Review

From the reviews:

IEEE ELECTRICAL INSULATION MAGAZINE

"Virtually all data taken require some form of modeling and curve fitting. This excellent book will give the reader a very clear understanding of the techniques used for fitting most types of data; and, because it covers all the significant areas, it can serve as a reference source. Students and especially researchers involved with data taking and modeling will greatly benefit from this book."

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.
