This book provides a concise and accessible overview of model
averaging, with a focus on applications. Model averaging is a common
means of allowing for model uncertainty when analysing data, and has
been used in a wide range of application areas, such as ecology,
econometrics, meteorology and pharmacology. The book presents an
overview of the methods developed in this area, illustrating many of
them with examples from the life sciences involving real-world data.
It also includes an extensive list of references and suggestions for
further research. Further, it clearly demonstrates the links between
the methods developed in statistics, econometrics and machine
learning, as well as the connection between the Bayesian and
frequentist approaches to model averaging. The book appeals to
statisticians and scientists interested in what methods are available,
how they differ and what is known about their properties. It is
assumed that readers are familiar with the basic concepts of
statistical theory and modelling, including probability, likelihood
and generalized linear models.
