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

Synopsis:

A practical and mathematically simple introduction to regression methods, applicable to real-life problems. The text emphasizes the intuitive logic and assumptions that underlie the techniques covered, their purposes, advantages and disadvantages, and valid interpretations, the latter especially with the help of the computer.
