About this title

Synopsis

Regression students will appreciate this best-seller's modern, practical approach and its use of real-life problems. The third edition offers a significant shift in emphasis from calculation to interpretation, by replacing computational formulas with computer printouts in SAS. It highlights the role of the computer in contemporary statistics with numerous printouts and exercises that can be solved with the computer. Appropriate for statistics, biostatistics, mathematics, psychology, sociology, business, and industrial engineering students or anyone who intends to use regression analysis in their work, this text offers a traditional structure with a modern flavor. The authors emphasize model development; the intuitive logic and assumptions that underlie the techniques covered as well as the purposes, advantages and disadvantages, and valid interpretations of those techniques.

Review

"The authors' writing style is right on the mark--not too many words pass before a good numerical example appears."

"The integration of the software output is well done. Good, motivating, real-life examples and problem sets....Chapter 16 does an excellent job of laying out the problem of selecting the 'best' regression model in a step-by-step manner and brings in variable selection procedures."

"The solution manual to the book is a tremendous 'gift' as it saves a great deal of time for many busy professors."
