Applied Econometrics: An Introduction. E-book. Formato PDF Massimiliano Marcellino   -  Egea, 2016  - 

The goal of this book is to facilitate both teaching of applied econometrics, particularly in undergraduate and Master courses, and learning by students and, more generally, by those concerned with a formal measurement of economic events. The task requires combining statistics, economics and computer science in the right proportions. Statistics is needed for a correct formulation of the problem and interpretation of the results, so the statistical content of this book is rigorous but limited to what is strictly necessary. All theoretical concepts are then illustrated empirically, with examples that use either simulated data or actual data on economic variables. The examples in this text are based on EViews.

Furthermore, Big Data are fundamental in the diagnostic and forecasting processes of disease risk. This book aims to lay the essential and train the professional figure of the data scientist, starting from the most basic elements of statistics, a fundamental subject for the explanation of phenomena, up to the explanation and use of complex software such as Python.
