Published by UTM Press in 2024, the book highlights practical approaches and real-case applications, making it an essential reference not only for researchers and academics but also for industry practitioners involved in data analysis.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1188\" data-end=\"1816\">The book is divided into two main sections. The first focuses on medical statistical modelling, covering topics such as cancer patient survival analysis, anaemia detection, lung function assessments, air pollution effects, and smoking cessation success rates. The second section addresses economic modelling, including studies on inflation rates, insurance policy analysis, and food price predictions, using a wide range of statistical techniques such as Bayesian, Monte Carlo, regression, ARIMA, and fuzzy logic models. This structure ensures comprehensive coverage of both theoretical approaches and real-world applications.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1818\" data-end=\"1842\"><strong data-start=\"1818\" data-end=\"1840\">About the Editors:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1843\" data-end=\"2949\">\n<li data-start=\"1843\" data-end=\"2395\">\n<p data-start=\"1845\" data-end=\"2395\"><strong data-start=\"1845\" data-end=\"1884\">Dr. Nor Arina Bazilah binti Kamisan<\/strong> is a Senior Lecturer at UTM, specialising in time series and applied statistics.
