En este libro se ofrece al lector un análisis de la emigración exterior española, dibujando un esquema amplio. Se recoge bastante exhaustivamente la descripción, fundamentalmente estadística, del fenomeno migratorio. Al mismo tiempo, se ha tenido en cuenta una multiplicidad de contextos y factores explicativos de la emigracion exterior española, que es fundamentalmente una emigracion para el retorno. La mayor parte del libro tiene presente la vocacion del retorno del emigrante. Esta circunstancia explica muchos comportamientos, incluido el de la politica migratoria de los distintos paises.

La obra presenta 12 temas que corresponden a las técnicas estadísticas multivariantes más clásicas y de mayor uso e interés no sólo académico sino profesional y de investigación. En cada tema se desarrolla la explicacion matematico-estadistica, se ofrecen unos ejemplos calculados paso a paso y con detalle y, por ultimo, se exponen dos programas informaticos (SPSS y PROGSTAD) con los que se pueden solucionar y obtener los resultados estadisticos de cada tecnica. Es, sin duda, un libro novedoso, que conjuga la estadistica y la informatica de modo que resulte practico, util y de facil comprension.

El presente libro es un curso introductorio para quienes se inician en el aprendizaje de la estadística, materia que cada día se hace más necesaria en la actividad del hombre actual. El método de exposicion que ofrece Estadistica elemental permite al alumno la comprension cabal de cada capitulo; por otra parte, ejemplos y ejercicios conjuntan diferentes areas, a fin de manifestar la util versatilidad de los metodos basicos que se estudian. Los fines que persigue el autor son: motivar el aprendizaje completo de la estadistica y continuar en el proceso respectivo, conforme se avanza en la lectura del texto.

In an age of big data, data journalism and with a wealth of quantitative information around us, it is not enough for students to be taught only 100 year old statistical methods using 'out of the box' software. They need to have 21st-century analytical skills too. This is an excellent and student-friendly text from two of the world leaders in the teaching and development of spatial analysis. It shows clearly why the open source software R is not just an alternative to commercial GIS, it may actually be the better choice for mapping, analysis and for replicable research. Providing practical tips as well as fully working code, this is a practical 'how to' guide ideal for undergraduates as well as those using R for the first time. It will be required reading on my own courses." - Richard Harris, Professor of Quantitative Social Science, University of Bristol R is a powerful open source computing tool that supports geographical analysis and mapping for the many geography and `non-geography' students and researchers interested in spatial analysis and mapping. This book provides an introduction to the use of R for spatial statistical analysis, geocomputation and the analysis of geographical information for researchers collecting and using data with location attached, largely through increased GPS functionality. Brunsdon and Comber take readers from `zero to hero' in spatial analysis and mapping through functions they have developed and compiled into R packages. This enables practical R applications in GIS, spatial analyses, spatial statistics, mapping, and web-scraping. Each chapter includes: Example data and commands for exploring itScripts and coding to exemplify specific functionalityAdvice for developing greater understanding - through functions such as locator(), View(), and alternative coding to achieve the same ends Self-contained exercises for students to work throughEmbedded code within the descriptive text. This is a definitive 'how to' that takes students - of any discipline - from coding to actual applications and uses of R.

Covers the substantial advances that have taken place in the field during the last 15 years, including vine copula modeling of high-dimensional data. Vine copula models are constructed from a sequence of bivariate copulas. The book develops generalizations of vine copula models, including common and structured factor models that extend from the Gaussian assumption to copulas. It also discusses other multivariate constructions and parametric copula families that have different tail properties and presents extensive material on dependence and tail properties to assist in copula model selection.The author shows how numerical methods and algorithms for inference and simulation are important in high-dimensional copula applications. He presents the algorithms as pseudocode, illustrating their implementation for high-dimensional copula models. He also incorporates results to determine dependence and tail properties of multivariate distributions for future constructions of copula models.

Longitudinal studies often incur several problems that challenge standard statistical methods for data analysis. These problems include non-ignorable missing data in longitudinal measurements of one or more response variables, informative observation times of longitudinal data, and survival analysis with intermittently measured time-dependent covariates that are subject to measurement error and/or substantial biological variation. Joint modeling of longitudinal and time-to-event data has emerged as a novel approach to handle these issues. Joint Modeling of Longitudinal and Time-to-Event Data provides a systematic introduction and review of state-of-the-art statistical methodology in this active research field. The methods are illustrated by real data examples from a wide range of clinical research topics. A collection of data sets and software for practical implementation of the joint modeling methodologies are available through the book website. This book serves as a reference book for scientific investigators who need to analyze longitudinal and/or survival data, as well as researchers developing methodology in this field. It may also be used as a textbook for a graduate level course in biostatistics or statistics.
