As the bestselling first edition did, this text covers some of the most commonly used techniques in computational statistics. With a strong, practical focus on implementing the methods, the authors include algorithmic descriptions of the procedures, as well as examples that illustrate the use of the algorithms in data analysis. This book offers all MATLAB® code, example files, and data sets available for download online. Using MATLAB® R2007a and the Statistics Toolbox 6.0, this edition incorporates many additional computational statistics topics, including multivariate distributions, classifiers, clustering, parametric models, and smoothers.
