Emphasizes applications with a detailed, practical treatment of the modelling approach to binary data analysisIncorporates full updates to the chapters found in the first editionIncludes two completely new chapters, one on mixed models and one on exact methods for logistic regressionMaintains a practical, accessible approach that includes only the necessary mathematicsSummarizes the scope of the most useful software packages, including points to be aware of when interpreting output Since the original publication of the bestselling Modelling Binary Data, a number of important methodological and computational developments have emerged, accompanied by the steady growth of statistical computing. Mixed models for binary data analysis and procedures that lead to an exact version of logistic regression form valuable additions to the statistician's toolbox, and author Dave Collett has fully updated his popular treatise to incorporate these important advances.Modelling Binary Data, Second Edition now provides an even more comprehensive and practical guide to statistical methods for analyzing binary data. Along with thorough revisions to the original material-now independent of any particular software package- it includes a new chapter introducing mixed models for binary data analysis and another on exact methods for modelling binary data. The author has also added material on modelling ordered categorical data and provides a summary of the leading software packages.All of the data sets used in the book are available for download from the Internet, and the appendices include additional data sets useful as exercises.
