Abstract
Recall from Chap. 1 that a critical assumption we often make in statistics is independence—when this assumption is violated, you are stuffed. Well, unless you have a good idea of how this assumption is violated. This chapter describes a few such situations where we expect data to be dependent and can specify a model to describe this dependence, so that we can make valid conclusions from our data.
