This brilliantly structured and comprehensive volume provides exhaustive explanations of the concepts and philosophy of statistical modeling, together with a wide range of practical and numerical examples.

Statistical modeling is a critical tool in scientific research. Statistical models are used to understand phenomena with uncertainty and to determine the structure of complex systems and to control such systems, as well as to make reliable predictions in various natural and social science fields. This book provides comprehensive explanations of the concepts and philosophy of statistical modeling, together with a wide range of practical and numerical examples. We hope that this book will be of great value not just to statisticians but also to researchers and practitioners in various fields of research such as information science, computer science, engineering, bioinformatics, economics, marketing and environmental science.

With the development of modeling techniques, it has been required to construct model selection criteria, relaxing the assumptions imposed AIC and BIC Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
