Readers quickly master and learn to apply statistical methods, such as bootstrap, decision trees, t-test, and permutations to better characterize, report, test, and classify their research findings. In addition to traditional methods, specialized methods are covered, allowing readers to select and apply the most effective method for their researcResampling (Statistics)Electronic books.Resampling (Statistics)519.52519.54Good Phillip I102489MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910143402803321Introduction to statistics through resampling methods and Microsoft Office Excel2246804UNINA02685nam 2200541 a 450 991077962840332120200520144314.01-62257-552-0(CKB)2550000001042672(EBL)3020480(SSID)ssj0001178309(PQKBManifestationID)12474265(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001178309(PQKBWorkID)11168595(PQKB)10383880(MiAaPQ)EBC3020480(Au-PeEL)EBL3020480(CaPaEBR)ebr10677544(OCoLC)839691239(EXLCZ)99255000000104267220120629d2013 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrHealth risk communication[electronic resource] /Marijke Lemal and Joav Merrick, editorsHauppauge, N.Y.

Health risk communication -- section 2. Acknowledgments -- section 3. Index." Health risk communication deals with planned or unplanned communication to the public about the nature, impact and management of a wide array of health threats, such as cancer, HIV/AIDS or influenza pandemics. Traditional health risk communication models used to stress a one-way flow of health risk messages to the public. The dominant focus was on experts (government, health organizations ...) merely disseminating risk information and educating a lay and ignorant public about health threats. However, this simplistic top-down model of communication ignored the complex nature of the audience and the publics understanding of risk information. Fortunately, there has been a shift away from top-down communication about health threats. This book gathers research findings and theoretical reviews with a focus on the role of mass media as sources of health risk information, the role of message formats or frames and risk information source characteristics"--Provided by publisher.Health and human development series.Health risk communicationHealth risk communication.362.1Lemal Marijke1488421Merrick Joav884058MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779628403321Health risk communication3708667UNINA02723nam 2200577Ia 450 991077735090332120200520144314.01-280-51492-297866105149221-84544-348-9(CKB)1000000000000303(EBL)289792(OCoLC)61394927(SSID)ssj0000465291(PQKBManifestationID)11283708(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000465291(PQKBWorkID)10439527(PQKB)11187990(MiAaPQ)EBC289792(Au-PeEL)EBL289792(CaPaEBR)ebr10058616(CaONFJC)MIL51492(EXLCZ)99100000000000030320041014d2004 my 0engur|n|---|||||txtccr2004: the year in balance[electronic resource][Bradford, England] Emerald Group Pub.20041 online resource (32 p.)Balance sheet ;v. 12, no. 2, 2004, special issueDescription based upon print version of record.0-86176-927-9 Table of contents; Editor's page; Looking ahead at 2004: a global standard-setter's perspective; Hopes and fears for financial reporting and corporate governance; 2004: the year of the truth; Corporate regulation: dead hand or safeguard in the year 2004; Disclosure, litigation and regulation: the challenges of the year ahead; How prospective financial information will transform 2004; Caught in the middle: the treasury view of 2004; A seven-point prediction for 2004One of the key issues of the year is a simple one. Across Europe all listed companies will have to carry out their financial reporting under the rules promulgated by the International Accounting Standards Board by the year 2005. This means that 2004, given that comparative figures will have to be shown in 2005, is the crunch time. But it is not only Europe. Countries right around the world have latched onto the initiative and are following suit. The question is how far this movement towards harmonizing global financial reporting can move.
