Matrix Algebra Useful for Statistics

A thoroughly updated guide to matrix algebra and its
uses in statistical analysis and features SAS®, MATLAB®, and R throughout

This Second Edition addresses matrix algebra that is useful in the statistical analysis of data as well as within statistics as a whole. The material is presented in an explanatory style rather than a formal theorem–proof format and is self–contained.  Featuring numerous applied illustrations, numerical examples, and exercises, the book has been updated to include the use of SAS, MATLAB, and R for the execution of matrix computations. In addition, André I. Khuri, who has extensive research and teaching experience in the field, joins this new edition as co–author. The Second Edition also:

Contains new coverage on vector spaces and linear transformations and discusses computational aspects of matrices Covers the analysis of balanced linear models using direct products of matrices.   Analyzes multiresponse linear models where several responses can be of interest Includes extensive use of SAS, MATLAB, and R throughout Contains over 400 examples and exercises to reinforce understanding along with select solutions Includes plentiful new illustrations depicting the importance of geometry as well as historical interludes

Matrix Algebra Useful for Statistics, Second Edition is an ideal textbook for advanced undergraduate and first–year graduate level courses in statistics and other related disciplines. The book is also appropriate as a reference for independent readers who use statistics and wish to improve their knowledge of matrix algebra.

André I. Khuri, PhD, is Professor Emeritus of Statistics at the University of Florida. He has published several books in the field of linear models and advanced calculus with applications in statistics, two of which were published by Wiley. Dr. Khuri is a member of numerous academic associations, among them the American Statistical Association and the Institute of Mathematical Statistics.

The late Shayle R. Searle, PhD, was professor emeritus of biometry at Cornell University. He was the author of Variance Components, Linear Models and Linear Models for Unbalanced Data  and co–author of Generalized, Linear, and Mixed Models, all published by Wiley. Dr. Searle received the Alexander von Humboldt Senior Scientist Award, and he was an honorary fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand.
