In the 1940 and 1950s, dose-response analysis was intimately linked to evaluation of toxicity in terms of binary responses, such as immobility and mortality, with a limited number of doses of a toxic compound being compared to a control group (dose 0). Later, dose-response analysis has been extended to other types of data and to more complex experimental designs. Moreover, estimation of model parameters has undergone a dramatic change, from struggling with cumbersome manual operations and transformations with pen and paper to rapid calculations on any laptop. Advances in statistical software have fueled this development. Key Features: Provides a practical and comprehensive overview of dose-response analysis. Includes numerous real data examples to illustrate the methodology. R code is integrated into the text to give guidance on applying the methods. Written with minimal mathematics to be suitable for practitioners. Includes code and datasets on the book's GitHub: https://github.com/DoseResponse. This book focuses on estimation and interpretation of entirely parametric nonlinear dose-response models using the powerful statistical environment R. Specifically, this book introduces dose-response analysis of continuous, binomial, count, multinomial, and event-time dose-response data. The statistical models used are partly special cases, partly extensions of nonlinear regression models, generalized linear and nonlinear regression models, and nonlinear mixed-effects models (for hierarchical dose-response data). Both simple and complex dose-response experiments will be analyzed.DrugsDose-response relationshipDrugsTestingComputer simulationR (Computer program language)DrugsDose-response relationship.DrugsTestingComputer simulation.R (Computer program language).615.1Ritz Christian513581Streibig Jens C513582Jensen Signe Marie1528170Gerhard Daniel1528171OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910793750303321Dose-response Analysis With R3771598UNINA04643nam 2200529 450 991078821490332120220923170517.00-231-51998-210.7312/chew14856(CKB)3170000000065121(DE-B1597)458745(OCoLC)861793266(OCoLC)979969460(DE-B1597)9780231519984(Au-PeEL)EBL3029386(CaPaEBR)ebr10975969(CaONFJC)MIL853666(MiAaPQ)EBC3029386(EXLCZ)99317000000006512120141121h20092009 uy 0engurcnu||||||||rdacontentrdamediardacarrierU.S. corporate governance /edited by Donald H.

In this collection of classic and current articles from the Journal of Applied Corporate Finance, thought leaders such as Michael Jensen and Robert Monks discuss the corporate mission of value maximization and the accomplishments and limitations of the U.S. governance system in achieving that end. Essays address the elements driving corporate value: the board of directors, compensation for CEOs and other employees, incentives and organizational structure, external ownership and control, role of markets, and financial reporting. They evaluate best practice methods, challenges in designing equity plans, transferable stock options, the controversy over executive compensation, the values of decentralization, identifying and attracting the "right" investors, the evolution of shareholder activism, creating value through mergers and acquisitions, and the benefits of just saying no to Wall Street's "earnings game." Grounded in solid research and practice, U.S. Corporate Governance is a crucial companion for navigating the world of modern finance.Corporate governanceUnited StatesCorporate governance338.60973Chew Donald H.Gillan Stuart L.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788214903321U.S. corporate governance3759600UNINA
