Complex multivariate testing problems are frequently encountered inmany scientific disciplines, such as engineering, medicine and thesocial sciences. As a result, modern statistics needs permutationtesting for complex data with low sample size and many variables,especially in observational studies.
The Authors give a general overview on permutation tests with afocus on recent theoretical advances within univariate andmultivariate complex permutation testing problems, this book bringsthe reader completely up to date with today's currentthinking.
Key Features:
* Examines the most up-to-date methodologies of univariate andmultivariate permutation testing.
* Includes extensive software codes in MATLAB, R and SAS,featuring worked examples, and uses real case studies from bothexperimental and observational studies.
* Includes a standalone free software NPC Test Release 10 with agraphical interface which allows practitioners from everyscientific field to easily implement almost all complex testingprocedures included in the book.
* Presents and discusses solutions to the most important andfrequently encountered real problems in multivariate analyses.
* A supplementary website containing all of the data setsexamined in the book along with ready to use software codes.
Together with a wide set of application cases, the Authorspresent a thorough theory of permutation testing both with formaldescription and proofs, and analysing real case studies.Practitioners and researchers, working in different scientificfields such as engineering, biostatistics, psychology or medicinewill benefit from this book.
