Generalized Linear Models for Categorical and Continuous Limited Dependent Variables

Generalized Linear Models for Categorical and Continuous Limited Dependent Variables

Generalized Linear Models for Categorical and Continuous Limited Dependent Variables is designed for graduate students and researchers in the behavioral social health and medical sciences. It incorporates examples of truncated counts censored continuous variables and doubly bounded continuous variables such as percentages. The book provides broad but unified coverage and the authors integrate the concepts and ideas shared across models and types of data especially regarding conceptual links between discrete and continuous limited dependent variables. The authors argue that these dependent variables are if anything more common throughout the human sciences than the kind that suit linear regression. They cover special cases or extensions of models estimation methods model diagnostics and of course software. They also discuss bounded continuous variables boundary-inflated models and methods for modeling heteroscedasticity. Wherever possible the authors have illustrated concepts models and techniques with real or realistic datasets and demonstrations in R and Stata and each chapter includes several exercises at the end. The illustrations and exercises help readers build conceptual understanding and fluency in using these techniques. At several points the authors bring together material that has been previously scattered across the literature in journal articles software package documentation files and blogs. These features help students learn to choose the appropriate models for their purpose.

AI for Arts

AI for Arts

AI for Arts is a book for anyone fascinated by the man–machine connection an unstoppable evolution that is intertwining us with technology in an ever-greater degree and where there is an increasing concern that it will be technology that comes out on top. Thus presented here through perhaps its most esoteric form namely art this unfolding conundrum is brought to its apex. What is left of us humans if artificial intelligence also surpasses us when it comes to art? The articulation of an artificial intelligence art manifesto is long overdue so hopefully this book can fill a gap that will have repercussions not only for aesthetic and philosophical considerations but possibly more so for the development of artificial intelligence.
