new appendix on computational methods. A companion website offers all of the data sets found in the book as well as the MATLAB software program needed to solve these exercises.
