Michael Smithson & Yiyun Shou 
Generalized Linear Models for Bounded and Limited Quantitative Variables [PDF ebook] 

поддержка

This book introduces researchers and students to the concepts and generalized linear models for analyzing quantitative random variables that have one or more bounds. Examples of bounded variables include the percentage of a population eligible to vote (bounded from 0 to 100), or reaction time in milliseconds (bounded below by 0). The human sciences deal in many variables that are bounded. Ignoring bounds can result in misestimation and improper statistical inference. Michael Smithson and Yiyun Shou′s book brings together material on the analysis of limited and bounded variables that is scattered across the literature in several disciplines, and presents it in a style that is both more accessible and up-to-date. The authors provide worked examples in each chapter using real datasets from a variety of disciplines. The software used for the examples include R, SAS, and Stata. The data, software code, and detailed explanations of the example models are available on an accompanying website.

Об авторе

Dr Yiyun Shou is a research fellow in the Research School of Psychology at The Australian National University. She received her Ph D degree in psychology in 2015, and was recently awarded an Australian Research Council Discovery Early Career Award (2018 — 2021). She is active in research in the areas of understanding measurement issues in psychology and developing new quantitative methods. She also conducts extensive research in judgment and decision making under uncertainty, and cross-cultural psychological assessments. She has publications in a number of respected international outlets for measurement and quantitative psychology such as Journal of Statistical Software, British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, Psychometrika and Psychological Assessment.
