This textbook continues to cover a range of techniques that grow from the linear regression model. It presents three extensions to the linear framework: GLMs, mixed effect models, and nonparametric regression models. The book explains data analysis using real examples and includes all the R commands necessary to reproduce the analyses.Start Analyzing a Wide Range of ProblemsSince the publication of the bestselling, highly recommended first edition, R has considerably expanded both in popularity and in the number of packages available. Extending the Linear Model with R: Generalized Linear, Mixed Effects and Nonparametric Regression Models, Second Edition takes advantage of the greater functionality now available in R and substantially revises and adds several topics.New to the Second Edition-> Expanded coverage of binary and binomial responses, including proportion responses, quasibinomial and beta regression, and applied considerations regarding these models-> New sections on Poisson models with dispersion, zero inflated count models, linear discriminant analysis, and sandwich and robust estimation for generalized linear models (GLMs)-> Revised chapters on random effects and repeated measures that reflect changes in the lme4 package and show how to perform hypothesis testing for the models using other methods-> New chapter on the Bayesian analysis of mixed effect models that illustrates the use of STAN and presents the approximation method of INLA-> Revised chapter on generalized linear mixed models to reflect the much richer choice of fitting software now available-> Updated coverage of splines and confidence bands in the chapter on nonparametric regression-> New material on random forests for regression and classification-> Revamped R code throughout, particularly the many plots using the ggplot2 package-> Revised and expanded exercises with solutions now included-> Demonstrates the Interplay of Theory and PracticeFeatures-> Provides readers with an up-to-date, well-stocked toolbox of statistical methodologies-> Includes numerous real examples that illustrate the use of R for data analysis-> Covers GLM diagnostics, generalized linear mixed models, trees, and the use of neural networks in statistics-> Reviews linear models as well as the basics of using R-> Offers the datasets and other material on the author’s website
