Synopsis:

Bridges the gap between theory and practice of regression analysis, providing a balance between theoretical results, empirical rules, and the analyst's subjective judgment. Describes methods by using realistic examples that emphasize the analysis of data and that contain irregularities similar to those encountered in practice. Demonstrates concepts by utilizing standard--and some not so standard--summary statistics on the basis of their intuitive appeal.

Review: "A textbook for students who have some background in statistics but are not specialists in it, and who use regression analysis quite extensively in their work. Students who are specializing in statistics might find it a useful balance..." ( SciTech Book News, Vol. 24, No. 4, December 2000)

Overall, the material that is covered is an excellent introduction to a substantial collection of diagnostic tools that aid in uncovering hidden structures in one′s data. I would recommend the book as an addition to any applied statistician′s library. (Technometrics, Vol. 42, No. 4, May 2001)

This book is a thorough overview and introduction to regression analysis that is sensibly arranged and easy to read. Care has been taken to provide verbal explanations for quanitative and algebraic expressions, and to provide interpretations for statistical results and insights. (The Statistician, 50 (1), 2001)

"This book is a major rewriting and reorganization of previous editions. New material is added to reflect advances in the field." (Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 946, No. 21)
