However, analysis of this type of data has many unique complications due to how they are collected, processed and types of questions that can be answered. This book covers many important topics related to using EHR\/EMR data for research including data extraction, cleaning, processing, analysis, inference, and predictions based on many years of practical experience of the authors. The book carefully evaluates and compares the standard statistical models and approaches with those of machine learning and deep learning methods and reports the unbiased comparison results for these methods in predicting clinical outcomes based on the EHR data.   Key Features:          Written based on hands-on experience of contributors from multidisciplinary EHR research projects, which include methods and approaches from statistics, computing, informatics, data science and clinical\/epidemiological domains.       Documents the detailed experience on EHR data extraction, cleaning and preparation       Provides a broad view of statistical approaches and machine learning prediction models to deal with the challenges and limitations of EHR data.       Considers the complete cycle of EHR data analysis.  The use of EHR\/EMR analysis requires close collaborations between statisticians, informaticians, data scientists and clinical\/epidemiological investigators. This book reflects that multidisciplinary perspective.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51001635307793,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51001638125841,"sku":"NIN9780367638399","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52483691446545,"sku":"NLS9780367638399","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0367638398.jpg?v=1751324665"},{"product_id":"nonparametric-regression-methods-for-longitudinal-data-analysis-book-hulin-wu-9780471483502","title":"Nonparametric Regression Methods for Longitudinal Data Analysis","description":"Incorporates mixed-effects modeling techniques for more powerful and efficient methods    This book presents current and effective nonparametric regression techniques for longitudinal data analysis and systematically investigates the incorporation of mixed-effects modeling techniques into various nonparametric regression models. The authors emphasize modeling ideas and inference methodologies, although some theoretical results for the justification of the proposed methods are presented.    With its logical structure and organization, beginning with basic principles, the text develops the foundation needed to master advanced principles and applications. Following a brief overview, data examples from biomedical research studies are presented and point to the need for nonparametric regression analysis approaches. Next, the authors review mixed-effects models and nonparametric regression models, which are the two key building blocks of the proposed modeling techniques.    The core section of the book consists of four chapters dedicated to the major nonparametric regression methods: local polynomial, regression spline, smoothing spline, and penalized spline. The next two chapters extend these modeling techniques to semiparametric and time varying coefficient models for longitudinal data analysis. The final chapter examines discrete longitudinal data modeling and analysis.    Each chapter concludes with a summary that highlights key points and also provides bibliographic notes that point to additional sources for further study. Examples of data analysis from biomedical research are used to illustrate the methodologies contained throughout the book. Technical proofs are presented in separate appendices.    With its focus on solving problems, this is an excellent textbook for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in longitudinal data analysis. It is also recommended as a reference for biostatisticians and other theoretical and applied research statisticians with an interest in longitudinal data analysis. Not only do readers gain an understanding of the principles of various nonparametric regression methods, but they also gain a practical understanding of how to use the methods to tackle real-world problems.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52145954521361,"sku":"NLS9780471483502","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780471483502.jpg?v=1757595816"},{"product_id":"statistics-and-machine-learning-methods-for-ehr-data-book-hulin-wu-9780367442392","title":"Statistics and Machine Learning Methods for EHR Data","description":"The book carefully evaluates and compares the standard statistical models and approaches with those of machine learning and deep learning methods and reports the unbiased comparison results for these methods in predicting clinical outcomes based on the EHR data.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52335605219601,"sku":"NLS9780367442392","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53081523552529,"sku":"NIN9780367442392","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780367442392.jpg?v=1758160543"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-hulin-wu.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
