The fifth edition of Analysis of Correlated Data with SAS and R provides cutting-edge methodologies for analysing clustered and correlated data, incorporating new topics and advancements in statistical modelling and machine learning. This updated edition introduces five new topics, are: (1) simultaneous testing of equality of correlated means and variances. (2) Beta binomial regression model for the analysis of binomial data with over dispersion. (3) modelling count data with inflated zero class, and zero truncated data. (4) analysis of multivariate time series. (5) network meta-analysis. Additionally, a new chapter on integrating statistical methods with machine learning algorithms offers deeper insights into biomedical data analysis. With extensive examples, real-world datasets, and practical codes for R and SAS, this book equips readers with the tools to master advanced data analytics. Designed for researchers, students, and professionals in biostatistics, biomedical data analysis, and applied statistics, this book is ideal for those seeking to enhance their understanding of computing as an essential part of the practice of statistics and machine learning. It is particularly suited for individuals using R or SAS for data analysis and reporting. Key FeaturesExtensive examples to illustrate methodologies. Focus on data analytics of clustered data whether the clusters are due to natural sampling process or over time repeated measures dataSubstantial library of Excel datasets for practical application. Detailed R and SAS codes to demonstrate data analysis techniques.
