Modeling Techniques

This book provides a comprehensive overview of essential statistical concepts and techniques critical for data analysis, modeling, and decision-making across various domains. It covers a range of statistical tools, including non-parametric tests such as goodness of fit, independence tests, and comparison tests like Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney, which are instrumental in analyzing data when parametric assumptions are not met. Linear modeling concepts, such as linear estimation theory, Gauss-Markov models, estimable functions, error variance estimation, and properties of least square estimators, are discussed in detail, highlighting their significance in modeling relationships between variables and estimating parameters accurately. Stochastic models, encompassing one-way and two-way classifications, fixed, random, and mixed effects models, are explored for their ability to capture randomness and variability in data, particularly in experimental designs and categorical data analysis. Additionally, the abstract delves into analysis of variance (ANOVA), Design of Experiment (DOE), and multivariate analysis techniques, providing insights into analyzing group differences.
