Mixed Effects Models for Complex Data

Mixed Effects Models for Complex Data

Although standard mixed effects models are useful in a range of studies other approaches must often be used in correlation with them when studying complex or incomplete data. Mixed Effects Models for Complex Data discusses commonly used mixed effects models and presents appropriate approaches to address dropouts missing data measurement errors censoring and outliers. For each class of mixed effects model the author reviews the corresponding class of regression model for cross-sectional data. An overview of general models and methods along with motivating examples After presenting real data examples and outlining general approaches to the analysis of longitudinal/clustered data and incomplete data the book introduces linear mixed effects (LME) models generalized linear mixed models (GLMMs) nonlinear mixed effects (NLME) models and semiparametric and nonparametric mixed effects models. It also includes general approaches for the analysis of complex data with missing values measurement errors censoring and outliers. Self-contained coverage of specific topicsSubsequent chapters delve more deeply into missing data problems covariate measurement errors and censored responses in mixed effects models. Focusing on incomplete data the book also covers survival and frailty models joint models of survival and longitudinal data robust methods for mixed effects models marginal generalized estimating equation (GEE) models for longitudinal or clustered data and Bayesian methods for mixed effects models. Background materialIn the appendix the author provides background information such as likelihood theory the Gibbs sampler rejection and importance sampling methods numerical integration methods optimization methods bootstrap and matrix algebra.

Mixed-Mode Official Surveys Design and Analysis

Mixed-Mode Official Surveys Design and Analysis

Mixed-mode surveys have become a standard at many statistical institutes. However the introduction of multiple modes in one design goes with challenges to both methodology and logistics. Mode-specific representation and measurement differences become explicit and demand for solutions in data collection design questionnaire design and estimation. This is especially true when surveys are repeated and are input to long time series of official statistics. So how can statistical institutes deal with such changes? What are the origins of mode-specific error? And how can they be dealt with? In this book the authors provide answers to these questions and much more. Features Concise introduction to all the key elements of mixed-mode survey design and analysis Realistic official statistics examples from three general population surveys Suitable for survey managers and survey statisticians alike An overview of mode-specific representation and measurement errors and how to avoid reduce and adjust them. | Mixed-Mode Official Surveys Design and Analysis

Mixed Towns Trapped Communities Historical Narratives Spatial Dynamics Gender Relations and Cultural Encounters in Palestinian-Israeli Towns

Mixed Towns Trapped Communities Historical Narratives Spatial Dynamics Gender Relations and Cultural Encounters in Palestinian-Israeli Towns

Modern urban spaces are by definition mixed socio-spatial configurations. In many ways their enduring success and vitality lie in the richness of their ethnic texture and ongoing exchange of economic goods cultural practices political ideas and social movements. This mixture however is rarely harmonious and has often led to violent conflict over land and identity. Focusing on mixed towns in Israel/Palestine this insightful volume theorizes the relationship between modernity and nationalism and the social dynamics which engender and characterize the growth of urban spaces and the emergence therein of inter-communal relations. For more than a century Arabs and Jews have been interacting in the workplaces residential areas commercial enterprises cultural arenas and political theatres of mixed towns. Defying prevailing Manichean oppositions these towns both exemplify and resist the forces of nationalist segregation. In this interdisciplinary volume a new generation of Israeli and Palestinian scholars come together to explore ways in which these towns have been perceived as utopian or dystopian and whether they are best conceptualized as divided dual or colonial. Identifying ethnically mixed towns as a historically specific analytic category this volume calls for further research comparison and debate. | Mixed Towns Trapped Communities Historical Narratives Spatial Dynamics Gender Relations and Cultural Encounters in Palestinian-Israeli Towns

A Study of Mixed Legal Systems: Endangered Entrenched or Blended

A Study of Mixed Legal Systems: Endangered Entrenched or Blended

A Study of Mixed Legal Systems: Endangered Entrenched or Blended takes the reader on a fascinating voyage of discovery. It includes case studies of a number of systems from across the globe: Cyprus Guyana Jersey Mauritius Philippines Quebec St Lucia Scotland and Seychelles. Each combines its legal legacies in novel ways. Large and small in Europe and beyond some are sovereign some part of larger political units. Some are monolingual some bilingual some multilingual. Along with an analytical introduction and conclusion the chapters explore the manner in which the elements of these mixed systems may be seen to be ’entrenched’ ’endangered’ or ’blended’. It explores how this process of legal change happens questions whether some systems are at greater risk than others and details the strategies that have been adopted to accelerate or counteract change. The studies involve consideration of the colourful histories of the jurisdictions of their complex relationships to parent legal systems and traditions and of language legal education and legal actors. The volume also considers whether the experiences of these systems can tell us something about legal mixtures and movements generally. Indeed the volume will be helpful both for scholars and students with a special interest in mixed legal systems as well as anyone interested in comparative law and legal history in the diversity and dynamism of law.

The New Tenement Residences in the Inner City Since 1970

The New Tenement Residences in the Inner City Since 1970

This book examines new tenements—dense medium-rise multi-storey residences that have been the backbone of European inner-city regeneration since the 1970s and came with a new positive view on urban living. Focusing principally on Berlin Copenhagen Glasgow Rotterdam and Vienna it relates architectural design to an evolving intellectual framework that mixed anti-modernist criticism with nostalgic images and strategic goals and absorbed ideas about the city as a generator of creativity locale of democratic debate and object of personal identification. This book analyses new tenements in the context of the post-functionalist city and its mixed-use neighbourhoods redeveloped industrial sites and regenerated waterfronts. It demonstrates that these buildings are both generators and outcome of an urban environment characterised by information exchange rather than industrial production individual expression rather than mass culture visible history rather than comprehensive renewal and conspicuous difference rather than egalitarianism. It also shows that new tenements evolved under a welfare state that all over Europe has come under pressure but still to a certain degree balances and controls heterogeneity and economic disparities. | The New Tenement Residences in the Inner City Since 1970
