It began on Freak Day—that day no one could explain, when strangers and family members alike went crazy and started biting one another. Some thought the outbreak was caused by a flu shot, others that it was a diet drug gone terribly wrong. All anyone knew is that once you were bitten and went to sleep, you woke up a freak.

Regression Analysis
Author: Jeremy Arkes
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000825566
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 515
Book Description
This thoroughly practical and engaging textbook is designed to equip students with the skills needed to undertake sound regression analysis without requiring high-level math. Regression Analysis covers the concepts needed to design optimal regression models and to properly interpret regressions. It details the most common pitfalls, including three sources of bias not covered in other textbooks. Rather than focusing on equations and proofs, the book develops an understanding of these biases visually and with examples of situations in which such biases could arise. In addition, it describes how ‘holding other factors constant’ actually works and when it does not work. This second edition features a new chapter on integrity and ethics, and has been updated throughout to include more international examples. Each chapter offers examples, exercises, and clear summaries, all of which are designed to support student learning to help towards producing responsible research. This is the textbook the author wishes he had learned from, as it would have helped him avoid many research mistakes he made in his career. It is ideal for anyone learning quantitative methods in the social sciences, business, medicine, and data analytics. It will also appeal to researchers and academics looking to better understand regressions. Additional digital supplements are available at: www.youtube.com/channel/UCenm3BWqQyXA2JRKB_QXGyw.

All or None

ISBN: 1524604801
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 397
Book Description
The Bible claims that since the creation of the world Gods invisible qualities- his eternal power and divine nature- have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made. Creation science evaluates this claim and presents scientific evidence that contradicts evolution. Since there are only two possibilities for the existence of life, becoming convinced that evolution is not true leads to a new or deeper belief in God. This is a new method to present the evolution and creation controversy in the context of a sequence of events which must all individually be evaluated to make a logical decision concerning belief in either. This unique approach with the use of logic, or common sense, leads to a personal conclusion of the most philosophic question imaginable- Is God Real?

Causality in the Sciences
Author: Phyllis Illari
Publisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191060321
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 953
Book Description
There is a need for integrated thinking about causality, probability and mechanisms in scientific methodology. Causality and probability are long-established central concepts in the sciences, with a corresponding philosophical literature examining their problems. On the other hand, the philosophical literature examining mechanisms is not long-established, and there is no clear idea of how mechanisms relate to causality and probability. But we need some idea if we are to understand causal inference in the sciences: a panoply of disciplines, ranging from epidemiology to biology, from econometrics to physics, routinely make use of probability, statistics, theory and mechanisms to infer causal relationships. These disciplines have developed very different methods, where causality and probability often seem to have different understandings, and where the mechanisms involved often look very different. This variegated situation raises the question of whether the different sciences are really using different concepts, or whether progress in understanding the tools of causal inference in some sciences can lead to progress in other sciences. The book tackles these questions as well as others concerning the use of causality in the sciences.

You are the only thing in the world you can change. And when you change, the whole world changes with you.
