Multivariate Analysemethoden: Eine anwendungsorientierte Einführung
by Klaus Backhaus Bernd Erichson Wulff Plinke Rolf WeiberDieses Lehrbuch behandelt neun grundlegende Verfahren der multivariaten Datenanalyse in ausführlicher Weise. Dies sind die:- Regressionsanalyse- Zeitreihenanalyse- Varianzanalyse- Diskriminanzanalyse- Logistische Regression- Kontingenzanalyse- Faktorenanalyse- Clusteranalyse und- Conjoint-Analyse. Das Buch stellt geringstmögliche Anforderungen an mathematische Vorkenntnisse und bietet eine allgemein verständliche Darstellung anhand eines für alle Methoden verwendeten Fallbeispiels unter Verwendung von IBM SPSS für Windows. Die Autoren legen Wert auf konsequente Anwendungsorientierung und vollständige Nachvollziehbarkeit der zentralen Rechenoperationen durch den Leser. Jedes Verfahren kann unabhängig für sich durchgeführt werden. Ein besonderes Augenmerk liegt auf dem Aufzeigen von methodenbedingten Manipulationsspielräumen. Darüber hinaus werden jeweils in Form einer kurzen Einführung die Problemstellungen und Vorgehensweisen von sieben weiteren Verfahren (Nichtlineare Regression, Strukturgleichungsmodelle, Konfirmatorische Faktorenanalyse, Neuronale Netze, Multidimensionale Skalierung, Korrespondenzanalyse und Auswahlbasierte Conjoint-Analyse) dargestellt. Diese werden in dem vertiefenden Band „Fortgeschrittene Multivariate Analyseverfahren“ ausführlich behandelt. Der vorliegende Band richtet sich primär an die Zielgruppe der Bachelor-Studierenden aller Fachrichtungen. Die Beispiele sind zwar aus dem Marketing-Bereich entnommen, die Darstellungen aber so einfach gehalten, dass die Verfahren sich leicht auf spezifische Fragen und Probleme in den unterschiedlichsten Anwendungsfeldern übertragen lassen.

Multivariate Analysemethoden: Eine anwendungsorientierte Einführung (Springer-Lehrbuch)
by Klaus Backhaus Bernd Erichson Wulff Plinke Rolf WeiberMit der 12. Auflage des bewährten Lehrbuchs legen wir eine neue Konzeption vor. Wir haben den methodischen Inhalt erweitert, ohne die bisherigen Verfahren einzuschränken oder zu verdrängen. Da die Erweiterung das Buch jedoch nicht mehr handhabbar macht, haben wir uns entschieden, den Leserinnen und Lesern einen zweigeteilten Weg des Zugangs zu den verschiedenen Methoden zu verschaffen. Das neue Angebot besteht neben dem Buch mit den bewährten Verfahren im Zugang zu einer Internetplattform. Das Buch umfasst die „grundlegenden Verfahren der muen Analysemethoden" in ihrer bewährten Form sowie jeweils eine kurze ltivariatEinführung in die verschiedenen „komplexen Verfahren der multivariaten Analyse". Die Plattform gewährleistet den Zugang zu den komplexen Verfahren im Detail. Wir schaffen damit eine Erweiterung des Angebots bei gleichzeitiger Möglichkeit eines selektiven Zugangs zu den tatsächlich benötigten Verfahren. Die Fallbeispiele sind mit SPSS 16.0 gerechnet.

Multivariate Statistical Methods: A First Course
by George A. Marcoulides Scott L. HershbergerMultivariate statistics refer to an assortment of statistical methods that have been developed to handle situations in which multiple variables or measures are involved. Any analysis of more than two variables or measures can loosely be considered a multivariate statistical analysis. An introductory text for students learning multivariate statistical methods for the first time, this book keeps mathematical details to a minimum while conveying the basic principles. One of the principal strategies used throughout the book--in addition to the presentation of actual data analyses--is pointing out the analogy between a common univariate statistical technique and the corresponding multivariate method. Many computer examples--drawing on SAS software --are used as demonstrations. Throughout the book, the computer is used as an adjunct to the presentation of a multivariate statistical method in an empirically oriented approach. Basically, the model adopted in this book is to first present the theory of a multivariate statistical method along with the basic mathematical computations necessary for the analysis of data. Subsequently, a real world problem is discussed and an example data set is provided for analysis. Throughout the presentation and discussion of a method, many references are made to the computer, output are explained, and exercises and examples with real data are included.

Multiway Contingency Tables Analysis for the Social Sciences
by Thomas D. WickensThis book describes the principles and techniques needed to analyze data that form a multiway contingency table. Wickens discusses the description of association in such data using log-linear and log-multiplicative models and defines how the presence of association is tested using hypotheses of independence and quasi-independence. The application of the procedures to real data is then detailed. This volume does not presuppose prior experience or knowledge of statistics beyond basic courses in fundamentals of probability and statistical inference. It serves as an ideal reference for professionals or as a textbook for graduate or advanced undergraduate students involved in statistics in the social sciences.

Born out of personal pain and tragedy, this story will lead you to the birth of DrugFAM . . . It is truly inspiring and wonderful what has been and continues to be achieved through this story.' - Sir Anthony Seldon, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Buckingham'I would urge all parents, teachers and pupils to read this heart-rending book.' - FT Magazine'A book that is moving and ultimately, inspiring.' - Waterstones Books QuarterlyElizabeth Burton Phillips was a teacher, an ordinary mother who had always tried to do the best for her children; she never imagined that her identical twin sons, who had been doing so well at school, would become involved in drugs. She was shocked when they were suspended from school for smoking cannabis; but this was just the start of a terrible descent into personal and family heartbreak. The painful journey ended in the way Elizabeth had always dreaded - a knock on the door in the middle of the night by the police. They gave her the devastating news that her son Nick had killed himself in despair at his heroin addiction. Since his death, Elizabeth has campaigned tirelessly to make parents aware of the pain and suffering caused to families by drug addiction; and her surviving twin, Simon, now drug-free, has contributed his own thoughts to this inspiring and gut-wrenching story that will shake every reader to the core.This new edition brings Elizabeth's story up to date, sharing the inspiring achievements of the author - awarded an MBE in the Queen's 2017 Honours List - and her charity DrugFAM, giving hope to families impacted by addiction.

Munchausen by Proxy and Other Factitious Abuse: Practical and Forensic Investigative Techniques (Practical Aspects of Criminal and Forensic Investigations)
by Kathryn ArtingstallThis book covers Munchausen and Munchausen by Proxy (MBP) though the terms have recently changed. The 2013 DSM-V—the update to the American Psychiatric Association's (APA) diagnostic and classification tool—has classified both Munchausen and MBP as "Factitious Systematic Abuse." While thought to have occurred primarily with children and their caregivers, recent research shows a more widespread problem: such medical abuse to spouses, the disabled, the elderly—even pets. Many involve repeat and long-term instances of hospital and medical fraud. This book covers the syndrome itself, interviewing and investigative aspects, victimology, as well indicators in the event of homicide and death.

Murder and Society
by Peter MorrallHuman psychological and physical well-being is damaged and destroyed when people are deliberately killed by other people. There are millions of primary and secondary victims of murder throughout the world, and human society as a whole is a tertiary victim of murder. Despite this, people are often fascinated and engrossed by stories of homicide and killers. This book provides a fascinating exploration of murder, providing an insight into what leads people to kill and what effect this has on society as a whole. This book is organized into five chapters that each answer a specific question on murder: What is Murder? Who Commits Murder? Why Commit Murder? Why is Murder Devastating? Why is Murder Fascinating?
