Informed by the latest developments, this volume adds a much-needed focus on direct methodology to the literature on control and systems theory. New material presented includes representation techniques for stochastic systems involving Lévy processes.
Although the applications of R presented in this text are focused on the analysis of psychophysical data, the methodology is generalizable to many other areas in statistics. For example, coverage of solving equations by maximum likelihood and the various general linear model functions are applicable in many situations which occur in statistical data analysis. I found the discussion of ROC analysis to be very useful in many other areas of statistics also. Therefore, I would recommend this text to anyone who works with, or is interested in, psychophysical data or even to anyone who wants to increase their knowledge of R.
