It then moves on to cover the following topics: graphical methods for examining and transforming data; linear least-squares regression; dummy-variables regression; analysis of variance; diagnostic methods for discovering whether a linear model fit to data adequately represents the data; extensions to linear least squares, including logit and probit models, time-series regression, nonlinear
