Computational Statistics Second Edition by Geof H. Givens And Jennifer A. Hoeting

This textbook for graduate and advanced undergraduate students presents the theory of matrix algebra for statistical applications, explores various types of matrices encountered in statistics, and covers numerical linear algebra. Matrix algebra is one of the most important areas of mathematics in data science and in statistical theory, and the second edition of this very popular textbook provides essential updates and comprehensive coverage on critical topics in mathematics in data science and in statistical theory.

The volume provides a review of statistical development and application in the area of human genomics, including candidate gene mapping, linkage analysis, population-based genome-wide association, exon sequencing, and whole genome sequencing analysis. The authors are extremely experienced in the field of statistical genomics and will give a detailed introduction to the evolution of the field, as well as critical comments on the advantages and disadvantages of the proposed statistical models. The future directions of translational biology will also be described.

Designed to help motivate the learning of advanced calculus by demonstrating its relevance in the field of statistics, this successful text features detailed coverage of optimization techniques and their applications in statistics while introducing the reader to approximation theory. The Second Edition provides substantial new coverage of the material, including three new chapters and a large appendix that contains solutions to almost all of the exercises in the book. Applications of some of these methods in statistics are discusses.
