From the Back Cover

Aimed at the scientist who wishes to gain a working knowledge of regression analysis, the basic purpose of this volume is to develop an understanding of least squares and related statistical methods without becoming excessively mathematical. It is neither a cookbook nor a theoretical book. It is the outgrowth of more than 30 years of consulting experience with scientists and many years of teaching applied regression courses to graduate students in the sciences. Applied Regression Analysis serves as an excellent text for a service course on regression for nonstatisticians and also as a reference for researchers. It also provides a bridge between a two-semester introduction to statistical methods and a theoretical linear models course.
