ALERT: Before you purchase, check with your instructor or review your course syllabus to ensure that you select the correct ISBN. Several versions of Pearson's MyLab & Mastering products exist for each title, including customized versions for individual schools, and registrations are not transferable. In addition, you may need a CourseID, provided by your instructor, to register for and use Pearson's MyLab & Mastering products.   Packages Access codes for Pearson's MyLab & Mastering products may not be included when purchasing or renting from companies other than Pearson; check with the seller before completing your purchase.   Used or rental books If you rent or purchase a used book with an access code, the access code may have been redeemed previously and you may have to purchase a new access code.   Access codes Access codes that are purchased from sellers other than Pearson carry a higher risk of being either the wrong ISBN or a previously redeemed code. Check with the seller prior to purchase.   -- Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE This package consists of the textbook plus an access kit for MyMathLab/MyStatLab.   The Bittinger Graphs and Models Series helps students “see the math” and learn algebra by making connections between mathematical concepts and their real-world applications. The authors use a variety of tools and techniques—including side-by-side algebraic and graphical solutions and graphing calculators, when appropriate—to engage and motivate all types of learners. Abundant applications, many of which use real data, provide a context for learning and understanding the math.  MyMathLab provides a wide range of homework, tutorial, and assessment tools that make it easy to manage your course online.

Featuring an early introduction to functions, this text helps students develop the ability to synthesize and conceptualize material by thoroughly integrating coverage of graphing and problem solving without sacrificing manipulative skills. Students appreciate the non-technical writing and the author's notes in worked examples while instructors appreciate the realistic applications, mathematical accuracy, and the flexibility Gustafson affords.

Recounts the experience of Baptist minister Don Piper, who was pronounced dead at the scene of a car accident and experienced the glories of heaven for ninety minutes, but who miraculously came back to life, where he endured a long and painful recovery.

Nonparametric function estimation with stochastic data, otherwiseknown as smoothing, has been studied by several generations ofstatisticians. Assisted by the ample computing power in today'sservers, desktops, and laptops, smoothing methods have been findingtheir ways into everyday data analysis by practitioners. While scoresof methods have proved successful for univariate smoothing, onespractical in multivariate settings number far less. Smoothing splineANOVA models are a versatile family of smoothing methods derivedthrough roughness penalties, that are suitable for both univariate andmultivariate problems.In this book, the author presents a treatise on penalty smoothingunder a unified framework. Methods are developed for (i) regressionwith Gaussian and non-Gaussian responses as well as with censored lifetime data; (ii) density and conditional density estimation under avariety of sampling schemes; and (iii) hazard rate estimation withcensored life time data and covariates. The unifying themes are thegeneral penalized likelihood method and the construction ofmultivariate models with built-in ANOVA decompositions. Extensivediscussions are devoted to model construction, smoothing parameterselection, computation, and asymptotic convergence.Most of the computational and data analytical tools discussed in thebook are implemented in R, an open-source platform for statisticalcomputing and graphics. Suites of functions are embodied in the Rpackage gss, and are illustrated throughout the book using simulatedand real data examples.This monograph will be useful as a reference work for researchers intheoretical and applied statistics as well as for those in otherrelated disciplines. It can also be used as a text for graduate levelcourses on the subject. Most of the materials are accessible to asecond year graduate student with a good training in calculus andlinear algebra and working knowledge in basic statistical inferencessuch as linear models and maximum likelihood estimates.
