Statistical Modeling and Applications

This book provides an overview and compilation of emerging topics in mathematical and statistical theories and methods, through their applications to evidence-based public health research and decision-making. Each contributor are researchers around the globe, engaged in mathematical and statistical methods and applications to present their current and cutting-edge research achievements. All chapters share their data and computing program, to promote their developed mathematical and statistical methods in association to solve real-life applications.

Evidence-based public health research and applications call for modern mathematical and statistical methods. This book covers topics in 3 parts as: 1) Mathematical Modeling, where 9 chapters are included, 2) Statistical Modelling, where 10 chapters are included, and 3) Real-World Applications, where 7 chapters are included.

Topics included, should appeal to both expert mathematicians and statisticians as well as health researchers interested in methodological applications in evidence-based health research. The book will be a resourceful manual and can be used as an authoritative reference. The features covered in this book will appeal to researchers where public health research is being rigorously conducted.
